in my network a novell netware server is installed version is 4.12, all clients are diskless nodes, with boot rom , i mistakenly edited my admin user's scritpt but again copied the script from another user who also running the same script,from afterwords when i loged to novell server uing admin user and lanched my apllication in dos when exited from the application a message will show "command.com missing or insert flopy in drive A . but i will not get this error when i login with another user .

check the comspec settings in the login script (sys:\public\net$log.dat) *sample script: note map s2 and comspec lines MAP G:=SYS:PUBLIC\ MAP L:=SYS:LOGIN\ MAP H:=SYS:HOME\%LOGIN_NAME MAP I:=SYS: MAP J:=GEN: MAP S1:=SYS:PUBLIC\ MAP S2:=SYS:PUBLIC\%MACHINE\%OS\%OS_VERSION COMSPEC=S2:COMMAND.COM MAP S3:=SYS:HOME\%LOGIN_NAME MAP S4:=GEN:WINDOWS MAP S5:=SYS:NC DRIVE H: when you exit a program, it looks to comspec to see where the pc boot version of command.com is to reload dos. It is relative to the version of dos each pc boots from, you need a directory and a copy of command.com for each version of dos used in the network, i.e., 3.3, 5.0, 6.2 and so on, example directory structure is: \\server\sys:public\IBM_PC\MSDOS\V6.22 hope this helps

sir , i have fllowing login script for admin user map *1:=sys: map *2:=data1: map *3:=data2: map *4:=apps: ;(where data1,data2,and apps are volumes) map ins s1:=sys:public map ins s1:=sys:public\dos comspec=s2:command.com map ins s3:=data1:banksoft machine=P-station drive x This is the login script for my user admin, pl see it and if you find any problem in this script plz correct it and tell me back. Thanking You for your kind help. from dvg

i don't believe that your sarch path name is correct please use the following syntax : map s2=yourservername/volumename:pathtocommand.com and than commspec=s2:command.com fits again ! :-) regards mike pacholke www.hsinet.de www.alte-netware.de www.old-netware.com
