Devont Software's LANTools Version 1.0 May 3, 1991 ╒══════════════╕ │ Introduction │ ╘══════════════╛ As a Systems Administrator or one who creates networks for a living, you probably already know that the glue that holds these complex systems together is the little Batch files and utilities. Devont Software's LANTools is a collection of such utilities designed to make your life a little easier. ╒══════════════╕ │ Requirements │ ╘══════════════╛ Most of the functions in LANTools operate directly with the Novell Bindery information. Because of this integration with Netware, LANTools will not work on any other network type, or on stand-alone machines. Besides that small requirement, you should have the following resources available: √ IBM Personal Computer or Compatible. √ 256K RAM Free or more √ VGA, EGA, CGA, Mono, or Hercules Monitors are supported √ Novell Netware 2.1x and above, or ELS versions (versions below 2.1x may not support the printing functions) ╒══════════════════════════╕ │ Registration and Support │ ╘══════════════════════════╛ LANTools is not free software. If is not and will never be in the public domain. You are granted a limited license to test the program to see if it fits in your environment. If you use any of the utilities contained in this package after a 30 day trial period, you need to support our development efforts by sending a check or money order for $75.00 per site in US Funds to: Devont Software 85 Brandon Conroe, Texas 77302 BBS - (409) 273-3112 CIS: 70421,1506 Technical support and upgrades are available by calling our Technical Support Bulletin Board (BBS).

We take them all. You can call our tech support telephone number between the hours of 7pm and 10pm CST. We would like to hear from you. (409) 321-3220. Weekends from noon to 7pm CST. ╒═════════════╕ │ Conventions │ ╘═════════════╛ In the functional descriptions below, the following conventions are used: [option] Options enclosed in brackets are optional. /x= Lettered options are required parameters. FILESPEC Any file specification, such as *.EXE, z:\joe.txt FILE.EXT Any valid Filename, such as z:\public\joe.txt ╒═════════════════╕ │ LANTools Attach │ ╘═════════════════╛ Description: LANTools Attach is functionally equivalent to Netware's ATTACH command, with the major difference in that the interface is much prettier. Users can select a file server that is not already attached by using a bouncebar menu. Attach prompts the user for required information, and tells them whether the attachment was successful. Use: LANTools Attach [/q] Parameters /q Use "Quiet Mode." Do not clear the screen after the program has completed. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒══════════════════════════╕ │ LANTools Bulletin Master │ ╘══════════════════════════╛ Description: LANTools BBS allows the system administrator to set up ASCII text files, then display them to particular groups of users upon login, or from a menu item. Using this feature, you can notify your users of any events, procedures, or policies. If you specify multiple text files, BBS will display a bouncebar menu of available bulletins, and will allow the user to point and shoot the bulletins he wants to read. Use: BBS /f=FILESPEC [/g=GROUP,GROUP,GROUP] [/q] Example: LANTools BBS /f=z:*.bbs /g=ADMIN,TECH Parameters /f (Filespec - Required) Can be any filename, or group of files. You can add any fully qualified pathname, one filename, etc. /g (Groups - Optional) BBS will check to see that the user running the program is a member of this group (or several groups separated by a comma) if this optional parameter is used. If you do not specify a group, BBS will assume EVERYONE can read the bulletins specified. /q (Quiet Mode - optional): Do not display any message if no bulletin files are available. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 Text File When creating a text file for display in BBS, the Notes very first line can contain a title. To display the title when multiple text files are available, use the following format: ^^This is the Title^^ ..Rest of ASCII text file ╒══════════════════╕ │ LANTools Capture │ ╘══════════════════╛ Description: LANTools Capture is functionally equivalent to Netware's CAPTURE command. With LANTools Capture, you can redirect your LPT1-4's output to any defined network queue, or end a capture session, and return print operations to a local printer. Capture does all this with complete error checking and friendly interfacing. If you are attached to multiple servers (via Netware's ATTACH or LANTools' ATTACH command), you can press the <Spacebar> while viewing the Print Queue listing to change to the next server. You can then capture to a queue on another server. Use: LANTools Capture [/q] Parameters: /q (Quiet Mode - optional): Do not clear the screen when the program completes. