This review is from: Networking With NetWare for Dummies (Paperback)

I needed to learn this subject for a project at work. It was delivered promptly. By itself it was not what I needed, but it did help me understand several aspects of Netware that I was having trouble grasping. I had bought several books on Netware at the time, and it was useful in a contributory way. I recommend it to anyone who needs to learn (or brush up on) Netware if you have or are getting additional references.
