LANtastic Network Operating System Technical Reference Manual
=============================================================

Introduction
************

This manual is intended for programer who wish to make use of the
network services of the LANtastic Network Operating System (LANOS).
LANOS services described in this manual are for version 2.53 or above.
LANOS services fall into two catagories: Standard MS-DOS compatible
network functions and Extended network functions. Since LANOS runs on
any NETBIOS compatible LAN, NETBIOS functions are also available
although they are intrisic to the underlying NETBIOS implementation.

This manual assumes that the reader is familiar with 8088/8xx6 assembly
language and DOS system functions. Since the standard MS-DOS compatible
network functions are described in the DOS technical reference manual,
we will not go into great detail in this manual.

Throughout this manual references will be made to network paths. LANOS
network paths are fully compatibly with MS-DOS network paths. Network
paths are similar to file paths except that they reference files through
the network. The general syntax for network path is

\\server-name\path-name

where
server-nameis 1 to 15 character name of a network file server
path-nameis a DOS path on the server

For example,

\\MAIN-MACHINE\PROGS\DATA\FROG.TXT

refers to a file located on server MAIN-MACHINE. The path required to
access the file is PROGS\DATA\FROG.TXT. The directory PROGS is a shared
network directory and may not actually exist on the server. It may in
fact be an entire disk.


Error Codes
***********

All MS-DOS compatible system calls and all LANOS specific system calls
return error codes. The error code number is always returned in AX.
When an error occurs the carry flag (CY) is set. LANOS provides a
mechanism for expanding the error code number into a text string. The
following is a list of error codes which may be returned by LANOS:

56HInvalid username or password
57HInvalid parameter
58HNetwork data fault
59HFunction not supported on network
5AHRequired system component not installed

When you expand the error code into a text string the above question
marks are expanded to the name of the node you were refering to. To
expand an error code into a text string you will need to issue a
multiplex interrupt (2FH). The calling sequence is

INPUTAH5
AL0For installation check
#for error code (in pre DOS 4.00)
1 or 2for error code in DOS 4.00
BXinError code
OUTPUTFLAGSNC if error code converted to text
CY is error code can't be converted
ES:DIPointer to ASCIZ text buffer containing error text.
This is a read only text buffer and youmust not alter
the text in this buffer.

If the error code is RESERVED it is expanded to "General failure". The
maximum width for the question mark fields is 15 characters. The error
text is automatically adjusted so that extra spaces are not in the text
buffer. For example the error text

Network node ??????????????? is not listening

would be

Network node HOST is not listening

for node HOST.


Testing for the Existance of the Redirector and Server
******************************************************

You can issue a multiplex interrupt (2FH) to determine if the
redirector or server software is installed.

INPUTAXB800H
OUTPUTAL0If neither redirector or server installed
NZRedirector or server installed
BLContains bits indicating which software is installed
(both bits will be set when both software is running)
01000000bServer is installed
00001000bRedirector is installed


Determining Network Software Version
************************************

You can issue a multiplex interrupt to determine which version of the
network software is running.

INPUTAXB809H
OUTPUTAHMajor version number.
ALMinor version number.

NOTE:The version numbers are returned as decimal numbers. For
example, version 2.53 would be

AH2
AL53 decimal or 35 hex


The Alternate NETBIOS Interface
*******************************

The normal interface to the NETBIOS is via interrupt 5CH; the
alternate interrupt to the NETBIOS is via interrupt 2AH. The 2A
interface is provided by the LANtastic redirector. Some NETBIOS
programs do not use the standard 5C interface but rather the
alternate 2A interface.

The alternate interface (2A) was originally designed as a "higher" level
interface to network communications rather than the "low" level
interface (5C) provided by the NETBIOS. The 2A interface, however, does
not support any higher level functions than does the 5C interface and
therefore has not become a defacto standard as has the 5C interface.

