Remarks

NWOpenBindery is not supported on NetWare 4.x and above since 4.x and above supports only bindery emulation. Direct access of the bindery is not possible on NetWare 4.x and above.

The bindery files are normally kept open and locked. Calling NWOpenBindery is required only after calling the NWCloseBindery function.

Only SUPERVISOR or a bindery object with SUPERVISOR security equivalence can open the bindery.
