Year-2000 Compliance Novell has announced that intraNetWare, NetWare 4.11, and NetWare 3.12 are year-2000 compliant. Novell recently conducted extensive testing to determine how these products will respond to date changes in the year 2000. The testing has revealed that no significant problems exist, proving that intraNetWare and NetWare will remain reliable networking solutions well into the 21st century. However, Novell did find some minor problems with how certain intraNetWare and NetWare utilities display dates. To address these problems, Novell has released a set of year-2000 updates. To install these updates, you must upgrade from all earlier versions of NetWare to at least NetWare 3.12. You can download the year-2000 updates from novell.com.
