OVERVIEW:
---------

        This application note provides recommendations for configuration of 
sharable CD-ROM drives on a Novell Netware LAN with WinView Application 
Server(s). 

        The preferred method for sharing CD-ROM drives is to add SCSI
CD-ROM drives to the Novell File Server and mount them as volumes. This 
document will address two Novell environments: 

(A) Novell NetWare 3.11 

(B) Novell NetWare 3.12/4.x.


SETUP:
------

Novell File Server Software.

A. For NetWare 3.11, there is no support included for NetWare Server mounted
CD-ROM volumes. Meridian Data, Inc. sells CD-NET for NetWare for this purpose.

        The Meridian Data CD-NET for NetWare is a software package that allows
a Novell fileserver to control and mount CD-ROM's as if they were standard 
NetWare volumes. This allows everyone on the LAN to have access (if given) to 
the CD-ROM's that are mounted as standard network drives.

B. For Netware 3.12/4.x, CD-ROM support is included.

        The included support within NetWare 3.12/4.x is similar to Meridian's CD-NET
for NetWare, and is covered in the Novell Network Support Encyclopedia under
titles CD-ROM Setup under Netware 3.12 and Mounting a CD-ROM Device as a 
Netware Volume.


OPERATION:
----------

        In both cases, the procedure does not effect the WinView and client 
programs (Lanlink, Remote Link and IPlink) configuration, installation or 
operation.  Once the CD-ROM(s) are installed, configured and mounted in the 
Novell File Server, access to them are the same as accessing a network drive 
from a workstation.
