  Novell, Inc.
  
     <company, networking> A software development company
     specialising in networking and workgroup applications.
  
     Novell started life as Novell Data Systems, a computer
     hardware business.  The company was reorganised as Novell,
     Inc., and began to focus almost entirely on networking in
     1983, with the release of Novell Netware 1, a Network Operating System
      for IBM PCs.
  
     Novell Netware's success has left Novell in a dominant
     position in the networking market.  The product has evolved
     and now supports many hardware and software platforms
     together with WAN connectivity.
  
     The company has diversified in recent years, with the
     acquisition of several mainstream applications, including
     Wordperfect and Quattro Pro.  Other products include
     UnixWare, AppWare, Personal NetWare, Groupwise and
     Novell Dos 7.
