- The Mnu Installation Instructions
-
- The Mnu including all of its program files and documentation is
- Copyright (c) 1989 by Bonsai Technologies. All rights reserved.
-
- Note: You MUST be running PC or MS DOS 3.3 to use The Mnu.
-
- Note: The Mnu was written for Netware v2.1x. It is known to
- operate correctly on 2.1x versions(2.10,2.11,2.12,2.15). It
- should also operate correctly on v2.0a -- however Bonsai
- Technologies has not verified this.
-
- Installation and Configuration of The Mnu is not a trivial task
- if you are not familiar with both DOS and Novell. If you are not
- familiar with both DOS and Novell, we recommend that you enlist
- the services of someone who is.
-
- 1) Read the file LICENSE.DOC and agree to the terms
- presented for non-registered users.
-
- 2) Login as SUPERVISOR or equivalent.
-
- 3) Copy MNUCON.EXE, MNU$HLP.HLP, MNU.BAT, MNU$EXEC.EXE,
- MNU$MAIN.EXE and MNUINST.EXE to SYS:PUBLIC. Flag these
- files as Shareable Read-Only.
-
- 4) Copy MNU$LOG.BAT to SYS:LOGIN and flag as Shareable
- Read-Only. Also, make sure the group EVERYONE has ROS
- rights to SYS:LOGIN.
-
- 5) Run BINDFIX in SYS:SYSTEM to backup the bindery files.
- This step is necessary to allow you to restore your
- system to its original state in the unlikely event that
- you are using another application that uses the same
- non-standard object types as The Mnu.
-
- 6) Create a work directory for The Mnu and give EVERYONE
- all rights except parental to it. We suggest that the
- work directory be SYS:MNU_WORK.
-
- 7) Modify the system login script. The Mnu must have a
- drive mapped out to its work directory. Also, the
- environment variables must be set if the defaults are
- not used. Here is a sample script:
- MAP F:=SYS:USERS\%LOGIN_NAME
- MAP S1:=SYS:PUBLIC
- MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC\%MACHINE\%OS\%OS_VERSION
- MAP ins S1:=SYS:APPS
- MAP W:=SYS:MNU_WORK
- SET MNU_STATION=STATION
- * These values are defaults, but we'll set them
- * anyway.
- SET MNU_WORK="W"
- SET MNU_SEARCH="X"
- SET MNU_USER="F"
- See the Installation Reference section of the manual
- for more information. Please note the MNU_WORK
- environment variable must _always_ be set. Also note
- that the syntax given is correct for Novell login
- scripts, if you are setting the env vars from a batch
- file, omit the "s (SET MNU_WORK=W).
-
- 8) Run MNUINST and select Install The Mnu.
-
- 9) Run MNUCON.
-
- a) Use Menu Information to create a base menu. We
- suggest that you name it BASE_MENU, put in your
- company name as the Description and make EVERYONE
- an Authorized Object.
-
- b) Use Other Information to set options. Set Base
- Menu to the menu created in #7(BASE_MENU). Set the
- Allow User Authorization and Allow Escape to DOS
- as desired. See the Other Information section of
- the manual for more information on these options.
-
- c) Create a Logout item: use Item Information to
- create an item named LOGOUT per the following:
- Description Logout
- Authorized Groups EVERYONE
- Menus Used In BASE_MENU
- Execution Method Logout
-
- 10) The Mnu is now useable. If you wish users to load the
- menu automatically when they login, put the command
- EXIT "MNU" in each user's login script.
-
- 11) You may now create your full menu structure with
- MnuCon. Please note that you must be SUPERVISOR or
- equivalent to run MnuCon.
