I am looking for an API call which will tell a VB3 16-bit program what the current Novell User name is.  I know how to do it by shelling a .bat file containing:

who am i > tempfile.tmp

but there must surely be a more elegant method.

Is there a Novell DLL which contains who am i?

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
