- this or JG>interface Forth with a Novell network. Any ideas?
-
- You can interface to a network on a msdos based PC just like you
- interface to the operating system, using software interrupts. The
- book "Running Lantastic" by Adrian J. King shows the interrupts &
- functions used by that network. A file containing the info is
- available on the rtiFacts BBS on in the ArtiSoft forum on
- CompuServe. AThe dos program SHARE handles the record and file
- locking. These interrupts are found in and DOS programmers
- manual.
-
- Many programs are usable on any standard network if you don't use
- and out of the ordinary interrupts.
-
- You can also run a, non-network-smart, standard program on any
- network just by using the redirected disk drive letter. I have
- two servers one is drive K: and the other is drive S:. I just use
- these letters instead of drive C:, which is their local
- designation. I also have two printers, one on each server, both
- are connected to lpt1, but are redirected on the network to
- appear as lpt1 and lpt2. ---
