[comp.sys.novell] C Programs on Novell 386

dakwala@acsu.buffalo.edu (Nikhil Dakwala) (02/06/91)

Hello there....

We are running Novell 386 with IBM PS/2's, model 50's and above. We
would like to develope C programs to run on the N/W, for various
purposes. I am experienced in C, but have never tried it on a LAN. Can
some more experienced soul guide me as to how to get started, and what
do I need to do to get my C routine running on the N/W???

For example, I want to write a C routine that will count the number of
times a user logs in, and the number of times that user prints on the
network printers. How do I approach these problem??? Thank You for
your attention.

try John T. McCann's NetWare Programmer's Guide, published by 
Business Systems Group (800-950-LANS).  you will also need a 
NetWare development kit from Novell that has a (not very well 
written, I understand) manual and a bunch of C function 
libraries.  I'm not sure what the current price for the kit is, 
but any Novell dealer should have it on the price list.
