- INTRODUCTION:
-
- NW_SHARE detects a SHARE driver and sets the ERRORLEVEL. It uses
- two different tests to determine is the SHARE driver exists. The
- tests are: SHARE API test and lock/unlock test. If either of these
- pass, then a non-zero number is returned in the ERRORLEVEL.
-
- This program is typically used for network batch files that need
- to ensure that an end user has not removed the SHARE driver.
-
- Originally, this was developed to help ensure the network version
- of Wildcat BBS would run on hundreds of computers attached to a
- Novell network.
-
- Why did we give this program such a weird name? It is getting
- very tough picking a 8 char file name that is not already used!
-
-
-
- ERRORLEVEL:
-
- 0 = No SHARE driver is installed.
- 1 |= Passed SHARE lock/unlock test.
- 2 |= Passed SHARE API test.
-
- Each test passed will OR the number on the left side together.
- For example, a value of 3 means it passed both tests.
-
-
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- nw_share /NOLOGO /NOINFO /NOERRLVL
- if errorlevel 1 goto YES
- echo Error: You do not have SHARE loaded!
- goto BR1
- :YES
- echo You have have SHARE loaded. Great!
- :BR1
