- USERID.TXT
- ----------
- This is a short file used to show the use of USERID.BIN, written by
- XXXXXXXX. (Currently unknown)
-
- This can be downloaded with it's .ASM from the DBASE forum on
- CompuServe, Library 4, as USERID.ZIP.
-
- This quick little routine is designed to check on your LAN for the
- userid of the current user. This can then allow you to use the
- information for a variety of purposes, by placing the returned value
- into a memory variable that you can work with in your programs.
-
- The easiest use of it, is with the function by Angus Scott-Fleming,
- in the file MISC.PRG in LIBXXX.ZIP. This function (USERID()) will do
- the work for you.
-
- The basics are:
-
- LOAD USERID.BIN
- cTEMP = space(48)
- CALL USERID WITH cTEMP
- RELEASE MODULE cTEMP
-
- Also note, if you are using version 1.5 of dBASE IV, this routine is
- completely unnecessary, as you can use the function ID(), instead.
