- Brad,
- Well, I don't think that you can legally include the call to btrv
- without a license. Novell includes a compiler/language specific
- routine for most combinations with the developer license. In fact,
- that routine is nothing more that a 50 lines or so of interupt and
- register manipulation. All Btrieve calls go thru that interrupt
- routine (which you just compile and link in with your application).
-
- When you say you have the NLM kit what do you mean? Now that I start
- to think about it, I seem to remember that my Netware 2.11 came with a
- Btrieve license and disks with various interfaces so maybe you can legally
- use it. Check your Netware disks.
-
- Windows is only a little bit different. I don't have that development kit,
- but imagine that the call is the same, but goes thru a DLL instead of the
- interrupt routine.
-
- Hope this helps, let me know if you need more info, Julian Humphries
