Frank, the following automated solution for running Computer Select on t network may interest you. This is very desirable for network administrators who use shared menuing systems. IPX or IPXODI loaded earlier. COMPSEL.BAT – NETUSR /N:1 /U:Frank_Zirpolo // Device driver MSCDEX /D:$OPTINET /E // Extensions ONET -A <Server Name> -O COMPSEL // Access Server, Database SETCD // Create Environment Var %CD%:CS // e.g. CD=E ONET -R // Remove all from memory This example loads the device driver and extensions, determines the CD-ROM drive letter, runs Computer Select from that drive letter, then removes both NETUSR.COM and MSCDEX.EXE from memory. The user's system is left unaltered, and other programs may be run without a reboot required to reclaim system resources. NETUSR and MSCDEX may be loaded high with DOS 5.0 "Loadhigh" and still removed. System RAM cost, worst case: 30KB. Best case: 0 (using UMBs and possible EMS). This is 100% automated, non-intrusive, compatible with all interfaces, and doesn't require any software to be installed on the user station if the software is loaded from the file server (although this implies a loaded network shell).
