- ; README.TXT -- Directory of files for IPXLIB version 0.20
- ; by Allen Brunson 06/01/94

-
- Welcome to IPXLIB, a library for IPX communications, the native protocol of
- Novell's NetWare. It is suggested that you first read NETWORK.TXT, an
- introduction to NetWare and IPX concepts as seen from a programmer's
- perspective. Then check out IPXLIB.TXT, the main documentation for the
- library. Finally, have a look at IPXTEST.TXT, an explanation and overview
- of the IPXLIB demo program, IPXTEST.
-
- IPXLIB is currently in beta. It will be finished in about two weeks. I
- expect to sell the finished version for $50.00; the assembler source code
- will be available for $200.00. I will give free copies of the finished
- program to four or five beta testers who provide thoughtful, useful feedback,
- bug reports, and so on. Tech support will be provided by me, the author, on
- CIS, or via "snail mail." Sorry, but phone calls are simply out of the
- question; it's too expensive for me to call people back (I'm seldom home at
- decent hours) and there just aren't enough hours in the day.
-
- Please direct comments to my new CIS ID, 74464,3472, or leave a message in
- the Game Design section of the Gamers' Forum. At this writing I'm sometimes
- using a different CIS ID than the one above, because my new one is currently
- "subject to some restrictions," to use CIS's terminology, and until they send
- me my "real" password, the account is unusable for anything but e-mail.
