Specific files and WIN.INI settings are required when you use independent vendor Windows-based terminal emulators with SNA Server for Windows NT.

MORE INFORMATION

The following executable files should be located in the <snaroot> directory (where <snaroot> means the directory where your SNA Server for Windows NT client software is installed). Verify the <snaroot> directory is in the path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or put the files in a directory that is in the path.


   WNAP.EXE     - SNA Windows client.

   WPOPUP.EXE   - Displays popup messages if errors occur.

   SNAVER.EXE   - Displays the version of SNA Server client components
                  (optional).

   WSHOWMEM.EXE - Displays the internal memory tables and settings for
                  diagnostic purposes (optional).

The following dynamic-link library (DLL) files should be located in the <winroot>\system directory (where <winroot> means the directory where your Windows 3.x, or Windows for Workgroups 3.xx software is installed).

DLLs for a Novell Netware Network


   NWCLI.DLL    - SNA client interface for Netware.

   NWNETAPI.DLL - Netware Application Programming Interface (API).

   NWIPXSPX.DLL - Netware IPX/SPX interface.

DLLs for a LAN Manager or Windows for Workgroups Network


   LMCLI.DLL    - SNA client interface for LAN Manager/WFW.

Other DLLs


   WDMOD.DLL    - SNA client interface used by WNAP, SNA API's and
                  third-party vendors using the Emulator Interface
                  Specification (EIS).

   WLOGTR.DLL   - Required for logging and trace formatting.

   TOOLHELP.DLL - Used by WNAP to determine if an SNA Server client
                  application has ended.

   WINTRC.DLL   - For message tracing when debugging (optional).

   CTL3D.DLL    - For 3D support. Required by SNAVER.EXE and by SNA Server
                  for Windows NT 3270 and 5250 applets.

   YMGR.DLL     - Yield manager. Required for applications using the
                  DCA/Microsoft Communications Server APPC API.

DLLs for 5250 Terminal Emulation


   WINAPPC.DLL  - APPC API support for transaction verbs (see Chapter 4 of
                  the "APPC Programmer's Guide").

   WINCSV.DLL   - Common Service Verbs API support.

DLLs for SNA API Support

NOTE: Specific DLL files are required for SNA applications which use specific APIs.


   WINSLI.DLL   - LUA Session Level Interface API support.

   WINRUI.DLL   - LUA Request Unit Interface API support.

   WINCPIC.DLL  - CPI-C API support.

   WINMGT.DLL   - APPC Management Verb API support (see Chapter 3 of the
                  "PPC Programmers Guide").

You also need to verify that the following entries are in the [Wnap] section of the client's WIN.INI file:


   WBinPath=<snaroot>

   Remote= [ <Netware domain name> | <SNA Server computer name>]

      For a Netware network, this must be set to the domain name where the
      SNA Server for Windows NT computer is running.

-or-

For a LAN Manager or Windows for Workgroups network, this entry is optional unless the client is located in a different domain than the SNA Server for Windows NT server. If this is the case, it must be set to the SNA Server for Windows NT computer name.


   NosType= [ LANMAN | NETWARE ] (Type of Network)

   NosSetup= [ LANMAN | WFW | NETWARE ] (Type of client)

   NetSetup=NO

This is an example of a [Wnap] section of the WIN.INI file for Windows for Workgroups client on a LAN Manager network in the same domain as the SNA Server for Windows NT server:


   [Wnap]
   WBinPath=C:\SNA
   Remote=
   NosType=LANMAN
   NosSetup=WFW
   NetSetup=NO
