Compaq Tips and Tricks for NetWare 5
IMPORTANT TIP: If updated drivers and components become available after your NetWare 5
purchase but before installation, you can still use the updated versions rather than the ones that
came with NetWare 5. Just place the new release in C:\NWUPDATE; then run INSTALL.BAT, as
usual. INSTALL.BAT checks this directory for any newer versions of drivers and system
components and then automatically replaces the older versions.
On the SmartStart CD-ROM is another jewel that is often overlooked: CPQFM.NLM.
Compaq File Management Utility for NetWare (CPQFM.NLM)
CPQFM.NLM incorporates many common commands in a familiar, graphical, menu-driven
interface. Not only a timesaver, it's free. That's right. Unlike many commercial products that
offer less functionality, CPQFM.NLM is available free-of-charge on the SmartStart CD-ROM.
It's also available on the Compaq ActiveAnswers Resource Paq for Novell: the snazzy Compaq
and Novell Partnership CD-ROM packed with lots of multi-media information; such as videos,
slide presentations, white papers, SoftPaqs, and utilities. By the way, you can order the resource
kit from our Partnership website:

To launch any NLM or to connect to remote servers for file manipulations, CPQFM.NLM's
commands are extended and also apply to the remote file system.
To view a menu of appropriate file or directory commands and functions, highlight the file or
directory and press Tab (the majority of CPQFM.NLM functions are under the Tab menu).
To view all version and date information for a specific CDM (Custom Device Module), DSK,
HAM (Host Adapter Module), LAN, NLM, or PSM (Platform Support Module) file, just
highlight the file and press Enter.
To delete the highlighted file or directory tree, just press Del.
