 Introduction

     The functions in this chapter provide access to the Netware broadcast
     message system.  With the utility SEND, Netware allows you to send
     messages between workstations.  The NNETSN() functions of CA-Clipper
     Tools make it possible to send messages from within a CA-Clipper
     application.

     Each Netware user knows the problem of getting a message during a
     running application: the application is usually interrupted when a
     message is received.  CA-Clipper Tools provide two possibilities to
     solve this problem: suppressing incoming messages with the NNETBRDCST()
     function (corresponding to the Novell utility CASTOFF) or using the
     CA-Clipper Tools broadcast system.  The broadcast system allows you to
     receive messages in the background and read the messages later from the
     broadcast buffer.
