How to Identify a Bindery vs NDS login
Keywords:   bindery versus NDS
Question:
We have users who sometimes login in bindery mode, other times NDS to a Netware 4.11 server from Win95/Client32 PCs. Is there a Netware Extender function to determine what kind of login has occurred so a program can then use the appropriate (N3 or N4) functions?
Answer:
No function to do that.
Some people load both extenders, try an N4 function using ErrorMode(@off) (and turn ErrorMode(@cancel) back on IMMEDIATELY) and then if it fails (testing with the LastError Function) try the n3 version.
