SUMMARY
=======

Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) provides the functionality to work with Novell
NetWare networks versions 2.1 and later. This allows a Novell NetWare client
workstation to become a Windows for Workgroups workstation, thereby providing
access to Novell NetWare servers and/or Windows for Workgroups servers.