The REDIR intercepts 2A interrupts and reformats them to 5C
interrupts, thereby providing a 2A interface to the NETBIOS. A list of
the 2A interface functions that are supported are described below.

2A interrupt functions are invoked by loading the AH or AX register
with a function code and then issuing a software interrupt 2A. For
example,

movah, 0; Installation check
int2AH; Call alternate NETBIOS interface

---------
FUNCTION:Installation check

DESCRIPTION:Checks to see if a 2A interface is installed.

INPUTS:AH in0

OUTPUTS:AH out0 if not installed
AHNZ if installed

---------
FUNCTION:Execute NETBIOS with no error retry

DESCRITION:Executes a NETBIOS command (similar to 5C interface).
The NETBIOS command may be optionaly retried on certain
error conditions.

INPUTS:AX01xxH or 0401H to execute NETBIOS with
no error retry
0400H to execute NETBIOS with error retry.
Error codes that are automatically retried are
No sessions resources (09H)
No listen (12H)
Interface busy (21H)
ES:BX Pointer to NCB

OUTPUTS:ALNETBIOS error code
AH0 if no error
1 if error

---------
FUNCTION: Get resource information

DESCRITION:Return NETBIOS resources which are available for use.

INPUTS:AH5

OUTPUTS:BXAvailable names (16 - names in use)
CXAvailable NCBs (free NCBs)
DXAvailable sessions (max sessions -
pending sessions)


Controlling redirected printer streams
**************************************

You can control how output is sent to redirected printers in three ways:

1. You can set a "combine" mode which does not separate multiple
print jobs when programs terminate or when the printer is
opened or closed.
2. You can set a "separate" mode which seperates print jobs when
a program terminates or when the printer is opened and closed.
3. You can "flush" redirected output, thereby forcing the printer
to begin printing.

The above three functions may be performed using the NET LPT COMBINE
NET LPT SEPARATE and NET LPT FLUSH commands. Often these commands need
to be performed within programs. Two software interfaces are provided to
allow you to control these functions. These interfaces consist of 2AH
interrupt interface and a standard 21H system call interrupt interface.

NOTE: The DOS COMMAND.COM program always sets redirected printer
separate mode when it prompts for command input and therfore
these interrupts are ineffective accross multiple program
invocations performed through COMMAND.COM. The only exception
to this is inside batch files, since COMMAND.COM does not prompt
for command input.

2AH interrupt interface
-----------------------

FUNCTION:Set spooled output to combine mode

DESCRIPTION:All printer output is combined into 1 print job regardless
of the printer being opened or closed or programs
terminating.

INPUTS:AX0601H

OUTPUTS:none

---------
FUNCTION: Set spooled output in speparate mode

DESCRIPTION:Printer output is not combined when multiple programs are
run or when the printer is opened or closed. This command
implicitly starts a new print job.

INPUTS:AX0602H

OUTPUTS:none

---------
FUNCTION:Flush printer output

DESCRIPTION:Printer output is flushed and a new print job is started.
If no output exists to be flush then this function has no
effect.

INPUTS:AX0603H

OUTPUTS:none


21H Interrupt interface
-----------------------

FUNCTION:Return redirected printer mode

DESCRIPTION:The current printer mode (either printer output
combined or printer output separated) is returned.

INPUTS:AX5D07H

OUTPUTS:DL0 Redirected output is being combined
1 Redirected output is being separated

---------
FUNCTION:Set redirected printer mode (either printer output

DESCRIPTION:The current printer mode (either printer output
combined or printer output seprated) can be set.

INPUTS:AX5D08H
DL0 Set redirected output to be combined
1 Set redirected output to be separated. This
command implicitly starts a new print job.
OUTPUTS:none

---------
FUNCTION:Flush printer output

DESCRIPTION:Printer output is flushed and a new print job is started.
If no output exists to be flush then this function has no
effect.

