NAME
NetMount - Do the mount stuff for ParNet by The Software Distillery
VERSION
$VER: NetMount.c,v 1.1 92/11/11 1:39:48
SYNPOSIS
NetMount [UNIT]
DESCRIPTION
NetMount is a tiny utility hack that simplifies mounting the ParNet
stuff very much. NetMount comes up with it's own MountList and makes
some useful assigns.
To use NetMount you need the following files coming with the ParNet
distribution (for ex. AmigaLibDisk400)
DEVS:ParNet.device
L:NetPNet-Handler
C:NetPNet-Server
C:NetPatch (not necessarily)
When starting NetMount from CLI/Shell you may pass a unit number
in the command line. This unit number must be either 1 or 0 and is
the unit number of *YOUR* Amiga.
However, the best way starting NetMount is to double-click it's icon
from the Workbench. You may configure NetMount via the following
ToolTypes:
NETSYS=<device>
ACCESS=<device> {|<device>}
MODE= [VERBOSE|BRIEF] | [NOICONS|FORCEICONS] | [INTERACTIVE|NOWINDOW]
Note: ALL <device> NAMES MUST *NOT* HAVE A TRAILING COLON ':'
NETSYS Allows you to specify a foreign device that will be assigned
to NetSys:. NetMount also tries to make the following
assigns:
NetSys: NET:<device>
NetC: NetSys:C
NetL: NetSys:L
NetS: NetSys:S
NetLIBS: NetSys:Libs
NetDEVS: NetSys:Devs
ACCESS Allows you to pass a list the foreign devices that should
be accessed. The devices must *NOT* have the trailing ':'
Once a foreign device has been accessed, it's ParNet icon
node.rinfo
will be displayed in the ParNet disk window. It will not
otherwise! See FORCEICONS for further details.
The MODE ToolType:
VERBOSE Opens a window during the mount and prints out all important
information. I strongly recommed using this VERBOSE mode since
you won't get any error messages without it.
BRIEF Performs a quiet mount without the info window. Do only use
this option if you're sure that everything works fine!
FOCEICONS Forces NetMount to create icons for all ACCESSed devices
if they do not already have one. All devices accessed via
the ACCESS ToolType will get a drawer icon which is taken
from
ENV:sys/def_drawer.info
If you don't have this file NetMount won't create any icons
for them. They will however be accessed in any case.
The NetSys: volume gets it's icon from
ENV:sys/def_netsys.info
which of cause should be a drawer icon. These icon files
will be copied into a file called
node.rinfo
on the other Amiga devices' root directory. These ParNet
icons will only be displayed if the device has already been
accessed. (See ACCESS for more information)
NOICONS Ignores the non-existance of node.rinfo files on the
ACCESSed devices' root directory.
INTERACTIVE Opens a window that allowes you to change the settings
in the ToolTypes for *THIS* current mount. This window will
also come up if you start NetMount from the CLI/Shell without
any unit number. You will *NOT* get the ToolType defaults if
you start NetMount from the CLI/Shell.
NOWINDOW Forces NetMount to start mounting without editing the current
ToolType settings. Do only use this option if you're sure
that all the ToolTypes are correct!
That's it. Thank you for trying out NetMount,
-Tobi
