Split the Open Watcom assembly glue into separate IPX and NCP requester
modules.
Keep the IPX socket and far-memory helper entry points in ipx.asm and move the
INT 21h Net_Call plus Client32 requester entry points into ncpcall.asm. Split
the former kern.h declarations accordingly into ipx.h and ncpcall.h, and update
net.h and the Open Watcom build to use the new headers and object files.
This matches the current source layout where ncpcall.c owns the low-level NCP
transport helpers and ncpapi.c owns the ncpXX_YY_* protocol API wrappers.
No behavior change.
Finish the c32ncp.c/c32ncp.h to ncpapi.c/ncpapi.h rename.
Update the build files, include directives, dependency tracking, header guard,
README references and file-level comments to use the new ncpapi naming. This
matches the current split where ncpapi contains the ncpXX_YY_* protocol API
wrappers and ncpcall contains the lower-level requester/transport helpers.
No behavior change.
Rename the remaining Client32 transport helper symbols from Probe-style names
to request-style names.
These helpers are no longer only diagnostic probes; they are the low-level
requester paths used by the NCP API wrappers. Rename the raw5 helper to the
more general ncp_raw_request() name and update the MapVar/OpenRef helpers to
ncp_mapvar_request() and ncp_openref_request().
No behavior change.
Rename the remaining C32-prefixed transport helpers, probe helpers, types and
constants to protocol-oriented NCP names.
This removes implementation-oriented c32/C32 naming from the shared NCP API and
transport layer while keeping the current c32ncp.c/c32ncp.h file names until
the later ncpapi.c/ncpapi.h rename. The new names avoid conflicts by using
ncp_* helper names and NCP_* type/constant prefixes.
No behavior change.
Move the Client32/Raw5 transport helper routines from c32ncp.c into
ncpcall.c.
This keeps c32ncp.c focused on the ncpXX_YY_* protocol API wrappers in
preparation for the later ncpapi.c/ncpapi.h rename, while ncpcall.c owns the
lower-level requester and Client32 transport helpers.
No packet layout or NCP wrapper behavior is changed.
Move the existing ncpXX_YY_* protocol wrapper implementations from ncpcall.c
into c32ncp.c.
This makes c32ncp.c the staging file for the future ncpapi.c rename, while
ncpcall.c is kept for lower-level requester/transport helpers. No function
names or packet logic are changed.
No behavior change.
Add function-level comments to the low-level NCP wrapper functions in
ncpcall.c.
Document each wrapper's purpose, NCP function/subfunction, requester path and
return behavior. The descriptions are based on the existing implementation and
cross-checked against the MARS-NWE admin sources and Novell SDK/WebSDK
references.
No behavior change.
Rename the bindery access level wrapper from ncp17_46_get_bindery_access_level()
to ncp14_46_get_bindery_access_level().
The previous rename made the operation look like a normal NCP17 bindery wrapper,
but the historic implementation used the ncp_14_46 naming. Keep that protocol
reference visible while retaining the descriptive operation name.
No behavior change.
Rename the low-level NCP wrapper functions in ncpcall.c and net.h to include
both the NCP function/subfunction number and the operation they perform.
This keeps the numeric protocol reference visible for comparison with SDK
documentation and MARS-NWE logs, while making call sites easier to understand.
Update all callers to use the new names.
No behavior change.
Add GPL-2-or-later license headers to the DOS utility source files and
document the purpose and local dependencies of each C, header and assembler
file.
Preserve the original Martin Stover copyright attribution for the historic
MARS-NWE utility sources, including files that did not previously carry an
explicit header but are part of the original tool set. Add Mario Fetka as the
2026 copyright holder for the current maintenance work, and use Mario-only
headers for files without original Martin Stover ownership.
Also add a root-level COPYING file containing the GPL-2 license text.
