1.10 WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

The Windows 3.1 NetBIOS VxD expects memory allocated for the NetBIOS Control Block (NCB) and the data buffer (NCB.ncb_buffer) to be allocated with GlobalAlloc. The VxD will lock the specified memory page. If a Win32 application running under Win32s passes the Netbios command virtual memory, Netbios will return error 0x22, indicating that there are too many commands outstanding. On Win32s, each piece of memory that might pass through Netbios must be allocated with GlobalAlloc.
