NetWare 3 continues to maintain significant customer loyalty and to add value to companies, as proven by an installed base of approximately 1.5 million servers worldwide. To address the needs of companies that have chosen not to upgrade to intraNetWare at this time, Novell has released NetWare 3.2, which provides both updates and enhancements for existing NetWare 3 servers. MORE RELIABLE AND EASIER TO MANAGE Whether you are planning to install a new NetWare 3.2 server or to upgrade from NetWare 3.11 or NetWare 3.12, you will find that NetWare 3.2 offers several features that make it worth the time and money.

For example, NetWare 3.2 delivers the following features: • NetWare 3 updates • Year 2000 updates • Network management utilities • Updated 32-bit client software • Two versions of Netscape Navigator • Two-user version of intraNetWare NETWARE 3 UPDATES For years, NetWare 3 administrators have faced a continuous deluge of updates, including patches; fixes; and LAN, WAN, and disk driver updates. Although these updates are available free through Novell's Support Connection World-Wide Web site (), keeping track of these updates can be an enormous management task.

(For more information about the year 2000 problem, see 'Exterminating the Millennium Bug Before It Wreaks Havoc on Your Company's Network,' NetWare Connection, June 1998, pp. 8-20.) Fortunately, you don't need to worry about your company's NetWare network: Novell has conducted extensive product testing to validate that the latest versions of most of its products are year 2000 ready.

According to John Canfield, Novell's year 2000 marketing manager, these updates 'are not critical to the function of the operating system. Most of the problems we found are date display issues for which we have released the updates.'
