Hi All,

I have to build a DAFS server/client for Windows 2000.
Can anybody please tell if Windows 2000 IFS kit provides support for
DAFS protocol. And any other related information.

Hoping to get a reply at the earliest.

Thanks and best regards,
Vibhuti

DAFS SDK could be used in the development of DAFS clients
and servers. http://www.dafscollaborative.org/tools/sdk.shtml
AFAIK, Windows 2000 IFS kit does not provide any support for
DAFS protocol.

Hi Niraj,

Thanks for your suggestion.
The SDK provided by DAFS Collobarative is available for linux and solaris,
not for win 2k. I find it strange but i am not able to locate any DAFS SDK
for win 2k.

Best regards,
Vibhuti

Hi Vibhuti,

The latest DAFS SDK (version 0.7) includes the capibility to compile
and run on Windows platforms. Specifically the documentation
(sdk/doc/sdk.doc) states the following on page 14:

7 Changes from previous versions

SDK 0.7 - released 2/28/2001

  • Added support for Windows NT with Visual Studio 6.0
  • Additional examples
  • Conform to DAFS_PROTOCOL_VERSION 105

It has been tested on Windows NT 4.0 using at least one VI Provider.

It has been compiled, but not fully tested on Windows 2000.
Specifically, to compile all you need to do is make sure PATH,
LIB, and INCLUDE have the dev studio stuff in them and type:

nmake.exe -f nMakefile

The build instructions for Windows NT appear earlier on page 14:

The DAFS SDK can be built under Windows NT Visual Studio 6.0,
using either nmake provided with Visual Studio, or make as
provided by MKS. To build using nmake, run nmake -f nMakefile
all from the sdk directory. To build using make, change the
PLATFORM variable to winvs in sdk/makefile.config and run make
all. On the windows platform it is necessary to specify the
target, either clean or all. Due to the fact that Visual
Studio’s nmake command is implemented to handle macros in
an incompatible manner with all other make commands, it was
necessary to provide special makefiles (nMakefile) for use by
nmake.

If you have further questions on the DAFS SDK please feel free to
direct them to the DAFS Collaborative’s discussion group for the
DAFS SDK, xxxxx@yahoogroups.com (formerly xxxxx@egroups.com).

Thanks,
Arthur Lent.
