/*********************************************************
* dg_write - write a datagram over the network
* Parameters:
* number (in) - your name table address number
* destination (in) - destination name (1-15 characters)
* buffer (in) - data to be transmitted
* length (in) - number of bytes to transmit
* Global: net_error - global integer used to return net
* error codes. net_error is set to
* zero for normal return
* Returns: Number of bytes transmitted for success.
* -1 for failure. In the event of failure, the
* global variable net_error is set to the NetBIOS
* return code for error processing.
* Notes: Destination must have already executed an
* NCB_RECEIVE_DATAGRAM command. 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.
* 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/
