DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This Delphi 1.x source shows how to send or retrieve IPX packets via NWIPXSPX.DLL

Used APIs: IPXCloseSocket IPXGetInternetworkAddress IPXGetLocalTarget IPXInitialize IPXListenForPacket IPXOpenSocket IPXRelinquishControl IPXSendPacket IPXSPXDeinit

The source illustrates the use of the import library NWIPXSPX.PAS and has been developed for and tested with Borland Delphi v1.x - it will not work with 32 bit Delphi v2.x since NWIPXSPX.DLL is 16 bit, only.

To run the program, start it on two machines on the same network segment. While one station sends packets as the 'Send' button is pressed, the other station waits to receive packets if the 'Wait for packets' button is pressed.
