Hi there, I am totally new to Netware world. However, our client wanted us to inventory Netware server remotely. The data we need to collect might be something like CPU flags such as core numbers and hyperthread enabled. It seems that the APIs for server mannagement are not powerful enough for our requirement. I actually know that some console commands can provide much helpful information. Can any body tell me how I can read the output of those console command inside C code? Meanwhile, I also want to know if the cross-platform APIs of clib can be applied to both NLM and client allication(Windows EXE) for I failed to link the functions declared by the head files in clib\include\nlm folder while building application in Visual Studio. Thanks in advance, -Michael
