Is the status of Personal Netware:

 Not open, but distributable in binary form (with some restrictions)
 with OpenDOS only when sold by Caldera?

Personal Netware is very good, but I get the impression that Personal
Netware isn't being developed by Novell yet is stopeed by them from
being developed further by others.

Although there seem to be some minor problems (mainly in printing to
serial printers) the only thing I'd like to see work put into at the
moment is making it inter-operate with other systems (e.g. adapt the
Linux netware server to handle PNW as well; allow Netware servers to
re-export local printers from PC's running SERVER; work with OS/2 and
Macs; make SERVER work while other software is running - such as TCPIP
stacks or W95).

Hopefully somebody will say some of these are possible at the moment,
but they aren't generally perceived to be.
