Can anyone out there give me some information on how to obtain the
API set (Application Programmer Interface) for Microsoft's LAN Manager?
I need thorough documentation on the network system calls in order to
evaluate the hardships involved in porting a current large software
project to this platform. So far I have not been able to contact anyone
at Microsoft who could supply this information... (BTW, this would be
a port from Novell Netware SFT 2.15).
Thanks for any light you might be able to shed on this subject.

Well, if you wanted the NDIS spec, the *3Com* part number for that is 6406-00. But it doesn't seem that that's what you want. There's a really nice guy named Henry from Microsoft who's on the net -- he's a techie in that department -- but I can't remember his ID. I suggest you call Advanced Computing Enviroments in Cupertino, California, and ask them for the name of the guy who did the BOF session on TCP/IP and OS/2. That should be a start. Good luck!

Any lan manager OEM should be able to supply you with a set of API manuals that detail the api available. What hardware are you going to move to? I'd suggest that you call the manufacturer of that hardware and aquire the manuals from them. In other words, if you're moving to a 3com-based network, I'd call 3com and ask them about programmers reference manuals for their 3+open product. (It's an OEM version of lan manager) If you're interested in using the API microsoft university (206) 867-5500 has week-long classes on lan manager topics; one is an intro class, the other advanced. Suggest you consider the intro class. Microsoft Lan Manager Programming Environment. Bruce King / uunet!microsoft!bruceki

I found Henry's last name. He's Henry Sanders at Microsoft, and he should be able to help you get API information. Try henrysa@microsoft.uucp.
