When running a db3 plus application on a Novell net, certain
considerations have to be made. First, you cannot install Access
on the server, contrary to the instructions in the manual.
Second, Config.db belongs at the workstation, in the same subdir
as Access. Within Config.db, you may have a command to set
exclusive off, this is either undocumented or else I missed it;
but it works. Also within config.db you may set a path command to
cause dbase to search other drives for your files. As you will
see in the batch file later on, I assign up to five network
drives as dbase subdirs.
My Config.db follows:
color = BG+,W/B,B
path=k:.;l:.;h:.;i:.;j:.;
bell=off
talk=off
exclusive=off
delimiter="[]"
delimiter=on
My users simply issue the command DBASE to begin the networked
version of dbase. The batch file(s) follow. I've use the &&
method of commenting, but of course you'll have to remove them.
DBASE.BAT
map h:=sys:db3plus\assets && PRG & FMT
map i:=sys:db3plus\asfiles && DBF & NDX
map j:=sys:db3plus\saywhat See note at the end if you use Saywhat
map k:=sys:db3plus\swaps && PRG & FMT
map l:=sys:db3plus\swfiles && DBF & NDX
echo x'255'x'255' terminate VIDPOP/ && actually entered via ALT key
j:vidpop && A tsr from Saywhat that POPS dbase screens
db3
DB3.BAT
echo off
if EXIST c:\db3plus\access.com GOTO found
goto notfnd
:found
if EXIST g:dba.ld1 goto process
echo You must include the following statements in your SETLOGIN
echo map g:=sys:db3plus
echo map s*:=g: (where * is your next available search number)
pause
goto done
:process
path c:\db3plus;z:.;y:.;x:.;w:.;v:.;u:.; && add more drive letters
c: && if needed.
cd\db3plus
access m=g:
goto done
:notfnd
echo Sorry, Access is not installed on this workstation
:done
exit && this closes the Desqview window, but is harmless otherwise
The trustee assignments for the group DBASE_USERS is:
SYS:DB3PLUS RWOC S
SYS:DB3PLUS\PGMS R O S
SYS:DB3PLUS\FILES RWOCD S
Note: If you use SAYWHAT.
The command to bring up a screen is:
?? CHR(255) + CHR(255) + "J:.\progname/" && don't forget to
&& put the "." after the J:
