I have recently installed a product called DOS/16M on a Novell Network, ELS Netware ND Level II V2.15 Rev.C. DOS/16M breaks the 640k barrier by using protected mode to expand the memory limit of DOS programs. Now the problem, our software uses a few of the function calls provided by the Netware C interface for DOS, however, the function calls (ie. GetConnectionNumber) seem to use an interrupt not allowed in protected mode and I end up with a General Protection Acception. Does anyone have any experience with using the C interface in protected mode? So far the only advise I've gotten was to track down the error (in the interface), fix the source code and regenerate the library. I understand it is also possible to go from protected to real mode, make the function call, the return to protected mode, however, because the communication between the workstation and the file server is asynchronis there may a timing problem when waiting for the response from the server and returning to protected mode. Is this correct? I would really appreciate any information on using this library in protected mode. Thanks, J. Jacomine
