Arguments:
Returns a list of all computers in the local area network. Each member of the returned list is itself a list of (1) the UNC remote network name of a computer, such as "\\\\beast", and (2) the "comment" for the machine, such as "Support PC (Win 95)". Each of these two values is always a string, where the null string will be returned for the comment when no comment has been set up for a machine. See also network-shares.
Here is a snippet of a typical returned value:
(("\\\\ADMIN" "")
("\\\\BEAST" "Samba 2.0.7")
...
("\\\\SOULCHEESE" "Masako's PC") ...)
Currently this function is in the Common Graphics module and package, and is implemented only on the Windows platform. It will probably be moved into the Windows module and package, or possibly elsewhere if it is implemented for Unix as well. This function is used by ask-user-for-new-or-existing-directory.
Implementation note: On Windows, this function returns information as provided by the function WNetEnumResource in the Windows Networking (WNet) area of the Windows API.
