The DOS library is for Novell's LAN WorkPlace for DOS stack. No one has
submitted patches to provide support for any other stack.
The Windows DLL works with winsock. It has been tested with an number of
stacks.

The krbv4win.dll also requires the wshelper.dll. It can be found on

We've been using it at production level for about 1.5 years. There are
several hundered users at MIT using it every day. Brown University has also
been using it in production for almost this long. Other sites that are using
it are UMich and Cornell. I don't think they have been distributing it
widely yet. Their applications are being written to authman.dll and
kclient.dll which call krbv4win.dll in turn.
The Kerberized version of Qualcomm's Eudora for Windows uses the
kclient.dll. This is expected to be released to product in the very near
future.
