Novell NetWare was a family of network operating systems developed by Novell. The NOVS file extension is associated with a default file used by the NetWare Control Center.
This is a legacy system file for the NetWare environment. The associated software is listed for Microsoft MS-DOS, and the file is intended to be handled by NetWare rather than edited as ordinary text.
Open a .novs file in the Novell NetWare environment that uses it. On Microsoft MS-DOS, let the NetWare Control Center access the file in its original location rather than opening it with a general-purpose editor.
A .novs file is a NetWare system file, not a document or a general-purpose interchange format. It therefore normally has no useful conversion to another file format.
If the file is needed, preserve it with the associated NetWare installation or archive. Do not rename it to force it into another format.
