Hi,

I am a bit suprised that your boss didn't supply you with the documentation and
sales literature that you must have around your office somewhere.  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...
