- CDD Usage:
- ==========
- CDD.COM is an enhanced version of the DOS 'CD' command. CDD not only provides
- the capability to change subdirectories but to also change drives, NetWare File
- Servers and Volumes. The only qualification for changing to a different drive,
- subdirectory or NetWare File Server/Volume is that:
-
- 1). The drive & directory must exist as specified (under NetWare, the
- specified drive must be a valid mapped drive although it does
- not have to be mapped to the specified File Server or Volume).
- 2). The user must have valid access rights.
- 3). If a NetWare File Server or Volume is specified, the user must
- already have ATTACHed to the associated File Server. However,
- the specified File Server and/or Volume does not need to have
- already been mapped.
-
- Examples:
-
- Command line Resulting destination Server/Vol (NetWare drives)
- ------------ --------------------- ---------------------------
- CDD \PROG \PROG (current drive) (current, if network drive)
- CDD C:\PROG C:\PROG (current, if network drive)
- CDD J:SYS:\PROG J:\PROG volume SYS:, current server
- CDD X:FS1\SYS1:\PROG X:\PROG volume SYS1: on FS1 server
-
- (Note: For NetWare network drive specifications, forward or backward
- slash separators may be used and a leading separator is not
- required between volume name and first subdirectory entry.)
-
-
- CDSET Usage:
- ============
- CDSET.EXE was designed as a compliment to CDD.COM. CDSET provides the
- capability to store the current drive and directory (plus File Server name
- and Volume, if on a NetWare network drive) in the User's Environment Table
- (UET) as the default variable HOME or some other specified UET variable name.
-
- Examples: Current directory Command line Resulting UET entry
- ----------------- ------------ -------------------
- C:\ (local) CDSET HOME=C:\
- D:\DIR (local) CDSET TEST TEST=D:\DIR
- M:\HOME (on FS1/SYS:) CDSET USERHOME USERHOME=M:FS1/SYS:HOME
-
-
- CDD.COM and CDSET.EXE could be used as follows in either batch files or menus:
-
- D:\HOME\USER>CDSET (SYS:HOME\USER is the starting point)
- D:\HOME\USER>CDD SYS1:LOTUS\123 (change the volume & subdirectory)
- D:\LOTUS\123>123 (the desired program can then be run)
- D:\LOTUS\123>CDD %HOME% (DOS inserts the UET HOME= value)
- D:\HOME\USER> (the user returns to SYS:HOME/USER)

- HELP:
- ====
- The following help screens are accessed by entering a question mark (?) on
- the command line (Note: CDD will automatically bring up the help screen if
- no parameters are specified on the command line.)
-
- CDD.COM:
- ========
- CDD v1.1 - Change Drive & Directory (c)1990-92 Avanti Technology, Inc.
- 800/AVANTI-4 (282-6844) * (+1)512/335-1168 * CompuServe:76517,3117
-
- Identical to the DOS CD/CHDIR command except, if a drive specification is given
- (local or network), it will attempt to change the drive and the subdirectory.
- Sufficient rights and a valid destination required for success (access rights,
- existing network drive, existing Server attachment, valid volume, etc.).
-
- Examples:
-
- Command line Resulting destination Server/Vol (NetWare drives)
- ------------ --------------------- ---------------------------
- CDD \PROG \PROG (current drive) (current, if network drive)
- CDD C:\PROG C:\PROG (current, if network drive)
- CDD J:SYS:\PROG J:\PROG volume SYS:, current server
- CDD X:FS1\SYS1:\PROG X:\PROG volume SYS1: on FS1 server
-
- Avanti also offers network management utilities for Novell NetWare based nets:
- NetAlarm - Network monitor (detect/log/alert F/S anomalies)
- NetTrack - Server Baseline Sampling/Trends Analysis (with logging)
- NetScope - Real-time, on-line IPX/NCP protocol monitoring/analysis
-
-
- CDSET.EXE:
- ==========
- CDSET v1.1 - Current Directory SET utility (c)1990-92 Avanti Technology, Inc.
- 800/AVANTI-4 (282-6844) * (+1)512/335-1168 * CompuServe:76517,3117
-
- CDSET will retrieve the current drive and subdirectory specifics from DOS
- then place this information in the Users Environment Table (UET). The user may
- specify a UET variable name to use, otherwise the default "HOME" will be used.
- This program is NetWare aware and compliments CDD for batch/menu control.
-
- Examples: Current directory Command line Resulting UET entry
- ----------------- ------------ -------------------
- C:\ (local) CDSET HOME=C:\
- D:\DIR (local) CDSET TEST TEST=D:\DIR
- M:\HOME (on FS1/SYS:) CDSET USERHOME USERHOME=M:FS1/SYS:HOME
-
- Avanti also offers network management utilities for Novell NetWare based nets:
- NetAlarm - Network monitor (detect/log/alert F/S anomalies)
- NetTrack - Server Baseline Sampling/Trends Analysis (with logging)
- NetScope - Real-time, on-line IPX/NCP protocol monitoring/analysis
-
- UET sizes (bytes): Config max = ???? / Inherited max = ???? / In use = ????
