  In the past, writing NLMs for IntranetWare has required detailed knowledge of C or assembly. What HiTecSoft has done is create a much higher level abstraction of the NetWare C library making all the standard functions available to NetBasic programmers. NetBasic is a high-level scripting language that is very similar to Visual Basic. NetBasic gives a new section of the programming community the ability to write complex or custom server-based tools and utilities. Anyone who is familiar with Visual Basic will feel instantly at home with both the NetBasic language and the Windows-based Integrated Developer Environment (IDE). The language needs no explanation or introduction because generations of programmers cut their teeth on it before moving to other languages. And, just when everybody thought Basic was dead, along came Microsoft with Visual Basic, which has gained a place in many a programmers tool kit in recent years. external link
