Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. NLM Software that runs in a NetWare server. Although NetWare servers store DOS and Windows applications, they do not execute them. All programs that run in a NetWare server must be compiled into the NLM format. They are typically written in C and use Novell's libraries. applications for NetWare using C, C++ and Java languages.
