  14. >>Yes, Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS provides a TCP/IP stack, a Windows DLL
  15. >>that you can use for your applications, and several other goodies; however,

  21. Two corrections to this one:
  22.  
  23.     1) You don't need to be on a LAN running Novell Netware,
  24.        although if you are running a LAN that isn't NOVELL
  25.        which must be run concurrently, you will probably
  26.        have to juggle a variety of Clarkson, NDIS and ODI
  27.        drivers with some driver that converts one to the other.
  28.        (Basically you are likely to need to get NDIS and ODI
  29.        running at the same time)
  30.  
  31.     2) WLIBSOCK.DLL isn't Windows Sockets conforming, however all
  32.        the entry points have a fairly logical behaviour which
  33.        is implied by their names.
