Novell has a "Client SDK" toolkit that they sell for OS/2.  My
former employer was a member of their Professional Developer program.  The
toolkit *is* available from Novell.  WARNING: they break existing library
code with new requesters and don't seem in any hurry to fix things.

I used to run around $295, if I remember correctly.

I coauthored a neat little Netware utility ... BMR.  It used Novell's
Client SDK.  It worked great with the v2.01 requester.  It fails miserably
with the v2.1 requester.  I wrote a small (20 line?) program that showed
thatr NWGetBroadcastMessage() was broken.  Novell "recreated"
this problem (I'm sure easily, given my code :).  That was March? April? 
They have yet to offer a fix or workaround.  That was March?  April?
