**** This specialized deamon exist for novell servers and novell clients as
rpl.nlm and rpl.com.
Second com code work with lsl and odi driver and that is small code but on
linux not found builder for this.
I have disassembled asm when any specialist can work with this to create
this deamon.
This deamon will cooperate with mars and provide RPL boot over ipx.

***** You must use dosgen.exe for create net$dos.sys but it write special
data. For new dos-es and  bootrom you must after dosgen use rplfix. MARS
Provide only boot for old bootroms not RPL by doc.
