Not yet.

It should. The reason I have tried it yet is that at least with Netware
286 Advanced it requires 2.15 revision C and I currently have revision A.
The update is on the way.  I also received the new Shell which allows it 
to be loaded directly in expanded or extended memory.

It uses all extended memory, and provides virtual machines of 640k with 
LIM4.0 expanded memory available.  It also uses virtual memory techniques
so that my 4MB machine looks like it has 12MB available.

All that is available is the 640k of DOS.

The new Print Manager allows direct control of Network Spoolers.  It is 
completely network aware.  This should provide a tremendous speed increase
as you should now be printing to the network queue (like Word Perfect 5.1 does)
as opposed to the LPT1: port.
