INTRODUCTION:
NW_SHARE detects a SHARE driver and sets the ERRORLEVEL. It uses
two different tests to determine is the SHARE driver exists. The
tests are: SHARE API test and lock/unlock test. If either of these
pass, then a non-zero number is returned in the ERRORLEVEL.
This program is typically used for network batch files that need
to ensure that an end user has not removed the SHARE driver.
Originally, this was developed to help ensure the network version
of Wildcat BBS would run on hundreds of computers attached to a
Novell network.
Why did we give this program such a weird name? It is getting
very tough picking a 8 char file name that is not already used!
ERRORLEVEL:
0 = No SHARE driver is installed.
1 |= Passed SHARE lock/unlock test.
2 |= Passed SHARE API test.
Each test passed will OR the number on the left side together.
For example, a value of 3 means it passed both tests.
EXAMPLE:
nw_share /NOLOGO /NOINFO /NOERRLVL
if errorlevel 1 goto YES
echo Error: You do not have SHARE loaded!
goto BR1
:YES
echo You have have SHARE loaded. Great!
:BR1
