     Installation Instructions:

     To install DSVIEW.NLM on each NetWare 4.x server, complete the following
     steps:

     1.   If you are using bindery emulation, log into the file server as
          Supervisor or as a user that is Supervisor Equivalent.  If you are
          using the VLMs, log into the network as ADMIN or as a user that has
          Supervisor rights to the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the server on which
          you will be running the DSVIEW.NLM.

     2.   Map a drive to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     3.   Copy DSVIEW.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     4.   To run DSVIEW.NLM, use RCONSOLE.EXE or go the console of the server
          where the NLM will be run and type LOAD DSVIEW.

     Solution Specifics:

     The following information categories may be selected from the main menu:

     1.   Entry Information
          View the information about the entries themselves (entries such as,
          local id, base class, creation time, subordinates, attributes, and
          attribute values).  Navigate through the entries using the "tree"
          model.  For example, go from parent to child or from sibling to
          sibling.

     2.   Partition Information
          Displays the partitions located on the server.

     3.   Tree (Start at [Root])
          Displays the entries, beginning at [Root].  This is a quick way to
          return to the top of the tree.

     4.   Attribute Definitions
          Displays the attributes defined by the schema.

     5.   Class Definitions
          Displays the classes defined by the schema.

     6.   Server Information
          Displays information specific to the local server (such as, name,
          address, file size)