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒════════════════════╕ │ LANTools CheckPass │ ╘════════════════════╛ Description: LANTools CheckPass is a simple utility that allows you to prompt the user for a password. If the correct password is entered, a DOS ERRORLEVEL of 1 is returned. Incorrect passwords return a DOS ERRORLEVEL of 0. Parameters: /p=Password (Required Parameter): This parameter tells CheckPass what the correct password is. Not case sensitive. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 - 4. /q (Quiet Mode - Optional): Do not clear the screen when the program completes. ╒═══════════════════╕ │ LANTools DefaultQ │ ╘═══════════════════╛ Description: LANTools Default-Q allows you to set up default print queues for each user, then automatically cature to that queue upon login or any other time. DefaultQ uses the same parameters as Novell's CAPTURE program to change the settings of the current Capture setting, but using the queue that the Supervisor or user has set up. The unique parameter to DefaultQ is /C. This parameter is used to configure DefaultQ. RETURNS If used as a CAPTURE command, DOS ERRORLEVEL of 0 is returned if the capture environment is not changed. Otherwise, ERRORLEVEL of 1 is returned. Use: LANTools DefaultQ [/c] [ /b=BannerTxt /nb /ff /nff /ti=n /a /f=n ... ] PARAMETERS /c Configure DefaultQ Other Parameters supported are the same as Novell's CAPTURE command, such as /b=BannerText, /nb, /ti=3, /nff (etc.) Why Use DefaultQ Let's say you are running a network with about 20 printers, and 50 users. If you would like to automatically run a CAPTURE statement on each user in the login process, you have roughly four choices: 1. Create a User Login Script and run the #CAPTURE statement. This is fine for smaller networks, but who wants to maintain all those user Login Scripts? It's usually a good idea to avoid using them if at all possible. 2. Allow the user to create his own personal print queue and defaults using the PRINTCON program. This is a good way to do it, but who wants to explain the inner workings of the Netware print services and/or print options to a legal secretary? You'd probably end up creating a bunch of them yourself, or copying the same definition from one user to the other, limiting the customizability, and in the end you'll have to edit all these over again someday when they move down the hall to a new office. 3. Create a Group the same name as the name of the print queue, then make all the users who need to print to that printer a member of this new group. You could then test for membership to the printer groups in the login script, and do some nifty branching. Well, again, if you have 20 printers, that's an extra 20 groups, and 20 different tests in the System Login script you'd have to make to see which group they are a member of....not to mention the chance for errors in putting all the right users in all the right places. 4. You could create a file, add all the UserIDs and their default print queue next to it, then write a simple program that looks at the file one entry at a time, reads the name, the print queue, and then does something fancy to actually call the CAPTURE routines in Netware. Big pain. Plus, you've then got a file to maintain. How Does DefaultQ Work? DefaultQ uses standard Netware services to write to the user data file, known as the Bindery. DefaultQ stores one vital peice of information next to the user account property: The default print name that either you or he set up. If DefaultQ has never been configured for a particular user, then nothing is written to that user account. After DefaultQ has been set up for a user, they can execute the DefaultQ command. The program picks up the name of the default print queue, any valid CAPTURE parameters entered along with the basic command, then again uses standard Netware services to create the CAPTURE environment. If DefultQ has not been set up for a user and it is run like a CAPTURE command, a DOS ERRORLEVEL 0 is returned, and the CAPTURE environment is not affected. ╒═══════════════════╕ │ LANTools IsMember │ ╘═══════════════════╛ Description: LANTools IsMember is a batch file enhancer. This utility allows you to determine if a user is a member of a particular group. LANTools IsMember returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL that you can test and perform conditional branching. Use: LANTools IsMember /g=GROUP1,GROUP2 Parameters: /g (Group(s) - Required) Specify the group (or groups separated with a comma) to check. /q (Quiet Mode - optional): Do not clear the screen when the program completes. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 Returns: ERRORLEVEL 1 = User is a member of at least one of the specified groups. ERRORLEVEL 0 = User is NOT a member of at least one of the specified group(s). ╒═══════════════╕ │ LANTools List │ ╘═══════════════╛ Description: LANTools List is a simple file viewer for ASCII text files. I'm sure you have seen programs like LIST, BROWSE, or maybe you have written your own. This program is a simple version of those, but in a form that even the most computer-illiterate users can use without getting overly confused. In addition, this program follows the other LANTools in the interface, giving your system a colorful, fluid feel. Use: LANTools List [/f=FILE.EXT] [/q] [/c=1-4] Parameters /f (FileName - Optional Parameter): any valid file name, such as Z:FRED.TXT. If the file does not exist, a message displays. Note also the text file to display is limited to 64K. If a filename is not specified, you are prompted to enter one. /q (Quiet Mode - optional): Do not clear the screen when the program finishes. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒═══════════════╕ │ LANTools Lock │ ╘═══════════════╛ Description: LANTools Lock allows you to lock your computer while you are away at lunch or away from your desk. You can display a brief message to those who come to your desk and look at your screen. Lock also comes with a screen blanker that will activate after a period of about 5 minutes. Pressing a key while the blanker is in effect restores the screen. Use: LANTools Lock [/m="Message Text"] [/p] [/q] Parameters: /m (Message Text - Optional) Message to display when your machine is locked. If this parameter is not specified, you will be prompted to enter this information. /p (Password - Optional) Password that will be used to unlock your keyboard. If you do not specify this parameter, you will be prompted to enter this information. Maximum password length is 8 characters. /q (Quiet Mode - Optional) do not clear the screen when the program has completed. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒═════════════════╕ │ LANTools Logout │ ╘═════════════════╛ Description: LANTools Logout is functionally equivalent to Netware's LOGOUT.EXE. The difference is in the interface. LANTools Logout allows you to prompt the user with a colorful message, then reboot (optionally) the machine when a specified time period, or press of the enter key has been performed. Use: LANTools LOGOUT [/m="MESSAGE TEXT"] [/w=n] [/r] [/q] Parameters /m (Message Text - Optional): Use this parameter if you would like to display a message to the user after he has logged out. Note that when specifying a message, you must use the " marks surrounding the message text. If you do not specify a message, a generic "You Have Been Logged Out" displays. You can place a carat (^) in your text to display two lines of text to the user. For instance: LANTools Logout /m="You Are logged out^Thank You!" You are limited to displaying two lines of text. Each line of text can contain up to 60 characters. /w (Wait time - Optional): Amount of time to wait before ending the program. If not specified, 0 is assumed, which means to wait until <Enter> is pressed. /r (Reboot - Optional): Reboot the computer when the program completes. /q (Quiet Mode - Optional): Do not clear the screen when the program is finished. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒═══════════════╕ │ LANTools Menu │ ╘═══════════════╛ Description: LANTools Menu is a simple menu builder. You can create a standard ASCII text file, and Menu will display the menu items in a formatted screen. Use: LANTools Menu /f=FileSpec [/c=1-4] [/q] Returns: DOS Errorlevel (0=ESC was pressed, 1=Item 1, 2=Item 2...) Paramters /f Menu File Name to read. Example: LANTools Menu /f=MENU.TXT << Contents of MENU.TXT >> File Management Logout of Network Accounting Functions Send a Message Select Network Printer Attach to File Server If the example file above was used, the DOS ERRORLEVEL returned would be as follows: 0 - No Selection was made. 1 - File Management 2 - Logout 3 - Accounting 4 - Send a Message 5 - Select Network Printer 6 - Attach to File Server You can process this ERRORLEVEL in a batch file. For more information about DOS ERRORLEVELs and batch files, please see your handy-dandy DOS manual. Also see SAMPLE.BAT for an example of LANTools Menu. /c Color for Menu. 1-4 are accepted /q Do not clear the screen when finished. ╒══════════════════╕ │ LANTools Message │ ╘══════════════════╛ Description: LANTools Message is a simple utility that allows you to display messages to your users in a formatted, consistent and colorful way. Users do not need to have ANSI.SYS loaded, nor do you have to check for monitor type. Use: LANTools Message /m="Message Text" [/w=n] [/q] Parameters /m (Message Text - Required): This parameter tells LANTools Message what to display. Note that the message text must be surrounded by the quotation (") marks. You can place a carat (^) in your text to tell Message to break the text into two lines. For instance: LANTools Message /m="Hello There^Welcome Aboard" You are limited to displaying two lines of text. Each line of text is limited to 60 characters. /w (Wait Time - Optional): Tells LANTools Message how long to wait before ending the program. If you do not specify a parameter, 0 is assumed, which means to wait until <Enter> is pressed. /q (Quiet Mode - Optional): Do not clear the screen after the program ends. