The .nwut file extension is associated with Novell NetWare, a network operating system that included tools for managing NetWare services from Microsoft MS-DOS.
This file is a support file used by one of the NetWare tools and contains data used by that tool. It is not intended to be opened or edited as a standalone document.
The format is a legacy NetWare file and is unlikely to be encountered in current software. It is mainly relevant when maintaining an older MS-DOS-based NetWare installation.
Open the file with the Novell NetWare tool that created or uses it, in the original MS-DOS NetWare environment. The file may not be meaningful when opened independently.
Because this is a legacy support format, modern Windows and Linux applications are unlikely to provide direct support. Do not edit it with a text editor unless the associated NetWare documentation specifically instructs you to do so.
The file is used by a NetWare tool rather than as a general document format, so conversion may not be applicable.
If the associated NetWare tool offers an export or backup function, use that function to create data in the format required by the target system. Otherwise, retain the file with the NetWare installation that uses it.
