Introduction

This unit is an interface to a comunication way used on some LAN systems called NetBios. As far as I know, the only system on which NetBios is not built in, is NOVEL, but there is a small utility that comes with Novel to give it the NetBios support.

So, why do I need to comunicate using netbios, if I can simply write to the remote's Disk ?? well, I asked myself the same question some time ago, and decided to try. I wrote a program the sent pages after a request was recived from a remote. the request was written to the host's ramdisk, and the reply was written there as well, and read by the remote. it took about 1 sec. for the screen to be transfered (It takes some time for the host to prepair the screen).
After I rewritten the program using this NetBios interface, I could send about 5 screens per sec !

I have used CBIS's Netbios text file documentation to learn about NetBios. I have included the COMPLETE package of CBIS's text file with no changes to the text. That text file is copyrighted by them , and is only added here to make it easier for you to find it. it is not a part of my work.

This Interface represents many hours of work, and of "why for god's sake does'nt it work ???" so if you decide to use this Interface in your programs, please send your contributions to me.
Anything more then 5 USD will do. Please note that if you send a cheque, then sending less then 10 USD will most likely cost me more then the cheque's value itself !
