Hello,

I know of two things to change this, use the setver command, or to debug the netx32.exe and take out the dos-check. Using setver should work however, I do not have novell running so I can't check this. Wouter Dijkslag

Hi,

Debugging is the process of removing bugs from a program. This can be when you have the source, or if you lost it, by patching the program. A version check normally very simple, and easily patched out.
However, this requires knowledge of assembly language, and how to use a debugger.
Then it becomes simply following the flow of the program untill the version check, and changing the instruction that tests it, or jump around the version-check.
