Y2K Support

The Personal NetWare component was not tested for Y2K Compatibility (according to an April 1999 article). Probably Novell DOS 7 itself wasn't either but I can't find anything from novell on the subject probably due to the product line being sold to Caldera mid-1996.

End of Support

Novell stopped supporting DR-DOS when they sold it to Caldera on 23 July 1996. Not sure how long Caldera supported it for. NetWare Lite was discontinued on 30 April 1998 (ref).
