; README.TXT -- Directory of files for IPXLIB version 0.20
; by Allen Brunson  06/01/94


Welcome to IPXLIB, a library for IPX communications, the native protocol of
Novell's NetWare.  It is suggested that you first read NETWORK.TXT, an
introduction to NetWare and IPX concepts as seen from a programmer's
perspective.  Then check out IPXLIB.TXT, the main documentation for the
library.  Finally, have a look at IPXTEST.TXT, an explanation and overview
of the IPXLIB demo program, IPXTEST.

IPXLIB is currently in beta.  It will be finished in about two weeks.  I
expect to sell the finished version for $50.00; the assembler source code
will be available for $200.00.  I will give free copies of the finished
program to four or five beta testers who provide thoughtful, useful feedback,
bug reports, and so on.  Tech support will be provided by me, the author, on
CIS, or via "snail mail."  Sorry, but phone calls are simply out of the
question; it's too expensive for me to call people back (I'm seldom home at
decent hours) and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Please direct comments to my new CIS ID, 74464,3472, or leave a message in
the Game Design section of the Gamers' Forum.  At this writing I'm sometimes
using a different CIS ID than the one above, because my new one is currently
"subject to some restrictions," to use CIS's terminology, and until they send
me my "real" password, the account is unusable for anything but e-mail.
