Your best bet would be to port LDAP to run over some API provided by
LAN Workplace under DOS. I am pretty sure Novell provides a BSD
socket-like API, which should make such a port easy. The LDAP code has
been compiled in the past to run over the NCSA Telnet TCP/IP code and
over Sun's PC-NFS (both under DOS). We would be happy to incorporate
any changes needed to support Lan Workplace into a future U-M LDAP
release.
