win32netapi module -version 1.0beta1 (on Windows NT4/5)

[Asang Dani]

hi Mark,

  It really looks quite similar. I looked at your *win32net* module and
found that some of the interfaces are not present in your module, but
are part of *win32netapi* (my module).

1. NetLocalGroupDelMembers
2. NetWkstaUserEnum
3. NetWkstaGetInfo
4. NetWkstaSetInfo
5. NetWkstaTRansportAdd
6. NetWkstaTransportEnum
7. NetServerDiskEnum
8. NetGroupAddMembers
9. NetGroupDelMembers
10. NetShareCheck
11. NetUseAdd
12. NetUseDel
13. NetUseEnum
14. NetUseGetInfo

The only API that is present in *win32net* but not present in my
module  -

  NetMessageBufferSend.

Please correct me if I am wrong about these differences. About the
info. level param, I think that the info. level numbers in most of
these APIs are really crazy in base APIs. (101, 102, 1024, 512 ...). So
I return dictionaries with keys for maximum possible info level
(constranied by the privileges of user executing the API), in most of
the cases. It's upto the user to choose which key/values he is
interested in. I think it is better to free the programmer from the
burden of remembering which fielss are present in which info. level
and refer constantly to MSDN to find this info.

regards,
asang..
