This is a beta test of four of the units in NetCraft. The commercial version
(available upon registration) will have most of the routines optimized in
external assembly language. During the beta test phase, I am including
the pascal source to aid the debugging process.
Please note that this beta version only includes three of the more commonly
used units. The full version includes several others, including:
NetLock - Implements all NetWare record locking functions
NetDisk - Disk services
NetMsg - NetWare messaging services (does not include SPX or IPX currently)
NetObj - Deals with Object, Properties, and passwords
The units that are included are:
NetCraft - Assorted useful APIs, including routines to deal with extended
file attributes, getting connection numbers, flagging files as
sharable and a host of others.
NetPrint - Printer services, including turning Novell's spooler on and off,
and setting NetWare's default LPT device. These routines are
similar to other code found in DL 4 (LIB 4) for Turbo Pascal
3 by other authors.
NetTTS - Routines related to Advanced NetWare's Transaction Tracking
System. Not all versions of NetWare implement TTS, so you
must have a version of Adv. NetWare that supports TTS.
NetServ - Routines related to the file server. Some of these routines
(like downing the server and disabling login) are for advanced
applications only, and should be used at your own risk unitl
further testing and documentation is completed. The unit is
included mainly for the GetServerDateTime routine.
I apologize for the lack of documentation and sample programs. I have
simply not had the time I need to get this project polished off. Many of these
routines are untested, and others need more testing. Due to popular demand,
I decided to go ahead and start the beta test process. As the other
above mentioned units are completed, this file will be updated.
One sample program NetTest.Pas is included. This file simply tests some of
the routines in the NetCraft, NetServ and NetTTS units. Please let me know
if it works, I have had problems with the GetServerDateTime procedure in the
past (but I believe it is fixed now).
Note that all units and sample programs currently have range AND stack
checking enabled. This is due to the fact that this is still a beta version.
The user accepts all responsibility for the use of these tools.
Because of the amount of time that went into coding these units, I am going to
be asking for a registration fee. Payment of the registration fee will
entitle you to the update to the assembly language optimized version of
NetCraft, as well as an update to version 5 of Turbo Pascal if and when it
becomes available. Registered users will also be entitled to telephone support
and EASYPLEX support. I will also answer questions of BPROGA S16.
You may not use these units in a commercial application without registering
them. You are certainly free to try before you buy! Payment of the
registration fee will help encourage the development of future tools.
For a very limited time, the registration fee will be $25. Upon formal
release of version 1.0, it will double. Those who register during the beta
period for $25 will also get a "surprise bonus" program. I will be setting
up a PO Box in the near future, but for now my address is:
