Summary:
On a Novell network, the PATH command will display logical drive
letters where you might expect to see directory names such as:
PATH=W:.;V:.;C:\BIN;C:\DOS;Z:.;Y:.;X:.
The path is searched in the same fashion as it would be under MS-DOS.
The difference is that logical drives are "mapped" to certain physical
directories (similar to the MS-DOS SUBST command). Therefore, each
logical drive letter is associated with a physical directory, and the
drive letter represents this directory in the path.
To determine the directories associated with the drive letters, the
MAP command must be used. This command will expand the logical drives
(listed above) to their mapped directories, as well as showing the
order in which they will be searched. The output of the MAP command
resembles the following:
Drive A: Maps to a local disk
Drive B: Maps to a local disk
Drive C: Maps to a local disk
Drive F: = SERVER1/SYS:C600
-------
SEARCH1: = W:. [SERVER1/SYS:C600/BIN]
SEARCH2: = V:. [SERVER1/SYS:C600/BINB]
SEARCH3: = C:\BIN
SEARCH4: = C:\DOS
SEARCH5: = Z:. [SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC]
SEARCH6: = Y:. [SERVER1/SYS:SYSTEM]
SEARCH7: = X:. [SERVER1/SYS:LOGIN]
See the Novell documentation concerning command-line utilities for
more information on the MAP command. The MAP command should be used
exclusively while operating on a Novell network in order to maintain
the desired drive/directory search order.
