The enclosed files comprise the initial release of the
WinBatch Network Command Extenders.  

They add a number of new network commands to the
basic WinBatch command set.  These commands can also be
added to our Command Post and File Commander products.

  The added commands are:


NetMapRoot("DriveLetter","Path")
NetMsgAll("ServerName","Message")
NetMsgSend("ServerName","UserName","Message")
NetLogin("ServerName","UserName","Password")
NetLogout("ServerName")
NetMemberGet("Servername","GroupName")
NetMemberSet("ServerName","GroupName")
NetAttach("ServerName")
NetDetach("ServerName")

These commands, and the built in network commands are
all documented in the file NETWORK.TXT


To enable these commands copy the files into a directory
mentioned in the DOS PATH statement and then do the following:

Also enclosed is the @NETTEST.WBT file.  This file will attempt a number
of network commands, produce a report (NETRSLT.TXT) and determine what 
commands may be supported by your network.   Please run the WBT file with
WinBatch and forward a copy of the report to us.   The top couple of lines
of the report will give the addresses, Compuserve ID's or BBS numbers.  If
we can get these reports back from a lot of people, we can improve support
for all networks.

The test WBT file is kind of generic.  You can modify it so that, for example,
the NetAttach commands really attaches to a server, instead of failing on
a non-existant server.  We would like to know of your experiences in these
matters too.  You may find it necessary to comment out some commands totally
unsupported by your system
