>Does anyone know of a good book that talks about programming for LAN Manager?

Microsoft press has released two books about programming for LAN Manager.  They
are:

	Microsoft LAN Manager, A Programmer's Guide   ISBN 1-55615-166-7
	Microsoft LAN Manager Programmer's Reference  ISBN 1-55615-313-9

The "Guide" is a good introduction for programming with LAN Manager APIs, but
the API listings are a little convoluted.  The "Reference" is just that, a
straight forward list of API, conventions, and practices.

No help to give here, although I've been curious to try it.  I've heard tale
that there is some differences in the way MSC and Turbo C pass variables (at
the assemply language level).  This could cause some problems in the
parameter passing.

You know, Allistair Banks of Microsoft has followed the comp.os2.* groups and
has been able to shed some real light on the mysteries.  Maybe someone from
Microsoft should spend some time in this news group?
