I have what may sound like a trivial problem:

To get the Novell LOGIN name and user long name of the currently
logged in user into a VisualBasic program (obviously under
MS-Windows). So far, we set the user id and the user long name
in DOS environment variables as part of the system login script.
This is not a very satisfactory solutions.

I recently downloaded winup7.zip from ftp.novell.com and found
various DLLs in there which looked like having a useful content,
i.e. NWNETAPI.DLL and NWIPXSPX.DLL. Now using Microsofts EXEHDR
program I can easily find out the names of functions defined in
these DLLs, but I have no idea what they do and what the parameter
conventions are.

Can anyone out there help, or even better does someone have a
VisualBasic file with the declarations for these DLLs or at least
the relevant ones for my problem.

Thanks
