JRBUTILS v2.11
JRButils v2.11 comprises 45 utilities for managing Novell
networks. This collection of utilities is now in two parts:
(1) Part A contains the 27 utilities from v2.00 which have
been updated and are available on the Internet in
JRB211A.ZIP. Read CHANGES.TXT for details of new features
and bug fixes.
(2) Part B comprises 18 new utilities in JRB211B.ZIP. They
are available from the author upon payment of a
registration fee, and are described in the accompanying
document JRB211B.TXT.
All 45 utilities run under NW 2.1x, 2.2 and 3.x. They have
undergone limited testing using the VLM's and under NW 4.01
bindery emulation. All problems discovered during testing have
been fixed, but it should be noted that no attempt has (yet)
been made to make them NW 4.x aware e.g. CREATOBJ will create
a mail directory and place the login script within it, whereas
under 4.x, the login script is stored in a property of the
user. A future release will be NW 4.x aware and will
incorporate support for Netware Directory Services (NDS).
The programs in JRButils are provided without warranty of any
kind. Although, every effort has been made to ensure that they
are bug free and perform as described, neither the author nor
JRB Software accept any liability whatsoever for any damages
including lost profits or revenue, or any other consequential
damages resulting from the use of these programs comprising
JRButils. Any action brought against the author or JRB
Software will be under the jurisdiction of the courts of New
Zealand.
Please report bugs to J.Baird@lincoln.ac.nz. Suggestions for
enhancements and new features are welcome.
Registering JRButils
The ongoing development of JRButils incurs significant costs
for hardware, compilers, development kits and so on. To help
meet these costs, I have implemented the following
registration scheme:
Register your site as a user of JRButils, pay the $US150
registration fee and you will receive the 18 utilities in part
B, plus any updates or new utilities developed during the 12
months from the date that I receive your registration with
cheque, purchase order or credit card details. Registrants
will also receive periodic notification of bug fixes.
Printed manuals, documenting the utilities in both parts A and
B, are also available. These are provided unbound, and may be
photocopied for use within your organisation. If I update the
manual within 12 months of receipt of your order, you will
receive an updated manual free of charge. The cost structure
is:
(a) Registration only $US150
(b) Order manual only $US150
(c) Combine a registration and an order for a manual $US250
To register and/or order a manual, fill in the details in
ORDER.FRM and mail it to:
JRB Software
PO Box 28118
Christchurch 8000
New Zealand
Alternatively you may e-mail ORDER.FRM to
j.baird@lincoln.ac.nz, or fax it to (64) 3 325 2944 (ensure my
name appears on the fax).
Note that a single registration covers an organisation within
one metropolitan area. Organisations spanning more than one
metropolitan area and wanting to use JRButils within each area
should register more than one copy.
Organisations which have purchased manuals for JRButils v2.00
will receive both the new utilities and an updated manual.

JRBUTILS History
Some of the programs in JRBUTILS were originally developed as
an aid to managing the Novell fileservers at Lincoln
University. As a result various requests for utilities on
novell@suvm.bitnet and comp.sys.novell, I tidied some of my
utilities, improved the error handling, and released them onto
the Internet in early 1991. Development of these utilities and
of new utilities has continued, in my own time. All the
original programs have been rewritten in C (from Turbo Pascal)
and in most cases have been significantly enhanced. In
September 1992, with the support of the Director of the Centre
for Computing and Biometrics at Lincoln University, I have
obtained legal ownership of the programs in JRBUTILS.
