subject: Novel & Win`NT Volume Reader

Hi All!
Who is interested in new program for reading and managing volume of Novel 
NetWare 3.X+ and Windows NT contact me.
Some details:
> Description:
  This programm reads, under specified conditions, contense of NetWare 3.X+ 
and Windows NT volume and, in case of FULL version of NET386, extracts files 
to MS-DOS compatible (MS-DOS 3.00 - 6.22, Windows 3.XX, Windows95, Novell DOS 
etc.) volume, preserving directory structure.
>  Conditions:
    1) Volume is accessable either from hard disk via BIOS (most of
       IDE drives, SCSI drives with ASPI) or from image file of such hard 
disk,
       placed to MS-DOS compatible volume. The programm will search on 16
       first BIOS drives (0x80 - 0x8f) for FIRST NetWare partition to mount.
    2) NetWare volume does not have any, except 8.3 MS-DOS compatible, name
       space loaded.
    3) Files to be extracted are not compressed.
    4) Every NetWare 4.X volume consists of single volume segment.
    5) Hardware requirements:
       1) >386 processor.
       2) Memory must be enouph to read ALL NetWare directory structure,
          it depends on volume - approximately 5-10 Mb for 1000 directory
          entries.
       3) If you decide to extract files, remember, that you will need more
          disk space on MS-DOS compatible volume comparing with NetWare 4.X
          because of advanced NetWare suballocation methods.
    6) Software requirements:
       1) MS-DOS 3.3 - 6.22. No Windows, OS/2, NT etc.
       2) Memory menagers (HIMEM.SYS, QEMM386.SYS etc) does not prevent,
          usually.
       3) SMARTDRV.EXE is recommended, if you have enouph memory.
       4) Using SCSI hard disks may need ASPI????.SYS to load in CONGIG.SYS.
          It depends on SCSI host adapter BIOS and on total number of disks
          attached. If you can read such disk via MS-DOS - all Ok.
  Version 1.1 will be later with some new features:
    1) Full name space support.
    2) Dynamic memory usage, maybe work without MS-DOS extender.
    3) Full files compression support.
    4) Multisegment volume support.
    5) Fixed old bugs (added new ones?).
