(*
   I hope somebody finds the following code useful.
This code has been adapted from ALLSWAG.  It returns the Network
station number, user name and full name.  I have tested it with
Novell Netware 3.12 and WFW.

    At least I hope this will save some of you some time.  It took me
some time to figure out exactly how to get it done.  (Now it appears
clearer :))

Even if you don't understand the details, you can still use the
functions.  For the sake of those like me, who are new to the
language:  You can copy the code in between the dotted lines and put
it in a file and use it as a unit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Here is a function to get the login date and time from Netware.
The function returns the result in TDateTime format, which can be
formatted with any of the built-in routines.
e.g.
DateString := FormatDateTime('"I  logged in on" dddd, mmmm d, yyyy, ' +
'"at" hh:mm AM/PM', GetLoginTime(stationnumber)); 
 returns the login date and time for the current user. ( It uses the 
StationNumber function that I posted yesterday).
   You can find out the login date and time for any station, provided 
you _know_ the station number.  The results of the function when 
supplied a non-existant station number is unpredictable!!
   Again, this function has been adapted from material found in the 
ALLSWAG.ZIP file.

  Hope this helps someone.

Enjoy,
Sajan.
