The Mnu Installation Instructions
The Mnu including all of its program files and documentation is
Copyright (c) 1989 by Bonsai Technologies. All rights reserved.
Note: You MUST be running PC or MS DOS 3.3 to use The Mnu.
Note: The Mnu was written for Netware v2.1x. It is known to
operate correctly on 2.1x versions(2.10,2.11,2.12,2.15). It
should also operate correctly on v2.0a -- however Bonsai
Technologies has not verified this.
Installation and Configuration of The Mnu is not a trivial task
if you are not familiar with both DOS and Novell. If you are not
familiar with both DOS and Novell, we recommend that you enlist
the services of someone who is.
1) Read the file LICENSE.DOC and agree to the terms
presented for non-registered users.
2) Login as SUPERVISOR or equivalent.
3) Copy MNUCON.EXE, MNU$HLP.HLP, MNU.BAT, MNU$EXEC.EXE,
MNU$MAIN.EXE and MNUINST.EXE to SYS:PUBLIC. Flag these
files as Shareable Read-Only.
4) Copy MNU$LOG.BAT to SYS:LOGIN and flag as Shareable
Read-Only. Also, make sure the group EVERYONE has ROS
rights to SYS:LOGIN.
5) Run BINDFIX in SYS:SYSTEM to backup the bindery files.
This step is necessary to allow you to restore your
system to its original state in the unlikely event that
you are using another application that uses the same
non-standard object types as The Mnu.
6) Create a work directory for The Mnu and give EVERYONE
all rights except parental to it. We suggest that the
work directory be SYS:MNU_WORK.
7) Modify the system login script. The Mnu must have a
drive mapped out to its work directory. Also, the
environment variables must be set if the defaults are
not used. Here is a sample script:
MAP F:=SYS:USERS\%LOGIN_NAME
MAP S1:=SYS:PUBLIC
MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC\%MACHINE\%OS\%OS_VERSION
MAP ins S1:=SYS:APPS
MAP W:=SYS:MNU_WORK
SET MNU_STATION=STATION
* These values are defaults, but we'll set them
* anyway.
SET MNU_WORK="W"
SET MNU_SEARCH="X"
SET MNU_USER="F"
See the Installation Reference section of the manual
for more information. Please note the MNU_WORK
environment variable must _always_ be set. Also note
that the syntax given is correct for Novell login
scripts, if you are setting the env vars from a batch
file, omit the "s (SET MNU_WORK=W).
8) Run MNUINST and select Install The Mnu.
9) Run MNUCON.
a) Use Menu Information to create a base menu. We
suggest that you name it BASE_MENU, put in your
company name as the Description and make EVERYONE
an Authorized Object.
b) Use Other Information to set options. Set Base
Menu to the menu created in #7(BASE_MENU). Set the
Allow User Authorization and Allow Escape to DOS
as desired. See the Other Information section of
the manual for more information on these options.
c) Create a Logout item: use Item Information to
create an item named LOGOUT per the following:
Description Logout
Authorized Groups EVERYONE
Menus Used In BASE_MENU
Execution Method Logout
10) The Mnu is now useable. If you wish users to load the
menu automatically when they login, put the command
EXIT "MNU" in each user's login script.
11) You may now create your full menu structure with
MnuCon. Please note that you must be SUPERVISOR or
equivalent to run MnuCon.
