You might consider purchasing the Novell API references (two volumes) for $25.00 each. Netware and DOS are like oil and water. Netware formats the harddisk on the server using it's own format and it is very different from DOS. DOS is allowed to run on the file server as a guest operating system. My guess is that the Norton Utilities by pass the DOS calls and go right to the harddisk this would cause Norton to see things that it did not understand. Marc ---- ...
