NETWORK USERS:

The main thing you have to worry about on a network is to make sure that when MarxMenu creates a temporary batch file, that it is a different one for each user on the network.

This is handled several ways. If you are on a Novell network, MarxMenu uses your station number as part of the name for the temporary batch file. If you are not using Novell, then you will need to set an environment variable STATION for each workstation on your net. Each one has to be a different number.


Example:
SET STATION=5

You must ensure that the user has enough access rights to create temporary batch files in the directory selected for temporary batch files. One solution is to create a batch file directory and give all the users full access rights to it.

MarxMenu has been run on about every DOS based network that exists. If the network runs at all it will generally run MarxMenu. Among the networks that come to mind are Novell, LANtastic, Banyan, 3COM, Lan Manager, IBM, DECNET, ConCurrent DOS, PCMOS, and SCO VPIX. MarxMenu is running on networks as small as two users to as large as 20,000 users. In fact, the bigger your network, the more you need MarxMenu.

If you are running LANtastic and get a "sharing violation" error when two people try running the menu at the same time, try setting MARXMENU.OVR to READ ONLY.
