               CXI Product Temporary Fix
         PTF 078 - HLLAPI Driver Test Program


This patch applies to:  PCOX/HLLAPI, all Versions

The following file NCDHLDRV.EXE is the Novell Communications Division PCOX
HLLAPI test driver.  NCDHLDRV.EXE can be utilized as a diagnostic tool when
using the PCOX/HLLAPI Application Program Interface.  The program is
designed to drive the function calls presented within HLLAPI, testing their
reliability and functionality.  For testing purposes, NCDHLDRV.EXE can be
used as a replacement for an application program.

To use the tool, NCDHLDRV.EXE, load the program after loading HLLAPI.  The
NCDHLDRV.EXE driver has a set of instructions when it is loaded.  The first
step to test the HLLAPI program, is to select a function.  Decide what
function you wish to issue, reference your HLLAPI manual for its
appropriate function call.  Enter the function call number in the
designated space and press enter. (An example would be Copy String:
Function Call 15.)  The next step prompts you for a Data String.  Enter the
string of characters appropriate for the function.  (For Copy String we
might type our sign-on and logmode command.)  The last command asked is
Setting the Start Position.  The start position is the offset to the
presentation space.  These offsets begin at the upper left corner at
location 1 and end (for a model 2 screen) at the lower right at 1920.

By inputting the requested parameters, the driver will test the requested
function call.  By gaining a positive response to the tested function call,
the NCDHLDRV.EXE will display an appropriate Return Code.  The return code
values can then be referenced in the HLLAPI documentation.  By watching his
input and the return codes generated, the programmer can practice issuing
HLLAPI calls.  It also acts as an accurate test utility by testing the
integrity of the function call.  It also acts as an accurate test utility
by testing the integrity of the function call.
