=== {{anchor|Novell|1.1.0|1.1.1|1.1.2|1.1.3|1.1.4|2.0.0}}Novell (1993β1995) === [[Image:Novell UnixWare 2 clock.jpg|thumb|right|upright|UnixWare 2 promotional clock]] In 1994 Novell released UnixWare 1.1, which includes TCP/IP in both the personal and advanced server editions.<ref> {{Citation |url=http://www.cbronline.com/news/novell_releases_version_11_of_unixware_1 |title=NOVELL RELEASES VERSION 1.1 OF UNIXWARE |date=13 January 1994 |access-date=2008-10-31 |publisher=[[Computergram International]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218150704/http://www.cbronline.com/news/novell_releases_version_11_of_unixware_1 |archive-date=2010-02-18 }} </ref> The MOTIF 1.2 runtime libraries are included for [[Common Open Software Environment|COSE]] compliance. NUC (NetWare Unix Client) software is included for integration with Novell [[NetWare]] servers. The [[Merge (software)|Advanced Merge]] application is installed on both the server and personal editions to allow running [[DOS]] and [[Windows 3.1]] applications. Novell later released bug-fix versions 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and finally 1.1.4 on 19 June 1995.<ref> {{Citation |url=http://www.novell.com/news/press/archive/1995/06/pr00152.html |title=UnixWare 1.1.4 Electronic Update Release |date=19 June 1995 |access-date=31 October 2008 |publisher=Novell |journal=Press release }} </ref> UnixWare 2.0, based on the [[System V#SVR4.2MP|Unix System V release 4.2MP]] kernel, which added support for [[multiprocessing]], began shipping to [[Original equipment manufacturer|OEM]]s and developers in December 1994,<ref name=UnixWare2QnA> {{Citation |url=http://www.novell.com/news/press/archive/1995/03/pr00026.html |title=UnixWare 2 Product Announcement Questions& Answers |date=March 1995 |access-date=1 November 2008 |publisher=Novell |journal=Press release }} </ref> and to the consumer market in March 1995.<ref> {{Citation |url=http://www.novell.com/news/press/archive/1995/03/pr00003.html |title=Novell Showcases UnixWare 2 Solutions At Uniforum '95 |date=7 March 1995 |access-date=2008-10-31 |publisher=Novell |journal=Press release }} </ref> Both the personal and server editions support two processor systems, with the possibility of buying extra '''Processor Upgrade''' licenses for the server edition. Supported multiprocessor systems include standard [[Intel MP 1.1]] [[Symmetric Multiprocessor|SMP]] machines and [[Corollary C-bus]] systems. The system supports [[NetWare]] [[Open Data-Link Interface|ODI]] network drivers in an effort to increase the number of supported network interfaces. Other new features in the release include a [[POSIX Threads]] library in addition to the older [[Unix International|UI]] threads library.<ref name=UnixWare2QnA/> Before SCO licensed UnixWare in 1995, Novell had also announced a project to create a "[[SuperNOS]]" based on [[NetWare 4.1]] and UnixWare 2.0 technologies in the future. This never materialized. Instead, a NetWare 4.10 server on Linux was offered as [[Caldera NetWare for Linux]] for [[OpenLinux]] since 1998, and Novell's [[Open Enterprise Server]] finally came in 2005.
