You can figure out which functions exist by looking at the provided
source or doing a small test and see what the Linker says about
Undefines.

Read Chapter 14 of "NetWare Programmer's Guide" by Ralph Davis,
Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-57014-9.  He says that there are bugs
in AdvertiseService() and QueryServices() and gives corrected
listings.  He never mentions the functions of the overview.

I have not yet worked with SAP and cannot give you more detailed
help.  It was my experience in another area where Davis published
bug fixes that his fixes were necessary but there were still
additional bugs to be found.