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒═══════════════════╕ │ LANTools Password │ ╘═══════════════════╛ Description: LANTools Password is functionally equivalent to Netware's SETPASS command. It allows your users to change their login password. Difference is in the interface, and that you can select to log the password to a text file. Run without parameters, PASSWORD checks to see if the user's password is about to expire (within 3 days). If so, the user is prompted to enter his old and new password. If correct, the user's password is changed at the file server. If the /l=LOG parameter is used, PASSWORD writes all password activity to a file called PW.LOG in the current directory. Be careful! This feature is not meant for any other reason than for the systems administrator to track and document passwords used on his/her system. Letting the PW.LOG file into the wrong hands, and your system security will go down the drain. Use: LANTools Password [/f] [/l=FILE.EXT] Parameters /f "Force" the password change. This could be used as a menu selection item, so the users can change their password whenever they want to. Without this parameter, PASSWORD checks to see if the user's password is almost expired. If not, the program ends. /l Log all password change activity into the specified file. For example: LANTools Password /f /l=f:\dat\pw.dat Note: You should Hide the directory that contains the password log file to keep prying eyes out of it. Also, remember that the users must have Write, Modify, Read and Open rights to this directory. If the file does not already exist, they must also have Create rights. Example Rights for directory that contains pw log file: Netware 386 - [ R W M F ] Netware 286 - [ R W M O S ] ╒═══════════════╕ │ LANTools Send │ ╘═══════════════╛ Description: LANTools Send is functionally equivalent to Netware's SEND.EXE. With LANTools Send, however, the user interface is quite a bit more friendly and colorful. If you are attached to multiple servers (via Netware's ATTACH or LANTools' ATTACH command), you can send messages to users on other servers by using the <Spacebar> while viewing the user list. Use: LANTools Send [/q] Parameters /q (Quiet Mode - Optional) Do not clear the screen after the program ends. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 ╒══════════════════╕ │ LANTools TimeOut │ ╘══════════════════╛ Description: LANTools TimeOut is a program that waits until a specified time is reached, then returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL. The program can be aborted by entering in a specified password, which then a different DOS ERRORLEVEL is returned. This returned value can be tested in a batch file. A common use for this utility is in Automated Tape procedures, such as performing an automatic backup at 02:00. << Example TAPE.BAT >> @echo off cls :LOOP LANTools TimeOut /t=02:00 /p=wierd if errorlevel 1 goto TAPE if errorlevel 0 goto EXIT :TAPE tna2tape /a /q goto LOOP :EXIT Use: LANTools TimeOut [/t=HH:MM] [/p=xxxxxxx] Parameters /t (Time - Optional) If specified, this is the time that must be reached in order for TimeOut to end. If not specified, you will be prompted to enter this information. Note: Use 24 Hour Military time! /p (Password - Optional) If specified, this is the password needed to abort the program. If not specified, you will be prompted for this information. /q (Quiet Mode - Optional) Do not clear the screen after this program ends. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 TimeOut Returns the following DOS ERRORLEVELS: 1 = Time Reached. 0 = Password Entered Correctly ╒═════════════════╕ │ LANTools WhoAmI │ ╘═════════════════╛ Description: LANTools WhoAmI provides an informational display containing vital information about the user who is running it. Information such as the password expiration date, connection number, ID number and current print queue selected is displayed in a nice box in the middle of the screen. The user cannot change any of this information within this function. Use: LANTools WhoAmI [/q] [/c=1] Parameters /c (Color - Optional) Specify a color from 1 - 4 /q (Quiet Mode - Optional) Do not clear the screen when this function ends. ╒═════════════════╕ │ LANTools YesBox │ ╘═════════════════╛ Description: LANTools YesBox is another batch file enhancer. With YesBox, you can place a message on the screen, and have the user respond with the up or down arrow keys to select either "Yes" or "No". Depending on what the user selects, a DOS ERRORLEVEL is returned. This returned value can be tested