  NetBIOS
       
          An {applications programming interface} (API) which activates
          {network} operations on {IBM PC} compatibles running under
          {Microsoft}'s {DOS}.  It is a set of network commands that the
          application program issues in order to transmit and receive
          data to another {host} on the network.  The commands are
          interpreted by a {network control program} or {network
          operating system} that is NetBIOS compatible.  See
          {NetBOLLIX}.
