Today's focus: Hungary's 'ultimate' file manager for NetWare
By Dave Kearns
In our never-ending search to find the best third-party tools to
help you manage and maintain your NetWare network, we've
literally gone all over the world.
<aside> While I have traveled a lot, it really wasn't in search
of utilities. That search was conducted online and through
e-mail. When I say "literally" I use it in its modern sense,
according to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English
Language, Fourth Edition:
"USAGE NOTE: For more than a hundred years, critics have
remarked on the incoherency of using literally in a way that
suggests the exact opposite of its primary sense of 'in a manner
that accords with the literal sense of the words.' In 1926, for
example, H.W. Fowler cited the example 'The 300,000 Unionists
... will be literally thrown to the wolves.' The practice does
not stem from a change in the meaning of literally itself - if
it did, the word would long since have come to mean 'virtually'
or 'figuratively' - but from a natural tendency to use the word
as a general intensive, as in 'They had literally no help from
the government on the project,' where no contrast with the
figurative sense of the words is intended.
Just in case you thought I was misusing the word! </aside>
For this week's entry, I wandered around Hungary (at least
virtually) to try to understand what CNW Rendszerintegrációs Rt.
is, or what it does. Unfortunately, there are few (if any)
Hungarian-English translators available on the Web and I wasn't
going to spend hours with a dictionary trying to work it out.
Fortunately, the part we're interested in is in English.
CNW Commander V2.25 <http://www.cnw.hu/ccnlm> describes itself
as "the ultimate file manager of the NetWare server console" (I
didn't say it was perfect English).
What can you do with CNW Commander? Among other things, you can:
* Perform NDS and bindery authentication to remote servers.
* Work with both local and remote volumes.
* Access the local SYS:_NETWARE directory.
* Work on local DOS drives.
* Handle DOS and LONG names.
* Copy, rename and/or move directories and files.
* Transfer LONG name, flags, rights, ownership, and directory
space restriction.
* Preserve compression during any change.
* Create and delete directories.
* Set/unset flags for directories and files.
* View and edit files (without the limitations of EDIT.NLM).
* Zip/unzip by using HRZIP.NLM/HRUNZIP.NLM.
* Compare files by content.
* Split a file or join files together.
It will also allow you to view:
* History and favorites.
* Directory and file information.
* Open file information.
* Volume information.
* Server information.
CNW Commander is fully cluster compatible and, according to the
readme document <http://www.cnw.hu/readme.html> :
"The CNW Commander has been tested in the following OS
environments:
- NetWare OES
- NetWare 6.5 (with or without NW65SP3)
- NetWare 6 (with or without NW6SP5)
- NetWare 5.1 (with or without NW51SP8)
- NetWare 5 (with or without NW5SP6A)
- NetWare 4.11/4.2 (with or without NW4SP8A or NW4SP9)
It can be run (but has not been tested) on
- NetWare 4.10
- NetWare 4.0x
It can't be run on NetWare 3.x."
CNW Commander is shareware. Licenses start at $96 for one server
up to $1,008 for a site license. Download it
<http://www.cnw.hu/cc.zip> and try it out, then register it if
you like it. I especially wonder about one feature, which the
documentation describes as "restart local server in a brutal
way." Like I said, it's not perfect English.
