CONSOLE HELP VAP
This program is a VAP (Value-Added Process) written for Novell NetWare
file servers. It provides an on-line help facility for file server console
commands.
A console operator may type "HELP" or "?" and get a listing of
different command classifications. Help in a specific area can be obtained
by typing "? " followed by the first letter of the topic (i.e. help on
printer commands can be accessed by typing "? P" or "? PRINTERS"). This will
show the syntax of printer console commands. If more information is wanted
about a particular printer command, then a full-screen description of the
command is available by making a menu selection.
To install the VAP on a file server:
(1) copy the CONHELP.VAP file to SYS:SYSTEM
(2) copy the CONHELP.DAT file to SYS:PUBLIC
(3) make sure user GUEST is defined with ROS rights in SYS:PUBLIC
(4) bring the file server down and back up again
(5) answer "Y" to 'Value Added processes have been defined. Do you
wish to load them?' prompt.
To install the VAP on a bridge:
(1) copy the CONHELP.VAP file to the same drive/directory as BRIDGE.EXE
(2) copy the CONHELP.DAT file to the root directory of the same drive.
(3) reboot the bridge machine
(4) answer "Y" to 'Value Added processes have been defined. Do you
wish to load them?' prompt.
This VAP was written using Microsoft C 5.1 and MASM 5.1. It is meant to show
application developers the basic structure of a VAP, as well as a show a
subset of API calls available in a VAP.
