The Carlisle Network Utilities
Release 1.1
=================================================================
The Carlisle Network Utilities is a set of enhancement programs
for Banyan VINES networks. The programs are the result of
Carlisle's many years of LAN design, installation and management
experience. They address communications, diagnostics, batch file
performance, memory management, and network utilization.
=================================================================
@ECHO Batch file ECHO command for DOS 3.2 and earlier.
Permits batch file compatibility in networks running
different versions of DOS.
CALL Batch file CALL command for DOS version 3.2 and
earlier. Permits one batch file to perform another as
a subroutine. Ensures sufficient Environment space for
more complicated CALLed batch files.
CAPSLOCK Force the CapsLock keyboard state to ON. Support and
simplify older, previously standalone applications that
only accept uppercase input.
GETATCLK Update the system clock from the CMOS (battery) clock.
Reset local time after LOGOUT, especially when the
server is in a different time-zone (DOS 3.2 and
earlier).
HOME Change to drive and directory specified in the DOS
Environment. Type HOME to return to the directory
specified in the HOME user profile entry.
QENVIRON Display DOS Environment values and space utilization.
Show number of bytes allocated and the percent used -
determine if the SHELL command parameters in CONFIG.SYS
are adequate.
QFS Display File Service filenames, extended attributes
(Share, Exec-only) and Access Rights Lists (ARLs) - a
VINES-specific replacement for the DOS DIR and TREE
commands. Total space used and place in a DOS
Environment variable for use as part of a simple disk
space quota system.
QMAIL Check if Mail is waiting during LOGIN. Set ErrorLevel
and Environment variable, permitting MAIL to be run
automatically.
QNAME Test for valid StreetTalk username or nickname, expand
and display full StreetTalk name, set DOS ErrorLevel if
not found.
QNET Display a concise list of VINES File and Print Service
assignments (similar to IBM's NET USE command).
QSERIAL Display the serial number of a File Service's server,
place it in the DOS Environment.
QSPACE Display space statistics for a drive mapped to
specified File Service - bytes available, in-use and
free, with percentage values for each.
QST Display StreetTalk database entries. Use wildcard
names, select only USERS, LISTS, NICKNAMES, SERVICES,
etc. Expand nicknames to full StreetTalk names.
QTIME Set various date and time formats into the DOS
Environment - U.S., international, text, 1-2-3, dBASE.
Use as part of a simple usage reporting systems.
QUSER Display logged-in username and place in DOS
Environment. Determine if a user has successfully
logged-in. Store username (or separate item, group and
organization) in DOS Environment for use in PROMPTs or
simple usage accounting systems.
QVECTOR Review PC software interrupts for conflicts. Determine
if VINES conflicts with other applications using
interrupts 60H-66H.
QVER Determine DOS and VINES versions - store these values
in the DOS Environment.
QVINES Determine if the resident VINES software is loaded,
set DOS ErrorLevel accordingly, place the VINES
interrupt number in the DOS Environment.
REBOOT Programmed soft system reboot. Simplify
program-controlled system reconfiguration.
RELASYNC Release the memory acquired by RASYNCH (the VINES
Asynchronous Communications Manager). This facility is
not available in VINES! Easily load and unload
third-party communications programs such as SOFTERM,
and the newer packages supporting the INT14/6B
interface.
RELNETB Release the memory acquired by PCNETB (the VINES
NETBIOS Emulator). This facility is not available in
VINES! Easily load and unload NETBIOS-based
applications.
SETATCLK Update the CMOS (battery) clock from the system clock.
Propagate the network time to the system clock, then to
the battery clock for all around synchronization (DOS
3.2 and earlier).
UNSHIFT Clear all keyboard shift states to OFF. Use UNSHIFT
during AUTOEXEC to put the arrow keys back where they
belong, on the numeric keypad. Clear CapsLock in batch
files running older applications that require uppercase
input.
VCD Enhanced replacement for DOS CHDIR command. Change
drive and directory simultaneously. Store the current
directory in the DOS Environment. Change to a drive
and directory previously stored. Suppress displayed
messages. Report outcome via DOS ErrorLevel.
VCOLOR Full-screen VINES menu color selection. Simplify
selection of menu color schemes, use function keys to
try-out the most informative (or most lurid!) color
combinations. Update current VINES SETCOLOR values.
Throw away the IBM Technical Reference Manual.
VDUP (VINES DUPlicating filter) - a DOS file copy filter.
Use it with other filters (e.g. VSTF) to filter (pipe)
a file back over itself - overcoming a limitation of
standard DOS.
VMD Enhanced replacement for DOS MKDIR command. Create a
directory from a name stored in the DOS Environment.
Change to the drive and directory just created. Create
a uniquely-named subdirectory, change to its drive and
directory, store its name in the DOS Environment.
Suppress displayed messages. Report outcome via DOS
ErrorLevel.
VMSG Display a VINES-style message on display line 25.
Enhance batch files to display line 25 status messages.
Specify text centering, blinking, or
wait-for-acknowledgement.
VRD Enhanced replacement for DOS RMDIR command. Remove a
directory named in the DOS Environment. Suppress
displayed messages. Report outcome via DOS ErrorLevel.
VSTF (VINES Standard Text Filter) - a DOS filter that
converts any file into a predictable ASCII format.
Especially useful for cleaning-up VINES reports and log
files for processing by applications programs.
=================================================================
The Carlisle Network Utilities comes complete with one set of
documentation in a three-ring VINES-style binder. Besides
providing syntax, usage and examples of each command, the manual
explains how to optimize applications for network running, and
shares some approaches to configuring network hardware.
Additional documentation sets may also be purchased.
The Carlisle Network Utilities is licensed per VINES server, with
no restriction on concurrent usage by workstations directly
connected to the licensed server. Contact Carlisle for VAR,
volume, and international pricing.
