- Purpose
- -------
-
- MAPS - An addition to Novell's MAP program. It has one major
- reason for its existence: to map search drives to a specific
- drive letter. Novell's MAP does not allow you to do this.
-
-
- Command Syntax
- --------------
-
- To map a search drive to a specific letter, use the following
- syntax:
-
- MAPS [OPTIONS] S#:=DRIVE:[SERVER/]VOLUME:PATH
-
-
-
- PARAMETERS:
- S# - This is where the drive mapping is to appear
- in the path. S1 would be the first item, S2
- would be the second, and so on. Up to 16 search
- drives mapped to network volumes are allowed.
-
- DRIVE# - Specify the desired drive letter to which the
- drive should be mapped.
-
- VOLUME: - The name of the network volume used for the
- mapped drive.
-
- PATH - The directory on the specified VOLUME for the mapped
- drive.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- INS - Use this option to insert a search drive mapping,
- without replacing an existing mapping.
-
- ROOT - Use this option to map a drive to a fake root
- directory.
-
- SERVER - If the network VOLUME for the drive mapping in
- on a server other than the default server, specify
- the target server's name here. The user must be
- currently attached to the desired server.
-
-
- Example: MAPS INS S1:=W:APPSERV/SYS:APPS/WORDPERF
-
- This would map drive R: to directory APPS/WORDPERF on volume
- SYS on server APPSERV, inserting the mapping into the first
- position (rather than overwriting the mapping that may be
- in the first position).
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTES
- ---------------
-
- The ROOT option for MAPS requires the use of network shells
- version 3.00 or later.
-
- Using the Novell's MAP command to map a regular (non-search)
- drive and adding that drive to the DOS PATH does *NOT*
- accomplish the same thing that this program does. That's
- why I wrote it! There is an internal table that the network
- shell uses to keep track of network search drives. There is
- only room for 16 entries in this table. Since MAPS updates
- this table, drives mapped with MAPS will follow the same search
- rules as drives mapped with Novell's MAP command. Also, using
- this table allows the Novell LOGOUT command to remove the
- mappings from the DOS PATH.
-
- Be aware that to use this command in a login script, the
- command line must be prepended with an "#" to indicate
- that the command is external. Failure to do so will cause the
- login script interpreter to read the command line as an
- improperly syntaxed MAP command - no drive will be mapped.
