Although the details are sketchy it seems someone is trying to use Lanman's API in a
Windows environment.

Q: Can the .LIB or .DLL libraries supplied with Lanman 1.1 be used under a Windows 
     environment?

I've tried using the NetWkstaSetUID function and Windows responds with a message
indicating that the application in not a Windows nor DOS application. Whats up?

The libraries are those supplied with 3COM's 3+OPEN.
Windows version is 3.0.
Compiling with MSC 6.0.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
