CDD.COM and CDSET.EXE are programs developed by Avanti Technology, Inc.

CDD Usage:
==========
CDD.COM is an enhanced version of the DOS 'CD' command. CDD not only provides
the capability to change subdirectories but to also change drives, NetWare File
Servers and Volumes. The only qualification for changing to a different drive,
subdirectory or NetWare File Server/Volume is that:
1). The drive & directory must exist as specified (under NetWare, the
specified drive must be a valid mapped drive although it does
not have to be mapped to the specified File Server or Volume).
2). The user must have valid access rights.
3). If a NetWare File Server or Volume is specified, the user must
already have ATTACHed to the associated File Server. However,
the specified File Server and/or Volume does not need to have
already been mapped.
Examples:
Command line Resulting destination Server/Vol (NetWare drives)
------------ --------------------- ---------------------------
CDD \PROG \PROG (current drive) (current, if network drive)
CDD C:\PROG C:\PROG (current, if network drive)
CDD J:SYS:\PROG J:\PROG volume SYS:, current server
CDD X:FS1\SYS1:\PROG X:\PROG volume SYS1: on FS1 server
(Note: For NetWare network drive specifications, forward or backward
slash separators may be used and a leading separator is not
required between volume name and first subdirectory entry.)
CDSET Usage:
============
CDSET.EXE was designed as a compliment to CDD.COM. CDSET provides the
capability to store the current drive and directory (plus File Server name
and Volume, if on a NetWare network drive) in the User's Environment Table
(UET) as the default variable HOME or some other specified UET variable name.
Examples: Current directory Command line Resulting UET entry
----------------- ------------ -------------------
C:\ (local) CDSET HOME=C:\
D:\DIR (local) CDSET TEST TEST=D:\DIR
M:\HOME (on FS1/SYS:) CDSET USERHOME USERHOME=M:FS1/SYS:HOME
CDD.COM and CDSET.EXE could be used as follows in either batch files or menus:
D:\HOME\USER>CDSET (SYS:HOME\USER is the starting point)
D:\HOME\USER>CDD SYS1:LOTUS\123 (change the volume & subdirectory)
D:\LOTUS\123>123 (the desired program can then be run)
D:\LOTUS\123>CDD %HOME% (DOS inserts the UET HOME= value)
D:\HOME\USER> (the user returns to SYS:HOME/USER)

HELP:
====
The following help screens are accessed by entering a question mark (?) on
the command line (Note: CDD will automatically bring up the help screen if
no parameters are specified on the command line.)
CDD.COM:
========
CDD v1.1 - Change Drive & Directory (c)1990-91 Avanti Technology, Inc.
SN# Comp. Copy 800/AVANTI-4 (282-6844) 512/335-1168 CompuServe 76517,3117
Identical to DOS' CD/CHDIR command except that a drive may be specified.
CDD will attempt to change to the drive &/or directory (including Server
and volume name, if supplied). Sufficient rights and a valid destination
are required for success (existing Drive/Subdirectory or Drive/Server
attachment, valid volume, and access permission).
Examples: Destination D:\DIR Server/Vol: (NetWare drives)
--------- ------------------ ----------------------------
CDD \PROG \PROG (same drive) (unchanged, if on network)
CDD C:\PROG C:\PROG (unchanged, if on network)
CDD J:SYS:\PROG J:\PROG volume SYS: (server unchanged)
CDD X:FS1\SYS1:\PROG X:\PROG volume SYS1: on FS1 server
Avanti also offers network management tools for Novell NetWare based nets:
NetAlarm - 6Kb network monitor TSR (detect/log/alert F/S anomalies)
NetTrack - Network/Server base-line sampling utility (with logging)
NetScope - Real-time, on-line IPX/SPX/NCP protocol analysis (11/91)
CDSET.EXE:
==========
CDSET v1.1 - Current Directory SET utility (c)1990-91 Avanti Technology, Inc.
SN# Comp. Copy 800/AVANTI-4 (282-6844) 512/335-1168 CompuServe 76517,3117
CDSET will retrieve the current DOS drive and subdirectory information
then insert it into the User's Environment Table (UET). The user may
specify a UET variable name, otherwise the default "HOME" will be used.
This program is NetWare aware and compliments CDD for batch/menu control.
Examples: Current directory Command line Resulting UET entry
----------------- ------------ -------------------
C:\ (local) CDSET HOME=C:\
D:\DIR (local) CDSET TEST TEST=D:\DIR
M:\HOME (on FS1/SYS:) CDSET HOMEDIR HOMEDIR=M:FS1/SYS:HOME
Avanti also offers network management tools for Novell NetWare based nets:
