#NT netBIOS stack/16-DLL
We are developing a Windows 3.1 (VB based) application which makes use of
NetBIOS/IPX. In order to show the strengths of NT we wish to demonstrate our
16 bit application on NT (via a Windows 16 bit subsystem). The problem we have
though is that, apparently due to the NT HAL and the architecture of NT
attempting to load ipx (from NT msdos prompt) returns with 'unable to detect
adapter card error'. This is not totally suprising, but is it possible for
16bit apps to make use of the NT netbios provisions? If this is so are there
any complications in calling the NetBIOS API from a 16bit DLL bearing in mind
that NT and 3.1 DLLs differ.
Thanks. Regards Martin (on Preets id)
