Does anyone know of a good book that talks about programming for LAN Manager? It seems that I have libraries and header files on our server for what would appear to be Microsoft C compiler. We are using AT&T StarGROUP 3.3 (3.4 soon) and I have seen a reference to Microsoft C. Can these libraries be used with Turbo C++? Where can I find information on what each routine does and what is passed to it? Thanks in advance Rob Miracle "Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!" -- Buckaroo Bonzai

Microsoft press has released two books about programming for LAN Manager. They are: Microsoft LAN Manager, A Programmer's Guide ISBN 1-55615-166-7 Microsoft LAN Manager Programmer's Reference ISBN 1-55615-313-9 The "Guide" is a good introduction for programming with LAN Manager APIs, but the API listings are a little convoluted. The "Reference" is just that, a straight forward list of API, conventions, and practices. >Microsoft C. Can these libraries be used with Turbo C++? Where can I find No help to give here, although I've been curious to try it. I've heard tale that there is some differences in the way MSC and Turbo C pass variables (at the assemply language level). This could cause some problems in the parameter passing. You know, Allistair Banks of Microsoft has followed the comp.os2.* groups and has been able to shed some real light on the mysteries. Maybe someone from Microsoft should spend some time in this news group? ============================================================================= Delbert Matlock Internet: dmatlock@eecs.cs.pdx.edu MicroNet Northwest Voice: (503)228-3071

The libraries are just imports from a bunch of DLLs; if Turbo can call OS/2 entrypoints, it should have no trouble with Lanman. As I understand that Turbo will not emit Windows code, I suppose you'd need to use Zortech or Microsoft under that environment. | You know, Allistair Banks of Microsoft has followed the comp.os2.* groups and | has been able to shed some real light on the mysteries.

This brochure states that attendees can get 70% off LAN-Manager and associated development tools. Since I have missed these seminars... Are there any new incentives (i.e. discounts) for purchasing LAN-Manager 2.0 for network applications development. Thanks. --- Robert Thompson rdthomps@vela.acs.oakland.edu

Nothing special for the seminars, no. Our partners have sundry promotions going-- bundle deals with SQL Server, for example-- but these aren't tied specifically to the seminars or app development.
