Certainly there is such literature and you probably have been recieving it for some time in those huge sales packets. At any rate, I'll give you a few bits from my manual. 1. NW4MAC (v3.x) runs on NetWare v3.11. It consists of basically 3 *.NLMs: a. APPLETLK.NLM b. AFP.NLM c. ATPS.NLM 2. A monitoring NLM is also provided and is called ATCON.NLM. Also client utilities for the Macintosh are provided. 3. The memory requirements are largely dependant on your particular requirements. For example, you need just 200k to load APPLETLK.NLM but the memory you need for things like ECB (packet recieve buffers) or for increase file caching is pretty much dependant on your particular needs. If you do not have the documentation to which I refer, please contact the Pre-Sales Support Team via. our Technical Support Hotline (1-800-NETWARE, USA). They will send you the sales information you seek. Think Peace... Dan Seeman Novell Walnut Creek, Ca. These are my suggestions and opinions. They do not necessarily reflect those of Novell.
