- IPX & SPX Custom Controls
- For
- Visual Basic 3.0
- &
- Windows 3.1
- -----------------------------------
- Version 2.01
- June 10, 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 2.00 version 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.
