Here is the summary finally (Sorry about the delay)

Here is the question again for those who missed it the first time around.

Well the answer is not as complicated as the question.

Pathworks for Win95 is necessary as far as we can tell. 

Once Pathworks is installed you have to Change the settings in Control_Panel (we have it in German and here it is called "Systemsteuerung") Network and then install the drivers: Pathworks Decnet, Pathworks LAT and Pathworks NDIS Support.  

*****Pathworks 5 ******** does not work in our constellation!!!!!!!

Then once this is done to connect a drive you click onto Workstation (Arbeitsstation) and choose _network_drive_connect_ at which point you give the network drive name etc. and you yre then connected. At least this works in our world.

BTW we have managed to crash Win95 itself but not with any great consistency. Telnet can cause some problems but we haven't documented it yet. 

Thanks to all who offered advice. Our tester is thrilled by Win95 and we have it running on 486 with 16MB.

Cheers

Tom
