Auto Attach for Windows Version 1.0

Dependencies:
	Novell 1.0 or greater VLM client 


1.0	OVERVIEW

Auto Attach for Windows (AttachW) allows you to Login into one or more
Netware servers, map drives, and logout, with a click of a icon.

To get Started right away read section 2.0

With the advent of Novell's VLM client software (shipped with 3.12 
and 4.0) there is no longer a requirement to be attached to a server
when loading the network drivers.  This is a boon for remote dialin 
users.  Now Remote dialin users can dial the modem, connect, login,
map drives, logout and disconnect all within Windows.

Direct Connect LAN users can also use Auto Attach for Windows to 
simplify temporary attachments to multiable Novell servers.  Upon
connection, you can automatically launch applications on the remote 
server.  You can also specify that when the application is completed
to automatically logout.
   
Auto Attach for Windows uses predefined "sessions" to simplify these complex
attachments.  A session defines:
	A startup program to launch (Remote Dialup Software)
	The Novell server(s) to attach to and map drives for 
	An Application to launch once connected
	A Window to monitor that if closed to automatically detach
	A program to launch when done (Dialup Modem disconnect software).   
  
You can run a session via an icon by specifing the session name 
in the AttachW command line or you can launch a session while running 
Auto Attach for Windows.

If your needs are more simple, you can just run AttachW and select a server to
log into.  If you have defined disk drive maps for that server, they will be
mapped automatically.

Network Administrators can also setup Auto attach for Windows so that the 
end user will never see the Auto Attach for Windows main screen.  Using the
/A command line option will run Auto Attach for Windows in Full Auto Mode.
This shows only a status window and the disconnect window.    


2.0	Getting Started

Run either the AttachW config icon (attachw.exe /C) to configure servers,
drive maps and sessions or run AttachW and then select the configure icon 
(the Swiss army knife).

Create a new server.  Enter in the name of the server(s)  you are planning to use
with Auto Attach for Windows (you can repeate this procedure for multiable servers)  
You can Specify as much or as little information as you want.  If you
specify the complete login UserID and Password, you can bypass the login
window (There is an optional hidden ini settimg which allows users to store
thier password, otherwise Auto Attach will not allow entering of passwords).
(see attachw.ini for further info)

Save the server info.

Add the Disk Drive maps needed for the server.
	You may specify a root drive map by clicking the root box.
	For sessions file to be used by multiable users, you may 
 	include the userid that was used at login time within the map by
	specifing %LOGIN_NAME and specify a group name that the user must
	be a member of for this drive map. 

	The same drive can be mapped to different paths depending on the 
	group that the user belongs too.

	Examples:
	 MAP F: SYSADMIN group, ROOT drive, path = SYS:\SYSDIR
	 MAP K: path = DATA:\
	 MAP H: path = DATA:\%LOGIN_NAME
	 MAP M: CCMAILUSER group, ROOT drive, path = MAIL:\CCMAIL
	 MAP M: MSMAILUSER group, ROOT drive, path = MAIL:\MSMAIL
 
Click on the sessions buttton.  Create a new session and add the server
you just defined into the attach list.  You may now specify the the
optional paramenters for program startup, once connected and disconnect.