INPUTS:AX5D09H

OUTPUTS:none


MS-DOS Compatible Network Functions
***********************************

All MS-DOS network system call functions with the exception of GET and
SET printer setup string (5E02 and 5E03) are fully supported. The
reason that these functions are not fully supported is that printer
setup strings are set by the system administrator and are stored on
the server. The printer setup strings are only changeable using the
NET_MGR program.

A quick reference list of the MS-DOS compatible network functions is
provided at the end this manual. The following network functions are in
numerical order.

5E00HGet Machine Name
------------------------

INPUTAX5E00H
DS:DXPointer to 16 byte buffer where ASCIZ machine name is
returned

OUTPUTFLAGSNC If no error
CY If error occured
AXError code if error
CLNETBIOS name number of machine name.
CH0 If machine name is not set
Not zero if machine name has been set
DS:DXASCIZ machine name

Get Machine Name returns the name which your computer is known by on
the network. This name is specified when you run the redirector. You
may use the name and NETBIOS name number returned by this function to
perform NETBIOS commands. You must not use any other names added by
LANOS.


5E02H Set Printer Setup
-----------------------

INPUTAX5E02H
BXRedirection list index.
CXSetup string size
DS:SIPointer to printer setup string

OUTPUTFLAGSNC If no error
CY If error occured
AXError code if error

Set printer setup sets a setup string to be sent to the network printer
whenever a file is queued to the printer.

NOTE: LANOS does not process this request since printer setup strings
are controlled by the system administer using the NET_MGR program.
The system call DOES NOT return an error, however.


5E03H Get Printer Setup
-----------------------

INPUTAX5E03H
BXRedirection entry index.
ES:DIPointer to area to contain setup string

OUTPUTFLAGSNC If no error
CY If error occured
AXError code if error
CXLength of setup string.

Get setup string will return the setup string set with 5E02H (Set
Printer Setup) above.

NOTE: LANOS does not process this request since printer setup strings
are controlled by the system administer using the NET_MGR program.
The system call DOES NOT return an error, however, and the length
of the setup string (CX) is 0.


5F02H Get Redirected Device Entry
---------------------------------

INPUTAX5F02H
BXRedirection entry index. Index 0 specifies the first entry.
DS:SIPointer to 16 byte area which will receive the ASCIZ device
name which the redirection index corresponds with.
ES:DIPointer to 128 byte area which will receive the ASCIZ
network path that the redirected device refers to.

OUTPUTFLAGSNC If no error
CY If error occured
AXError code if error
BLType of device
3 Printer device
4 Disk device
BHDevice status
Bit 0=0 If device is valid
0=1 If device is not valid
Bits 1-7 reserved
CXValue stored by 5F03 call. Should be 0 for compatiblity with
LANOS.
DXMay be destroyed
BPMay be destroyed
DS:SIFilled ASCIZ device name
ES:DIFilled ASCIZ network path

Get Redirected Device Entry returns information about a single
redirected device (see 5F03 Redirect Device). This function may be
used to scan the list of redirected devices.


5F03 Redirect device
--------------------

INPUTAX5F03H
AXError code if error
BLType of device
3 Printer device
4 Disk device
CXValue to store with redirected device. Set this to 0
for compatiblity with LANOS.
DS:SIPointer to ASCIZ device name to redirect. For printer
device specify: PRN, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3
For disk devices specify A:, B:, C:, etc.
ES:DIPointer to network path to redirect the device to.

OUTPUTFLAGSNC If no error
CY If error occured
AXError code if error

Redirect device allows you to connect local devices to network paths.
For example you can connect your LPT1 to a printer on another node.
References to LPT1 are routed to the network.


5F04 Cancel Device Redirection
------------------------------

INPUTAX5F04
DS:SIPointer to device name to cancel redirection for.

OUTPUTFLAGSNC If no error
CY If error occured
AXError code if error

Cancel device redirection allows you to remove a device redirection so
that the device is restored to its former state.