in a batch file for conditional branching. You probably have a utility that does this for you already, but not as friendly and colorful as this one is! The user cannot break out of this prompt. The only valid keys while in this function are the Up and Down arrow keys, and <Enter>. Use: LANTools YesBox [/m="Message Text"] [/q] Parameters /m (Message Text - Optional) Whatever text you specify in this parameter will be used as the title for the yes/no box. If you do not specify a parameter for this function, "Are You Sure" will be used. Note that you must surround your text with quotation (") marks, and are limited to 40 characters. /q (Quiet Mode - Optional) Do not clear the screen when the program ends. /c (Color - Optional) Select a color from 1 -4 LANTools Yesbox Returns the following DOS ERRORLEVELS 1 = The "Yes" option was selected. 2 = The "No" option was selected. ╒═══════╕ │ Notes │ ╘═══════╛ We are planning the following enhancements to LANTools: 1. Rolodex/Address Manager tied to EEMail's databases. 2. Map Assistant 3. Send/Receive Files between users. If you have any ideas for enhancements, please let us know! While we're here, here's a plug: Try Einstein Electronic Mail! You can find it on CIS, or on our support BBS. You'll find the same easy-to use functions in a professional, friendly electronic mail program for Novell Networks. ╒══════════════════╕ │ Revision History │ ╘══════════════════╛ Date Version Description ========================================================================= 05-03-91 1.0 Initial Release ========================================================================= 05-04-91 1.01 Changes to .DOC to show /c options, /r=REBOOT in LOGOUT was missing in code. ========================================================================= 05-07-91 1.02 Missing multiple group checking in IsMember. Added Online help when running LANTools without parameters. ========================================================================= 05-10-91 1.03 SEND now shows users who are logged on. Also added some information when a user is selected to send a message. Fixed a bug in MESSAGE that converted the text to lower case, and added code to allow up to two lines in most /m options. ========================================================================= 06-08-91 1.04 Fixed minor interface bugs. You'll probably not notice most of them, but they bugged me. For instance, when selecting a user in SEND, the light bar is returned to that user after the message is sent. Same kinda thing for CAPTURE. ========================================================================= 06-17-91 1.05 Another maintenance release. This release, we worked on the CAPTURE command. Now the user's previous capture flags are used and displayed. You'll notice the extra screens when the program is executed. Another minor one, the color parameters were ignored in SEND and CAPTURE. This is fixed. Still have to work on the colors for /c=2,3 and 4. They're pretty ugly right now... ========================================================================= 06-21-91 1.10 Added a new function, PASSWORD. This allows you to test your user's password. If it close to expiring (within 3 days), PASSWORD will prompt your users for their password, and change it in the bindery. This function is the only reason I can think of right now to own a laptop. Instead of staring at the walls waiting for a plane, I was able to get some work done. Now if only I had a cellular modem... Another new one, MENU, allows you to create a bounce-bar menu. Supply the file name containing the menu items, and go. Returns a DOS ERRORLEVEL depending on the item selected. SEND was totally changed in this release. Now you can send messages to groups. More information and cleaner interface. SEND and CAPTURE received a "Scroll Bar" function. This helps the user tell where he is in the list of things. CAPTURE had an invalid maximum window length, which "shadowed out" the userid in the footer line if more than 11 print queues were available. LIST was changed a bit. If you do not specify a file name (/f=filespec) on the command line, LIST will prompt you for one. This version has also changed the way users are prompted for their password in some functions. Now, TIMEOUT and LOCK display "*" instead of displaying the text of the password. If a user does not enter a message text in LOCK, a default of "I Am Away From My Desk" is now used. The SAMPLE.BAT changed to add new functions. Re-Run this again to see what's new. Edit that batch file to see how you can interface this stuff... ========================================================================= 06-24-91 1.11 Maintenance Release (so soon, you ask?) Everyone bugged me about not verifying the NEW password in PASSWORD. That's been corrected. The user is asked to enter his new password twice in this function. Also