Hi!

A while back I had a problem getting Microsoft 386 Windows to work
with Novell NetWare client software on my NCR PC925.

When I loaded the Novell client software on my "workstaton" (really a pc) 
then attempted to load 386 Windows, I recieved a "unsupported dos version" 
error.

Stan Grant of NCR PCD called and gave me a solution.  In order to run
both 386 Windows and Novell client software, I needed to up my
FILES, BUFFERS, and STACKS environment variables located in config.sys.

In config.sys, I added:

	 FILES=40
	 BUFFERS=40
	 STACKS=20,256

These numbers are probably inflated more than they have to be, but
toying with them will result in the minimum parameters for each.

Many thanks for all the help I received!

Bobby
