Yes. It also includes the personal netware part as well.

I wouldn't quite go that far, but it is a very nice combination. If,
using OpenDOS, Geoworks were able to multitask DOS applications, then it
would be truly close. With only task switching, it is quite nice, but
not there yet. Still, on this rather limited power laptop, it works
where OS/2 wouldn't. I like the fact that this laptop is 100%
Microsoft fatware free :-)))
