Q: Can the .LIB or .DLL libraries supplied with Lanman 1.1 be used under a Windows environment? I've tried using the NetWkstaSetUID function and Windows responds with a message indicating that the application in not a Windows nor DOS application. Whats up? The libraries are those supplied with 3COM's 3+OPEN. Windows version is 3.0. Compiling with MSC 6.0. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Whats up? While I'm not familiar with the particular libs you're using, it sure sounds like you're trying to link to an OS/2 DLL. Unless 3Com did some value-add there, the answer under 1.1 is No, those libs and dlls cannot be used under Win; those dlls are for OS/2 only, while those libs are either OS/2 import libs or else pure DOS libs incompatible with Win. | | The libraries are those supplied with 3COM's 3+OPEN. | Windows version is 3.0. | Compiling with MSC 6.0. Lanman 1.1 predates Win 3.0. In order to write a Windows app which calls the Lanman APIs, you need to be using Lanman 2.0 or later. Lanman 2.0 includes proper Win DLL versions of its APIs.
