2 Quick Questions.

1. Does anybody have some source for a VAP that they could send me. The C
interface manuals aren't exactly a mine of information on how to actually
implement a VAP, and I would like to write one to generate a file of server
load at regular intervals.

2. Has anybody ever used the Netware Diagnostics calls from the C Interface? I
keep getting Error 253 which is COULD_NOT_BEGIN_CONNECTION from the
BeginDiagnostics call. SPX Is Initialised, and is version 3.1, and I have 49
free and available SPX connections on the workstation being used. The second
time I call BeginDiagnostics, I get error 254, or COULD_NOT_OPEN_SOCKET. This
strikes me as a BAD BAD BAD piece of interface code, as it doesn't even seem to
follow the source code provided for the routines. (This is version 1.1 BTW). In
fact the source code won't even compile. Yet another wonderful piece of Novell
Software!. Is there anybody who could tell me what silly mistake (besides
trying to use the damn thing! 1/2 :)?

Thanks in advance
