IPX & SPX Custom Controls
For
Visual Basic 3.0
&
Windows 3.1
-----------------------------------
Version 2.02
June 14, 1993
This document covers important installation and configuration information.
This is a shareware distribution of IPX & SPX Custom Controls. IPX & SPX
Custom Controls are for use with Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++.
With these controls you may create applications that can communicate as
clients and/or servers on Novell NetWare networks. With the shareware
version of these controls, you cannot load the controls in the development
environment (VB.EXE).
Please READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 2.0x versions of IPX.VBX and SPX.VBX are deliberately incompatible
with the 1.x version of the controls. There were several nasty bugs
in the first controls which were resolved in this version. Please
replace any 1.x version of these controls with this version and double
check your properties in the development environment. Otherwise, you
may experience strange behavior, or GP Faults.
Version 2.00 has corrected several bugs, notably a GP Fault in allocating
memory for the ECBs. Another important feature is allowing multiple
instances of the controls.
Installation Directions
---------------------------------
Create a subdirectory on your hard drive and copy the zip file into it.
Unzip the files using the -d option to create the subdirectories for the
three example applications.
Copy IPX.SPX and SPX.VBX into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
The sample applications can then be run by double-clicking on the
executables in File Manager, or by using the File/Run option in Program
Manager.

Important Program Notes
***********************
The IPX.VBX and SPX.VBX require that the workstation be set up as a
NetWare client. This involves loading IPX.COM or IPXODI.COM before
starting Windows. The following lines should be included in the
SYSTEM.INI file to properly load network components for Windows.
[386Enh]
network=*vnetbios,vipx.386,vnetware.386
[boot]
network.drv=netware.drv
The example applications also require the NetWare requester (NETX or
VLM) be loaded before starting Windows. The applications make several
calls through the requester and NWCALLS.DLL to locate other users on
the network.
