- NAME
- NetMount - Do the mount stuff for ParNet by The Software Distillery
-
-
- VERSION
- $VER: NetMount.c,v 1.1 92/11/11 1:39:48
-
-
- SYNPOSIS
- NetMount [UNIT]
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
- NetMount is a tiny utility hack that simplifies mounting the ParNet
- stuff very much. NetMount comes up with it's own MountList and makes
- some useful assigns.
-
- To use NetMount you need the following files coming with the ParNet
- distribution (for ex. AmigaLibDisk400)
-
- DEVS:ParNet.device
- L:NetPNet-Handler
- C:NetPNet-Server
- C:NetPatch (not necessarily)
-
- When starting NetMount from CLI/Shell you may pass a unit number
- in the command line. This unit number must be either 1 or 0 and is
- the unit number of *YOUR* Amiga.
-
- However, the best way starting NetMount is to double-click it's icon
- from the Workbench. You may configure NetMount via the following
- ToolTypes:
-
- NETSYS=<device>
- ACCESS=<device> {|<device>}
- MODE= [VERBOSE|BRIEF] | [NOICONS|FORCEICONS] | [INTERACTIVE|NOWINDOW]
-
- Note: ALL <device> NAMES MUST *NOT* HAVE A TRAILING COLON ':'
-
- NETSYS Allows you to specify a foreign device that will be assigned
- to NetSys:. NetMount also tries to make the following
- assigns:
- NetSys: NET:<device>
- NetC: NetSys:C
- NetL: NetSys:L
- NetS: NetSys:S
- NetLIBS: NetSys:Libs
- NetDEVS: NetSys:Devs
-
- ACCESS Allows you to pass a list the foreign devices that should
- be accessed. The devices must *NOT* have the trailing ':'
- Once a foreign device has been accessed, it's ParNet icon
-
- node.rinfo
-
- will be displayed in the ParNet disk window. It will not
- otherwise! See FORCEICONS for further details.
-
-
- The MODE ToolType:
-
-
- VERBOSE Opens a window during the mount and prints out all important
- information. I strongly recommed using this VERBOSE mode since
- you won't get any error messages without it.
-
- BRIEF Performs a quiet mount without the info window. Do only use
- this option if you're sure that everything works fine!
-
- FOCEICONS Forces NetMount to create icons for all ACCESSed devices
- if they do not already have one. All devices accessed via
- the ACCESS ToolType will get a drawer icon which is taken
- from
- ENV:sys/def_drawer.info
-
- If you don't have this file NetMount won't create any icons
- for them. They will however be accessed in any case.
- The NetSys: volume gets it's icon from
-
- ENV:sys/def_netsys.info
-
- which of cause should be a drawer icon. These icon files
- will be copied into a file called
-
- node.rinfo
-
- on the other Amiga devices' root directory. These ParNet
- icons will only be displayed if the device has already been
- accessed. (See ACCESS for more information)
-
- NOICONS Ignores the non-existance of node.rinfo files on the
- ACCESSed devices' root directory.
-
- INTERACTIVE Opens a window that allowes you to change the settings
- in the ToolTypes for *THIS* current mount. This window will
- also come up if you start NetMount from the CLI/Shell without
- any unit number. You will *NOT* get the ToolType defaults if
- you start NetMount from the CLI/Shell.
-
- NOWINDOW Forces NetMount to start mounting without editing the current
- ToolType settings. Do only use this option if you're sure
- that all the ToolTypes are correct!
-
- That's it. Thank you for trying out NetMount,
-
