History Of Turbo Pascal API's for Novell Netware
Written by Tony Covelli (c) 1991
Turbo Pascal API's for Novell Netware (TPAPI) started out as a library for my
personal use in May 1990. Since then there have been many rewrites as I grew
more proficient in the Turbo Pascal language.
This is my first real release of the library and is now object oriented (my
first attempt at OOP). It has been used with Netware versions 2.0a, 2.1x,
2.2 and Netware 386 v3.xx.
As many of you will know, certain Netware 286 functions are no longer
supported by Netware 386.
The library is modelled on Novell's 'C' Interface for DOS v1.2, therefore the
syntax of each method is nearly in all cases the same. This was to aid me
when I needed to convert a 'C' program to pascal and wanted to keep the syntax
exactly the same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0b - Released 4th December, 1991
* First real release of the library for Turbo Pascal 6.0.
* Certain limitations do exist :
You cannot use any method on a file server that has ENCRYPTED PASSWORDS set
to on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1 - Not released
* Added a complete new suite of API's - Queue services. The only difference
from Netware is that no file handles are returned, instead a FileOfByte
type is used.
* Added more API's throughout.
* Added AutoLogin function to NWMISC unit.
* Moved FileServerNameTable & ServerConnectionIDTable out of NetwareOBJ.
* Changed variable FileSize to SizeOfFile in certain units.
* Started the documentation in real anger.
* FileServerServices (NWFSSERV.TPU) - Possible bug in Netware
GetExtendedFileAttributes is meant to return the FileAttributes and a
result. When you call the function both the FileAttributes and the result
are the same
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2 - Not released
* Finally completed FileServer Services unit (NWFSSERV.TPU).
* Added several more examples which show how easy it is to replicate Novell
utilities.
* MapV3TrusteeRightsToV2 (NWDIR.TPU) fixed bug which gave incorrect info.
* Changed _NWMapWildPath (NETWARE.TPU) to a function.
* Moved all table pointers out of NetwareOBJ.
