INFO: Windows NT Support for the MS-DOS LAN Manager APIs (110776)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q110776

SUMMARY

There is no list that shows specifically which MS-DOS LAN Manager APIs (application programming interfaces) are supported in a VDM (virtual DOS machine) on Windows NT. This article discusses what influenced whether or not an API would be implemented.

The set of APIs that is supported is relatively small. It was necessary to implement named pipes, mailslots, NetServerEnum(), and the NetUseXXX APIs. The APIs that are commonly used in shipping applications were implemented, if possible. There were certain APIs that were impossible to implement from the VDM. The remaining APIs were not added either because Microsoft did not feel that they were used in applications or because they did not make sense in this context, such as the NetServiceXXX APIs.
