- 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.
-
- 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 evaluation version contains a fully functional IPX control, the SPX
- control will not load in the design environment.
- 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.