changed some messages the user receives when something happens to clarify the situation. The User Listing Window box in SEND was 2 lines too long. Woops. Should have looked at the code for CAPTURE, it was the exact same. ========================================================================= 06-30-91 1.20 New Version 1.20 Added another new function, WhoAmI. This is sorta like the WHOAMI.EXE program that Novell provides, just a little deeper. Basically combines some of the functionality of the Account Restrictions in SysCon, WHOAMI's display, and some other extras... LOCK received a screen blanker. After an inactivity period of about 5 minutes, the screen will go blank, and a spinner will appear in the lower right corner of your screen. This will continue until a key is pressed. Fixed a few minor interface problems in LOCK as well. For instance, when pressing the <Esc> key to type the password, if <Esc> is pressed again, LOCK does not display the "Invalid Password" message. A problem in PASSWORD was fixed that caused the "Minimum Password" error box to remain on the screen. The minimum password length no longer appears when typing the OLD password in PASSWORD. Changed a parameter in PASSWORD that allows you to specify the drive:path\filename of the password log file. For instance: LANTools Password /f /l=g:\anything\new.dat ========================================================================= 07-16-91 2.00 New Version 2.00 ATTACH did not work. It probably never worked, but I did not hear anything about it, and there is just one server in our office so it went unnoticed. This new version takes care of all the problems this program had. In addition to the Bug fixes, the password field is blanked out like other password fields. The most important feature of this new release is in the SEND and CAPTURE commands. Both of these new commands now support multi-server environments. If you need to capture to a printer on a different server, or send a message to a user on a remote server, you no longer need to make that your default server. SEND now allows users with Supervisor equivalence to send "anonymous" messages. This means that your user ID is not sent along with the message (just like BROADCAST from the file server). CAPTURE received many other small changes, most have to do with Multi-Server environments. Other changes include the ability to End Capture from any port (previously it selected only your default port). Many Interface changes. A new command, CheckPass has been added. This is a very simple utility that allows you to prompt the user for a password. If entered correctly, a DOS ERRORLEVEL of 1 is returned. Incorrect entries return a DOS ERRORLEVEL of 0. ========================================================================= 07-16-91 2.01 Maintenance Release A bug in SEND caused non-supervisor users to receive an error message after pressing the <Enter> key to send the message and return to DOS. This problem is now corrected...woops! ========================================================================= 08-10-91 2.10 New Version A typo disabled the Multi-Server functions. They're back! PASSWORD got a few cosmetic changes. For one, the opening screen displays a brief message about changing your password. A bug in the date logic caused the program to ignore when a user's password was about to expire. The program now checks the password expiration date, and if it's within 4 days, a prompt displays to change it.. The Yes/No dialog boxes would not accept the "Y" or "N" keys as valid responses. They do now... Is there anyone out there? Please tell us if you like this program, or even if you don't. We'd like to know! ========================================================================= ╒════════════╕ │ Known Bugs │ ╘════════════╛ No program is bug free. We try to make programs that do their job, but some bugs inevitably crawl into programs. That's a fact of life. If you find a bug, please let us know so we can correct it. The following is a list of bugs we know about and are working to correct: ATTACH - In Netware 386, if you do not use the command "SET UNENCRYPTED PASSWORDS = OFF", ATTACH will not work. I would not recommend that you set this option at the file server just to use ATTACH, since Netware's security may be compromised if you do. If you are using pre 3.00 shells, or are using Netware 286 version 2.1x, then you are already allowing unecrypted passwords, and you will not notice this problem. We are working on this one... PASSWORD - In Netware 386, if you are using Encrypted Passwords, PASSWORD will not work. Password will flag you that the server is encrypted, and the password will not be changed. Basically same as ATTACH... ╒════════╕ │ Notice │ ╘════════╛ Netware is a trademark of Novell, Incorporated. IBM is a trademark of International Business Machines, Incorporated.
