- NetWare for SAA - LUx for DOS
- =============================
-
- NetWare for SAA includes LUx API support for DOS.
-
- The LUx API provides SNA communications for secondary dependent
- logical units using the LU 0, LU 1, LU 2, and LU 3 protocols.
-

- Files Description
- ----- -----------
- SYSTEM\NWSAA\LUX\DOS\CCSLOAD.EXE LUx loader
- SYSTEM\NWSAA\LUX\DOS\LOADBASE.EXE LUx loader TSR
- SYSTEM\NWSAA\LUX\DOS\LUX.EXE LUx API TSR
-
- SYSTEM\NWSAA\LUX\DOS\LUX.LIB LUx API Library (linked with
- application)
-
-
- The EXEs provide LUx services to LUx applications. They work together
- at the DOS Client to communicate with a host system.
-
- The LUX library is used by the application developer to build LUx
- applications. It is not required at the DOS Client to run the
- application.
-
-
- Running LUx
- -----------
- Prior to running an LUx DOS application, the LUX TSR may be loaded
- via "CCSLOAD LUX". Alternately, the application may be allowed to
- load the TSR. In either case, LUx dynamically links to the code
- in the TSR when the application makes the initial load request.
-
- The LUx TSR may be unloaded following the completion of LUx
- applications via "CCSLOAD /U LUX".
-
-
- Developing LUx Applications
- ---------------------------
- An LUx application is linked with the Novell LUX.LIB when the
- application is developed.
-
- The LUx Library provides the following LUx entry points:
-
- SETUP_NWSAA - Setup APIs for loading, linking, and unloading software
- SVC_NWSAA - Service APIs for Initializing and Terminating NetWare
- for SAA LUx sessions, and for the Convert function.
- LUX_NWSAA - LUx APIs
- - Request-unit interface (RUI)
- - Session-level interface (SLI)
-
- Contact Novell, Inc. for more information on writing DOS LUx applications.
