DVPU4N v1.0 (DVP Utilities 4 Netware)...

Yet another collection of FREE Netware Utilities looking for a home.

If anyone would like to host these utilities please let me know and I would be glad to upload them.

A BRIEF description of each utility follows (to keep bandwidth down).

Please Note: These are all DOS based workstation utilities, and I have only tested them on NW3.11.

NETLOGN V1.0 NETLOGN is a full-screen front end to the Novell Netware 3.11 LOGIN program.

LOGMSG V1.0

LOGMSG displays a full screen login message.

HPXRXANS V1.0 HPXRXANS will take an input file and convert it to Hewlett Packard LaserJet III or IV format. It is specifically designed to facilitate Cross-Platform printing from a mainframe.

MSGSRV V1.0

MSGSRV will send messages to various Netware users based on an input file. MSGSRV was designed to allow mainframe based programs and users to issue broadcast messages to Netware LAN users.

AMILOGDN V1.0

AMILOGDN displays a Netware user's Server(s) and Userid(s). The /c flag can be used to display in addition, the Connection number, Network number, and Ethernet card address. AMILOGDN can also narrow the query to a specific Userid or Server using the /n or /s

parameters. To make AMILOGDN simply return the ERRORLEVELS but issue no messages to the screen, use the /q parameter.

FORCEM V1.0

FORCEM was designed to clear connections of inactive logged in users after hours. I could not locate any utilities that would allow interaction between the force program and the user. Thus this utility was created. This utility is run from a workstation. preferably from a DOS (or Windows) based scheduling machine. The scheduler runs FORCEM which notifies the users that they will be forced off of the LAN unless they type IAMHERE. If the user types IAMHERE they will not receive any more messages, and their connection will not be cleared. FORCEM will consider any user who logs in while FORCEM is running to be an active user, and will not issue any messages to that user or clear their connection.

SENDALL V1.0

The SENDALL program is designed to send a message to all of the users on all Servers that you are logged in to. This is very useful in getting messages out to everyone quickly.

MSGALL V1.0

MSGALL was designed to send messages to all users on certain severs at specified intervals. This utility is most useful when used by an unattended DOS (or Windows) based scheduling machine.

BROWSE V1.0

The BROWSE program was designed to display files that are too large to be viewed by most editors.

COLRWIND V1.0

This program will color a window on the screen and (optionally) place a text file in the window. It is used to make .BAT file programs more professional in appearance.

KEYCHOIC V1.0

This program will wait for a single key to be input. It has a built in screen saver that will start if no key is pressed in 5 minutes.

QUEUE V1.0

QUEUE will copy keystrokes to the Keyboard type ahead buffer. This has the effect of a person typing keystrokes on the keyboard.

WAIT V1.0

WAIT will simply wait a specified number of seconds, or exit if any key is pressed.

GETDRIVE V1.0

GETDRIVE will display all of the currently MAPped Netware drives just as the MAP command does. GETDRIVE will also display the next available drive letter that can be mapped, and will return an ERRORLEVEL of the next available Netware drive where: 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, Etc...

CCOPY V1.0

CCOPY was designed to be a more informative file copy program.

COPY will attempt to gain Exclusive access to the output file name. If it cannot get exclusive access (someone has it opened) it will end with an ERRORLEVEL 99. CCOPY will give a status of its progress (% complete) during the COPY. Once the input file has been copied to the output file, CCOPY will compare the two files to make sure that they are exactly the same. If the files compare CCOPY will exit with an ERRORLEVEL 0.
