MS-DOS
Summary:
The following information applies to the Microsoft DOS LAN Manager
versions 2.0 and 2.1, running under Windows version 3.0.
The network interface (NIF) is presented to the user upon typing the
NET or NET ADMIN command. This interface allows network access,
control, and maintenance.
If DOS LAN Manager's NET.EXE is run full screen inside Windows version
3.0, an MS-DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.SYS or MOUSE.COM for the Microsoft
mouse) must be run in order to use a mouse with NET.EXE. However, if
Windows 3.0 is running and ALT+ENTER is pressed at the full-screen
command prompt, thus converting the full-screen command prompt into a
windowed command prompt inside the Windows screen group (using OS/2
terminology), NET.EXE will work inside the Windows screen group.
However, whether or not a DOS mouse driver is installed, the mouse
cannot be used to access the NET.EXE menus. Instead, use the keyboard
accelerators. This appears to be a mouse contention problem with
running a mouse-aware DOS application in a windowed command prompt
inside the Windows 3.0 screen group. (That is, no mouse-aware DOS
applications can use the mouse when run in this windowed command
prompt; it is not a limitation of NET.EXE.)
