It ships with the client shells and Windows DLLs, which are the actual API.  
You can get to these from assembler using interrupt calls.  Various books, a 
la _Programmer's Guide to NetWare_ can show you what calls to make.

Novell also sells (as separate products) libraries for higher level languages, 
such as C.  These tend to be nicer and easier to use than the interrupts.

Even though Novell's got a majority of the market share Borland doesn't, in 
their base compiler, have library functions of direct NetWare API calls.

Alternatively, if you are programming for Microsoft Windows (based on the 
newsgroups you've sent your message to) you can use the Windows network API 
call:

DWORD WNetGetUser(lpszLocalName, lpszUserName, lpcchBuffer)

which has the added benefit of working on all networks, not just Novell's.

Sorry, no.
