This README file accompanies current versions of MENU for NetWare v2.x and
v3.x.
Two sets of Novell MENU files are provided: MENU v1.02a and a hybrid set
of MENU files including MENU v1.23 and MENUPARZ v1.22 (this set includes
the memory release fix which was previously distributed in MENU.EXE and
discussed in Technical Bulletin 271). The combination of both sets should
provide you with all functions supported by Novell MENU. Each MENU set
provides a function that the other does not. A description of the two
functions which are "mutually exclusive" is provided below.
ISSUE 1: (Calling Menu from a batch file)
Some versions of Novell's Menu program cannot be called from a batch file.
This includes the common practice of EXITING the Login Script to a batch
file which in turn executes MENU.EXE.
A symptom of this anomaly is manifested in the execution of a Menu option
when MENU is called from a batch file. The command following the call to
MENU in the batch file is executed instead of the Menu option selected. In
this case, MENU is effectively exited and control is returned to the batch
file.
SOLUTION: Use MENU v1.02a
ISSUE 2: (Creating Search Mappings within Menu)
Search mappings created from within Menu, (or by a batch file called from
within Menu) appear to be created, but are not valid. The Menu user is in
a DOS Child Process when trying to create the Search Mappings. The
mappings are not available for the current process, but are seen in the
parent environment when the child process is removed.
SOLUTION: Use the Hybrid set of MENU files (v1.22 and v1.23)
