These are a bunch of DOS tools I wrote during my first professional programming job at GST Software Products. They are all written in C and can be built with MSC 600 / Visual C++ 1.52. The source and binaries were originally shared via the CiX conferencing service back in the mid-1990s.
This is a GUI based peer-to-peer two-way chat utility that uses IPX. It shows you a list of users on the network to whom you can chat with, and then establishes a connection and uses a split screen view for the conversation.
This is a simple program that just lists the COM ports section of the BIOS Data Area.
A snippet showing how to write an ESR handler for IPX messages.
This is a User-Defined Gateway for PMail/WinPMail that converts emails in Internet format to PMail format. It takes two command line parameters, the email message file and the recipient's name and writes out the translated message to a folder specified in the config file.
This is the graphics library used by all my NetWare applications to give them the look and feel of the real DOS NetWare tools. It provides functions to create and manipulate windows, popup menus, message boxes and dialogs.
This is a GUI based version of the CAPTURE NetWare utility that allows you to set-up the printer port redirection to NetWare printers.
This is a GUI based version of the PCONSOLE NetWare utility that allows you to monitor NetWare printers and queues. It shows a summary screen with details about all the printers on the network. You can then select a printer and get more detailed information about the current job, such as a progress bar showing how much of the job has been completed.
A GUI based utility for sending messages to other users on a NetWare network. It shows you a list of all users and groups to whom you can send a message, then prompts you for the message to send.
This is a graphics library for manipulating the text modes of display adapters under DOS. It was to be a more general purpose graphics library than the NetWare version shown above, e.g. providing blitting and other features.
This library is unfinished.
A GUI based NetWare network scanner that finds all the computers on a network and allows you to query details about each one. It is based on Ralph Davis' NetworkMap function in his NetWare Programmers Guide.
