Hello Imran,

Bear in mind here that I am no expert, and have no experience whatsoever
with Novell, but the modified startup files below should do the trick. 
Perhaps you'll get a reply from someone with some experience in Novell,
and/or the programs/devices/drivers that are loaded that I do not
recognise, which I have marked with and asterisk (*).  Obviously, if you
copy it all wholesale, delete the asterisks. :)  Where I don't recognise
something, I have left it to load/run.

Also, to optimise your memory usage, I would run Memmaker, or Qemm (if you
have it), after you have put the files to use and determined that
everything loads alright - use the F8 function key option upon booting up
to confirm each line.  Note that I have deleted all references to load
devices/programs into high memory, so Memmaker can do its own thing.

I have 'rem'arked out the lines which I believe refer to your Novell
networking settings.  I have also 'remmed' out the SHARE program lines, as
WFW loads it's own version of this program, so it's not needed if you're
only going to be using WFW and plain DOS.  In fact, if you don't use any
DOS programs, or none in which you use a mouse, you can save a little more
memory by 'rem'ing out the MOUSE line as WFW provides its own.  You can
also comment out (with a semi-colon ;) the SETVER line in your CONFIG.SYS
if you don't use any DOS programs, or no old ones at least.

If you don't want to use the DOS menu program you have, you can rem out
the last two lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Hope this helps, and short of getting some expert help here, you can email
me if you have any problems.

Regards,

Daren Palmer.

This line may not need to be there at all
  PATH C:\NWCLIENT\;%PATH%

These appear to be the ones that install the network - the actual 
installation is done by STARTNET.
