New to Xbase still using demo and would like to know if it is possible to
compile in xbase the Novlib Lib from Blinkinc into Xbase and if so what is
the process.   The best solution would be a more current Lib that can make
function calls to a Novell server for example what group a user is in as
well as what is the user name of the person signed on.

Thanks
I'm sure I will have other questions but I like what I see so far!

Have you looked in XbTools III?  It has various network functions...will 
they do what you need?

Novlib is 16 bits and Xbase++ is 32 bits. You can't mix them. Check out 
the function in XbpToolsIII. It should be in a directory ALASKA\XPTW32 
I'm not sure if that is included in the DEMO but it does come with all 
paid versions.

Don, were you involved with the Madison Clipper User Group.  I attended 
one of the meetings along time ago at the CUNA Mutual offices.

Stoughton for a while and then kinda died.

Hi,
There is also a 32 bit version of NovLib as a DLL if you need extra stuff 
than XbTools
Novell have also a public client API, and also in the winapi are some 
network functions that works also with Novell. So you have at least 4 ways 
to perform the migration.

Pablo Botella

I did and try that one a few years ago, if no major changes are applied to
Novlib32, you'd better scratch that possibility from your list.

Good to know it, but still there another 3 ways 
Regards,
Pablo

XBase Tools III did the trick....
