NetWare Interface for Visual Basic (NIVB)
Version 1.0
Copyright 1993, Novell, Inc.

NIVB is based on the NetWare C Interface for Windows Software Development
Kit (SDK), version 1.3 of the NetWare DLLs.  The DLLs can be downloaded from
Compuserve's NOVFILES forum (WINUP7.ZIP).  They are also included with an
example program (NWTEST.ZIP) that illustrates how to use NIVB.  NWTEST can
be downloaded from NOVLIB.

NIVB supports all NetWare API functions except IPX/SPX.

The SDK is available through Novell's Professional Developer's Program 
(PDP).  For information on becoming a member of the PDP and obtaining 
Novell SDKs, call 1-800-RED-WORD (800-733-9673) or 512-794-1796.  The SDK 
includes documentation for the APIs in the Windows DLLs, so to program 
to NIVB, you will need the SDK.

NIVB is not supported through Novell's regular Technical Support
channels.  It is mostly untested, and therefore Novell makes no warranty
of its merchantability or fitness for any purpose.

NIVB was developed by Novell's Systems Research Department, publishers of
NetWare Application Notes.  An Application Note on NIVB will be published 
in the July '93 issue.  Also, look for an extensive example program (called
NWTEST) that illustrates how to use the interface.

Barring unforseen circumstances, Systems Research will (someday real
soon) publish a version of NIVB based on the NetWare 4.0 Client SDK, with 
support for NetWare 4.0 and NetWare Directory Services (NDS).

The Systems Research Department welcomes feedback and questions on NIVB.
