OK, After giving up on already compiler .lib files for the Novell API, because of bugs etc, I decided to use the source and refernec/compile it on the fly. Unfortunately the routine LoginToFileServer() isn't present on my copy of the API's. Not even on the originals that i spent time looking for. The disk says Library Source Code Ver. 1.10 Diskette 2 of 10. There is only 1 disk that has the source on it, the rest are compiled .lib files and it is a 1.2 meg format with about 500k free. Any ideas anyone? PS. Does anybody know if I can upgrade for minimal $$ to 1.2 My local supplier doesn't and I can't get them on the phone at the moment to ask about the obvious bugs. -- ============================================================================== | Hamish Marson <h.marson@waikato.ac.nz> | | Computer Support Person, Computer Science Department | | University of Waikato | |Disclaimer: Anything said in this message is the personal opinion of the | | finger hitting the keyboard & doesn't represent my employers | | opinion in any way.

The code for LoginToFileServer is not included because it contains "secret" password encryption code, according to Novell Technical Support. Don't waste your money upgrading to v1.2; I've got it, and it's pretty poor. _emt

The file server does it. Even the Netware for DOS lists the Logintofileserver call. They could have just left out the encription part nd put a note in there. Instead its simply missing.
