└───────────────────────────────────────┘
This readme file documents those utilities in this collection which are
specifically aware of Novell NetWare (tm), and are designed to use its
features directly. This is at present the main thrust of my development,
so there are likely to be other such programs made freely available as
time passes.
As with the other programs in this collection, you are welcome to copy
and give away these tools, but please don't sell them.

│ Sethome.exe │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Usage: sethome <username> <directory>
Sethome adds a HOME_DIR property to the bindery entry of a user,
consisting of the fully expanded path to a user's home directory on
the file server. The full name is in the general form <VOL>:<PATH>
and can be any directory on the server. Using Sethome is a necessary
prelude to using HOME. Only SUPERVISOR-equivalent users can normally
create a HOME_DIR property, but once one exists, the user who owns it
can modify it.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Home.exe │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Usage: home [username] [/M]
Home looks at the bindery entry for the specified user, or for the
logged user if none is specified, searching for a HOME_DIR property,
as created by Sethome. If the property exists, Home changes to the
directory it names. If the user is logged to a network drive, the
directory is changed on that drive; if the user is logged to a local
drive, Home changes to the first Network drive and sets the directory
there. Note that the user might not have rights to another user's
home directory, at which point Home will issue an error message and
perform no change.
Home [username] /M changes to the logged or specified user's mail
directory. This can be useful for retrieving files from Pegasus Mail,
which works in the mail directory. No HOME_DIR property need exist
for Home /M to work, but the only users other than the owner with
rights in SYS:MAIL/DIR should normally be SUPERVISOR-equivalent
users.
About David's Utilities:
------------------------
These programs were all written using Turbo-C (version 1.5, 2.0
or Turbo C++) and varying (small) amounts of assembly language.
The NetWare-aware programs use functions from the Novell NetWare C
Interface Libraries.
If you encounter problems with these programs, or if you have
suggestions on ways to improve them, please contact:
