SUMMARY
LAN Manager applications should be linked with libraries that contain
the LAN Manager API functions. These functions reside in static-link
or dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The type of link library used
depends on the operating system used by the application (MS-DOS,
Microsoft Windows version 3.0, or Microsoft OS/2 version 1.1, 1.2, or
1.3).
LAN Manager operates in similar ways with OS/2, MS-DOS, and Windows,
although the operating system allows more functionality when LAN
Manager operates with Microsoft OS/2. OS/2 supports multiple program
threads and all LAN Manager services; when installed with HPFS, OS/2
also supports long filenames. MS-DOS and Windows support only one
program thread, FAT "8.3" filenames, and the Messenger, Netpopup, and
Workstation services.
In systems with MS-DOS, the LAN Manager API functions reside in the
static-link library DOSLAN.LIB. MS-DOS applications are linked with
static-link libraries in one step at link time. Only one library is
needed.
In systems with OS/2 and Windows, the LAN Manager API functions reside
in the DLL file. More than one link library may be needed for these
operating-system platforms, depending on the platform and the LAN
Manager API functions called by the application. The Print category
API functions reside in the PMSPL library; all other API functions
reside in the LAN library. The following is a list of the link
libraries:
Platform Import Library Dynamic-Link Library
-------- -------------- --------------------
MS OS/2 1.2+ LAN.LIB MAILSLOT.DLL, NETOEM.DLL
PMSPL.LIB PMSPL.DLL, NETAPI.DLL
MS OS/2 1.1 LAN.LIB MAILSLOT.DLL, NETOEM.DLL
NETSPOOL.LIB NETSPOOL.DLL, NETAPI.DLL
Windows 3.0 LAN.LIB NETAPI.DLL
PMSPL.LIB PMSPL.DLL
MS-DOS DOSLAN.LIB
Note: Microsoft OS/2 and Windows do not use the same PMSPL and LAN files.
