Help! I have come across a problem in the netware C interface (ithink its version 1.1) in that the section on Service Advertising Protocol appears to be completely up said creek without a brain! In the overview Chapter 12 it lists 4 functions SAPAdvertiseESR(),SAPWaitESR(), StartSAP(), StopSAP(). In the Netware C Interface - DOS manual Volume II it lists only 2 functions, neither of which are in the overview. They are AdvertiseService() and QueryServices(). The sap.h file in the includes lists a number of functions, none of which match with either of the manuals. So! What has happened here? The readme file on the disks lists only a few corrections for the Volumes I & II manuals, none for the overview, and they still don't agree in any sort of way. Has anybody used the SAP services under DOS in C? Can anyone help? I need it badly and fast! -- ============================================================================== | Hamish Marson <hamish@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.

Read Chapter 14 of "NetWare Programmer's Guide" by Ralph Davis, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-57014-9. He says that there are bugs in AdvertiseService() and QueryServices() and gives corrected listings. He never mentions the functions of the overview. I have not yet worked with SAP and cannot give you more detailed help. It was my experience in another area where Davis published bug fixes that his fixes were necessary but there were still additional bugs to be found.
