/* Development Environment: BC++ 3.1, DOS 5.0, Novell Netware 3.11, Novell Netware Client API 1.0e Thomas H. Smith / Weirton Steel Corp. [70674,3300] This program demonstrates resetting the path for a drive allocated through the NWSetDriveBase function. The code within the accompanying NET_ENV.CPP was generally made by Peter Thomas [75716,2377] in the GBL_ENV.C program of GBLENV.ARC from the 'BCPPDOS' section. GBL_ENV.C is a translation of SETPATH.PAS by David Dubois [71401,747]. The assembly code within the Mstr_FindEnvironment() function, within NET_ENV.CPP, is from RESETMAP.C by Vitek Boruvka, found in NOVLIB. Place your server name in the 'server[] = "" ' variable. Program is written with presumption that SYS:PUBLIC exists. To be run after user is logged in. */ None of the files included may be sold to others. If any copies or segments of the NET_ENV.CPP program are reused the names and user IDs of the following editors must be included: David Dubois [71401,747] Peter Thomas [75716,2377] Vitek Boruvka Thomas H. Smith [70674,3300] Resetmap.cpp and gbl_env.c are not part of the project. They are include to let users see origins of code referred to below. Personal setup of directories: program - d:\bcpp\progs include - d:\bcpp\include;d:\bcpp\classlib\include;d:\bcpp\nov\include; d:\bcpp\progs library - d:\bcpp\lib;d:\bcpp\classlib\lib;d:\bcpp\nov\lib; program/compiler settings: include - ..\include;..\classlib\include;..\nov\include;. Library - ..\lib;..\classlib\lib;..\nov\lib Notes: If there is a method of resetting the path through the use of the NWSetSearchDriveVector() function call please inform me of it. The functions within NET_ENV.CPP can be used to alter any part of the DOS/NETX environment. This program works with both NETX.COM and NET5.COM. It _appears_ that the interrupt 21, BA function returns address of the NETX.COM environment. It does NOT get the COMMAND.COM environment. This program is segments of a longer one written to automatically log in, map the network drives (thru NWSetDriveBase), reset the path - to remain effective after program termination, and connect to a printer queue. Making permanent changes to the DOS environment is not a normal C program function. The first attempt at an automatic login used code from GBL_ENV.C for finding the environment. It returns a pointer to the COMMAND.COM environment. If the automatic login was placed in AUTOEXEC.BAT it would have odd effects on the PC, sometimes locking it up on Boot. Yet, this program would run fine from the DOS prompt. Deduction - COMMAND.COM, which invokes the AUTOEXEC.BAT file was not yet in the TSR stage, and/or the environment area of COMMAND.COM was not completed while the automatic login was attempting to modify it. The automatic login program worked from within AUTOEXEC.BAT after substituting the original code of the Mstr_FindEnvironment() function with assembler code from RESETMAP.C, procedure char far *_GetMasterEnvPntr(WORD *maxEnvSize) . P.S. I am currently a employed as a FoxPro/dBase programmer with professional experience in Netware Administration, personal experience in C/C++ (DOS and Windows), assembly, and am looking for employment openings in C/C++ programming [01/29/94].
