Netware usually puts LOAD CONLOG very close to the beginning of the
AUTOEXEC.NCF.  Unless your AUTOEXEC.NCF is running from the DOS
partition, you can mve it up to just past the INTENRLA IPX NUMBER line. 
CONLOG Creates a log file in SYS:\ETC that contains all the messages
sent to the console.  Simply UNLOAD CONLOG, then read the file (named
CONSOLE.LOG, I think).  Of cours,e you'll miss messages generated by
anything that loads from the STARTUP.NCF.  I've not tried putting a copy
of CONLOG.NLM in C:\NWSERVER and loading it in the STARTUP.NCF (it will
let you specify a file name, so you can point the log file to the DOS
partition). I believe I'd do so with caution, though.

At the console prompt: LOAD VREPAIR.  Use ALT-ESC to switch back to the
console prompt load any namespace support modules, such as V_MAC or
V_LONG.  Dismount the SYS volume by typing DISMOUNT SYS:.  ALT-ESC to
the VREPAIR screen and run vrepair.  Exit VREPAIR, bring hte server dow
then back up.

Never used NWC.  For simple file tranfer I think I'd like ite better
than WinFrame.  Remember WinFrame is an NT server that creates a
'virtual machine" for each connection.  We have a WinFrame server that
was forced on us as part of a software package.  It is used steadily by
5-7 people everyday.  Only after we upgraded it to a *dual* 400 Mhz P-II
with 512MB of RAM and a F/W SCSI Raid was performance acceptable.

Create the print queue in NDS using NWADMN95.  Create a printer, and
make sure it's communications properties are set to "remote parallel". 
At the workstation running Windows95, navigate to F:\PUBLIC\WIN95 and
run NPTR95.  I'll leave it as an exercise for the student to figure out
how to make it work from the Startup Group.
