How to get the Novel Netware username from a PC

I need to know how to determin the Novel Netware Username on a PC where my app is running.
I know how to get it from the Registry using 95,98 and 2000 but Novel doesn't work the same (DLL problems).
(example code please)
??

Try this function using the API - the Declare statement is a single line:

Declare Function WNetGetUser Lib "mpr" Alias "WNetGetUserA" (ByVal lpName As String, ByVal lpusername
As String, lpnLength As Long) As Long

Function GetUser() As String
Dim ReturnCode As Integer
Dim UserName As String
Dim lp As String
Dim size As Long
GetUser = "Nonetwrk"
UserName = String$(255, 0)
size = Len(UserName)
ReturnCode = WNetGetUser&(lp, UserName, size)
If ReturnCode = 0 Then
While Asc(Mid$(UserName, size, 1)) = 0
size = size - 1
Wend
GetUser = left$(UserName, size)
End If
End Function

I think this just gives me the Windows Login Username.
I need the Novel Netware username.
