/******************************************************
* dg_read - read a datagram over the network
* Parameters:
* number (in) - your name table address number
* from (out) - name of user sending datagram
* buffer (in) - location to put received data
* length (in) - maximum number of bytes to receive
* Global: net_error - used to store NetBIOS return
* code for error processing.
* Returns: Number of bytes received for success,
* -1 for failure
* Notes: Number is the value returned from a successful
* init_netbios(). This code assumes that you are
* using a memory model which will result in
* buffer being a far pointer. From must point to
* a block of memory at least 16 bytes long.
* History: Original code by William H. Roetzheim, 1990

    Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

    This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

    But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
