MAP
Version 1.11
May 09, 1991
MAP is a utility for the Artisoft LANtastic network operating
system version 3.xx. MAP provides the functionality of the
Artisoft NET SHOW and NET POSTBOX commands in one simple, easy to
read display. The information provided by MAP is as follows:
The version of the NOS that you are running.
A list of all of your current redirections.
A list of all of the servers that you are logged on to. This
list will also indicate the user name that you are using and
whether or not you have any mail on that server.
The description of each resource.
MAP is a very easy utility to use, simply place it somewhere along
your DOS PATH and execute the command 'MAP'. We have it in our
X:\NETUTILS subdirectory on the file server. This subdirectory is
appended to our path in STARTNET.BAT so that everyone has access
to it when they are up on the network.
The output of MAP is written to STDOUT and is therefor
redirectable. This means you can do the following:
C:> MAP | MORE ' Pipe output through a filter
C:> MAP > MAP.LST ' Redirect output to a file
Beginning with version 1.08, there are two command line switches
for MAP:
P - Causes the output to be 'paged' (similar to DIR /P)
2 - Causes the list of redirections to be split into two
separate lists, one contains disk devices, the
other, printers.
These two options were added at the suggestion of John Soltow -
Thanks John.
Beginning with version 1.10, there is an additional command line
switch for MAP:
D - Causes the output to include the description of the shared
resource with the output. This switch and the /2 switch are
mutually exclusive. If both are included on the command line,
the one that is last is the one that will be processed.
These command line switches are case and prefix character insensitive.
Therefor, you may enter MAP 2 or MAP /2 or MAP 2p or MAP -P2, all are
valid.
Also beginning with MAP version 1.10, there is support for a single
DOS Environment variable. You can set the environment variable MAP
equal to the default command line. For example, if you normally use
paged output with descriptions, you could enter the following:
SET MAP=/P/D
to establish the MAP environment variable; then entering MAP at the
DOS command line would be the equivalent of entering MAP /P/D.
Beginning with version 1.11, there are two additional command line
switches for MAP:
H and ? - These switches display a help screen that describes
the command line options for MAP. If this option is used,
the help screen is displayed and then MAP exits with no
further processing.
Version 1.11 corrects a bug in the Description option processing. When
a shared resource doesn't have a descrption (as is the case for CD-ROM's
and attached resources to which you have no rights), MAP would repeat
the description of the previous resource. Thanks to Dennis Snipes for
reporting this bug and earning a free registration.
If you find MAP of value, please register with me. There are three
basic types of registration:
1. Simple registration. This option simply clears your
conscience and lets you use MAP and receive notices of
future upgrades. The cost for simple registration is
$5.00.
2. Complex registration. (What else is the opposite of
Simple???) This option entitles you to everything that
you get for simple registration and also gets you a disk
with the source code to MAP. MAP is written in
Turbo C++. The cost for complex registration is $15.00
which covers the cost of simple registration and also a
diskette and shipping to US addresses (foreign add
another $1.00).
3. Suggestor registration. This option is the equivalent
of simple registration. To qualify for this type of
registration, make a constructive suggestion for an
enhancement to MAP (or, heaven forbid, report a bug).
