     {Network Application Developer's Tool Kit

     If you develop software to run on a LANtastic network, or if you are a
     programmer writing customized software, the LANtastic Programmer's
     Interface contains all the tools essential to the job. 

     Packed on its software diskettes are assembly language and C routines
     that allow you to use the facilities of the LANtastic Network
     Operating System. 

     Among other functions, you can test for existence of NetBIOS, the
     redirector, server and the LANPUP message notification system. It
     enables you to control data flowing to printers with Interrupt 2A and
     Interrupt 21. DOS network functions allow you to determine the name
     assigned to a computer on the network and establish or cancel
     redirected drives and printers. The extensive list of LANtastic NOS
     system calls in the toolkit provides the methods for logging into or
     out of a server, change passwords, modify user accounts get and send
     messages, determine a printer's status and assemble a list of the
     network's shared resources, to name a few. 

     You can develop custom network applications and add specific network
     operations to improve efficiency.
