The Mnu Installation Instructions The Mnu including all of its program files and documentation is Copyright (c) 1989 by Bonsai Technologies. All rights reserved. Note: You MUST be running PC or MS DOS 3.3 to use The Mnu. Note: The Mnu was written for Netware v2.1x. It is known to operate correctly on 2.1x versions(2.10,2.11,2.12,2.15). It should also operate correctly on v2.0a -- however Bonsai Technologies has not verified this. Installation and Configuration of The Mnu is not a trivial task if you are not familiar with both DOS and Novell. If you are not familiar with both DOS and Novell, we recommend that you enlist the services of someone who is. 1) Read the file LICENSE.DOC and agree to the terms presented for non-registered users. 2) Login as SUPERVISOR or equivalent. 3) Copy MNUCON.EXE, MNU$HLP.HLP, MNU.BAT, MNU$EXEC.EXE, MNU$MAIN.EXE and MNUINST.EXE to SYS:PUBLIC. Flag these files as Shareable Read-Only. 4) Copy MNU$LOG.BAT to SYS:LOGIN and flag as Shareable Read-Only. Also, make sure the group EVERYONE has ROS rights to SYS:LOGIN. 5) Run BINDFIX in SYS:SYSTEM to backup the bindery files. This step is necessary to allow you to restore your system to its original state in the unlikely event that you are using another application that uses the same non-standard object types as The Mnu. 6) Create a work directory for The Mnu and give EVERYONE all rights except parental to it. We suggest that the work directory be SYS:MNU_WORK. 7) Modify the system login script. The Mnu must have a drive mapped out to its work directory. Also, the environment variables must be set if the defaults are not used. Here is a sample script: MAP F:=SYS:USERS\%LOGIN_NAME MAP S1:=SYS:PUBLIC MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC\%MACHINE\%OS\%OS_VERSION MAP ins S1:=SYS:APPS MAP W:=SYS:MNU_WORK SET MNU_STATION=STATION * These values are defaults, but we'll set them * anyway. SET MNU_WORK="W" SET MNU_SEARCH="X" SET MNU_USER="F" See the Installation Reference section of the manual for more information. Please note the MNU_WORK environment variable must _always_ be set. Also note that the syntax given is correct for Novell login scripts, if you are setting the env vars from a batch file, omit the "s (SET MNU_WORK=W). 8) Run MNUINST and select Install The Mnu. 9) Run MNUCON. a) Use Menu Information to create a base menu. We suggest that you name it BASE_MENU, put in your company name as the Description and make EVERYONE an Authorized Object. b) Use Other Information to set options. Set Base Menu to the menu created in #7(BASE_MENU). Set the Allow User Authorization and Allow Escape to DOS as desired. See the Other Information section of the manual for more information on these options. c) Create a Logout item: use Item Information to create an item named LOGOUT per the following: Description Logout Authorized Groups EVERYONE Menus Used In BASE_MENU Execution Method Logout 10) The Mnu is now useable. If you wish users to load the menu automatically when they login, put the command EXIT "MNU" in each user's login script. 11) You may now create your full menu structure with MnuCon. Please note that you must be SUPERVISOR or equivalent to run MnuCon.
