- How can I implement the MAP ROOT-Command using the DOS-API?
- For to assign a drive-letter to a NetWare-Volume and -Path it is possible to
- use the MAP-command. F.e. MAP F:=VOL1:DIR1 mapps F: to the Path DIR1 located on
- the volume VOL1.
- But the DOS-Command DIR F:\*.* then shows the contents of VOL1's ROOT, not the
- one of DIR1 (this does DIR F:*.*). To avoid this, one can use the MAP-command
- with the command-line-parameter ROOT (f.e.: MAP Root F:=VOL1:DIR1.
-
- But I'm helpless to use the root-option within the DOS-API. I know how to map a
- drive with ALLOC_PERMANENT_DIRECTORY_HANDLE. But I can't implement a map of a
- Volume/Path-combination to a root. Any hints?
-
- Thanks in advance.JO.
