From: jlamb@npd.Novell.COM (Jason "Nematode" Lamb) Date: 18 Apr 91 01:12:33 GMT Novell publishes NetWare Application Notes which cover System Administration type stuff on a variety of subjects. These Application Notes are published monthly and are available from Novell for 5.00 US (10.00 International) for the reprints, and for 50.00 US (100.00 International) for a years subscription. You can order these by calling 1-800-UPDATE1. In the January 1991 issue I wrote an Application Note entitled NetWare and Microsoft Windows Integration and it covers most current issues (including most of what you outlined) regarding this subject. I'm looking for the answer(s) to a slightly different problem: writing network applications for Windows. Our application (an object-oriented database) has several processes on the "client" host, and several processes on the "server" host, which must talk to each other. On Unix systems we use the "socket" facilities. We have the NetWare 3.11 20-user kit promoted by your developer program, but I'm still not sure what we need to write Windows apps that use NetWare services. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. PS. I'm posting rather than mailing because I think this topic is of general interest, and because mail to a variety of permutations of your network address failed.

The best start for getting this information would be to contact both Novell developer's relations (for the server part of your questions) and Microsoft developer's group (for the client end). If you already have some developer stuff then you probably already have Novell DPD's phone numbers (800-729-4357, or 512-794-1795). And from reading your message you're really asking about network services access through Windows. Unfortunately it seems that if it exists, it will exist at both Novell and Microsoft. (seems ripe for finger pointing..) I would encourage you to ask your question through both Novell and Microsoft developer's groups. (I don't have any of the MS developer info handy, maybe someone else could help..) Jason -- ---- ---- Jason Lamb jlamb@Sed.Novell.COM ---- ----
