Sending Network Broadcast message from Delphi.

Hello,

I am creating a mail server monitoring program in Delphi.

I have now decided that I require to send Novell broadcast messages over the newwork when certain conditions are met.
However last time I done this sort of thing, there was that lovely file called "Send.exe".

Does anyone know of a way I can send a message from delphi, or does anyone know of anywhere where I can obtain an old copy of the "send.exe" file as I am now working for a different employer who does not have an old copy of the client.

Many Thanks.

Paul.

This thing is pretty dreadful, but it works...

Nowadays, the "send.exe" function is built into the Client32 product (although I am loath to tell any of my users about it.) With it, you can send targeted messages as well as "broadcast" by selecting all users attached to a server. You can check out that function (if you have Client32 installed) by right-clicking the red N in the tray, selecting "NetWare Utilities", then "Send Message", then "To users". I don't know what piece of the Novell Client32 does it, but it might be available in the NDK.
