05-2. Can I get files without FTP?

Try using the BITFTP-FTP/Email gateway. Just send e-mail containing HELP as the BODY (not a subject) to BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET. It will send more info to you.

Internet gateways are:

ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com
ftpmail@cs.uow.edu.au

If you are on Compuserve, type GO NETWIRE to get to Novell's forum. There are files on there for downloading. Also try the CD NSEpro, which is most of the Netwire forum put on CD.

05-8. What are some good books for Netware?

For Netware basics, there are tons. Bill Lawrence has a number of books that are easy to read but cover things with enough detail for a good understanding. I recommend the latest stuff from him. Look in your local bookstore's techie section. The Novell Press books are also good, but you tend to pay more for the name.

For programming:

Programmer's Guide to Netware -- (1990) Author: Charles G. Rose. Publisher: McGraw-Hill, Inc. The bible of Netware programming, dated since Novell has changed virtually every header file, but still the best. Covers 2.x and 3.x except for NLM programming. Lots of good source code.

Netware Programmer's Guide -- (1990) Author: John T. McCann. Publisher: M&T Books. Another dated but classic book with lots of good source for learning.

Novell 4.0 NLM Programming -- (1993) Authors: Michael Day, Michael Koontz, Daniel Marshall. Publisher: Sybex, Inc. Not as complete as I would like, but I'm picky. Still a classic. Although the title implies 4.x, most of it still works for 3.x, too. And if you can't get the kids to sleep, try reading them the tons of useful source code. Jeez, you may have to leave the closet light on, though...
