Hi Eric! > There is a DOS version of the Linux smbclient, a FTP style > Samba / "Windows network neighborhood" client...
Sorry, I can't find it. So far I only found the following links: A port of the SMB library by Richard Sharpe, GNU GPL: http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/misc/dossmb02.zip I read on Club DR-DOS Wiki about a DJGPP port of Mplayer which should have this feature: "Input: ftp dvdread(external) smb network" Unfortunately the site http://mik.mkw.ru/dos-stuff/ is down. Maybe this info from OpenAFS could be useful? http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/dev/user/amb/openafs/src/TechNotes-WIN9X ----snip------- The main program of the Win9x client, afsd.exe, is implemented as a 32-bit DOS program. It is compiled using the DJGPP compiler and runs in a Windows 9x DOS virtual machine. [...] The Windows AFS clients communicate with user applications using the SMB protocol, as described above. SMB communication is done using the Netbios interface. In Win32, there is a built-in function Netbios() which accomplishes this. In a DOS program, however, this function is unavailable. However, Netbios functionality is available in the BIOS by calling interrupt 0x5c. The NCB (Netbios Control Block) and data buffer must be in conventional DOS memory, i.e., below 1 MB. This memory can only be accessed in DJGPP by using the DOS memory access functions: dosmemget(), dosmemput(), _farpeekX() and _farpokeX().

Maybe the developers of WatTCP/Watt-32 could answer this. <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/watt-32/messages/2617?viscount=-30&l=1> There's also Trumpets freeware NTCPDRV kernel (no source). >> 2.

AFAIK DIS_PKT and DIS_PKT9 are already free (maybe the "binary must show modification message" restriction wouldn't be OK for Richard M. Stallman, but a fish is not as big as a Gnu ;-). -------snip from DIS_PKT9-------- ; DIS_PKT.ASM - Adapter provides Packet Driver v1.09 interface over ; NDIS. ; Version 1.07 18 May 1991 by Joe R.
