W. Hook) Newsgroups: comp.sys.novell Subject: Programming Novell API Message-ID: <28326@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU> Date: 30 Apr 91 21:50:39 GMT Sender: news@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU Organization: UF CIS Dept. Lines: 21 PLEASE RESPOND VIA E-MAIL: I am an MS-DOS developer who writes programs at night while working a regular day job. As you can probably imagine, I don't have that much in the way of money. However, I am intersted in programming for the Novell API. What I would like to know is: 1. Will it work with Borland C++? 2. What will it cost me to get all the necessary Novell tools? 3. Do the tools/libs include .DLLs for Windows? 4. Will I have to reformat my hard drive? 5. Will Novell run ALL MS-DOS software (including protected mode apps)? 6. Can Novell apps be written on a single PC? The MAjor-BBS by Galacticomm Software can emulate channels on a single PC. 7. Does Novell have a developers assistance program? Ie. training, support, etc.? Please respond by e-mail, Brian
