Sorry I don't have all the info on it. I am writing a game application for NetBios and are using some of the routines that are in the book. It seems to work real well on a 3Com 3+Share and a LanManager network. I haven't tried it on a Novell system yet, but I believe there is a NetBios type of program for it too. Banyan also. The game is so I can learn programming in NetBIOS for other applications. Carl Schelin tcs@mailer.jhuapl.edu
