Introduction

WnSyscon is a shareware Netware 2.x, 3.x administration utility that runs under Microsoft Windows version 3.1, 3.11 and 95.

It enables the Netware administrator to modify/create Users and Groups, edit login scripts (User and System), and edit the Netware Autoexec files.  Most of the functionality of Novell's DOS based Syscon program is provided, but with the added advantages that a Windows environment provides.

Many enhancements are planned for the future, see Future Developments. for more information.

WnSyscon's main window consists of a title bar, speed buttons and a status bar.  Move the mouse over the picture, when the cursor becomes a hand, click the mouse for further help.

Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
