Can someone give a clue as to how to set the semaphores on Advanced Netware 286 v2.15 so that I can place applications programs on the server and then limit the number of simultaneous application program users to the number of licenses we own? I can examine the semaphores with FCONSOLE but I can't find any references as to how to set them.

Obtain the developers kit to get the full Novell support, or get Scott McCann's book on Netware for programmers (M&T Books). There are several programs available that will limit the number of users using an applications program SITELOCK from Brightwork development is one. -- ****************************************************************************** * Ken Haynes, CNE | 1-900-PRO-HELP * Technical Support Product Manager, 900 Support * UUCP: {nosun, sequent, tessi} kenh@techbook

I know it can be found on Compuserve, probably on the net also. -- Rick Vandenberg Rick_Vandenberg@Mindlink.UUCP Vandenberg Systems Research

One on which I just recently received literature is called "Site Watch" or "Site Gard". I'll try to remember to post specifics on Monday. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick Rutledge {hoptoad|ucsfcca|claris}!wet!rick rick@wet.UUCP Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.

A caveat with Site Lock is that it does not work with OS/2 programs.
