Key features and functionalities provided to the DOS client include:

• Core Services: Transparent access to remote file, print, and mail services, date and time synchronization, and inter-PC broadcast/receive messaging.
• Networking: Provides TCP/IP networking software and management utilities, supporting connections over Ethernet or Token Ring LANs, and wide-area network access via FTP and TELNET.
• Compatibility: Offers support for Microsoft LAN Manager V2.0, Microsoft Windows V3.0/3.00A, and PC DECwindows Motif environments.
• Utilities: Includes terminal emulators for host access, memory saving techniques, installation and configuration tools, and a BSD V4.3 compatible socket library for application development.

A PATHWORKS for DOS client license is a prerequisite for using this software. Version 1.1A is an update with bug fixes and added Token Ring support.
