USING TRUENAME ON NETWORKS

Besides using drive letters, networks use a file and directory naming convention called TrueName. The MarxMenu TrueName function returns the true name of a file. TrueName files are specified as follows:

Microsoft Networks: \\SERVER\DIRECTORY\FILE

Novell Netware: \\SERVER\VOLUME\DIRECTORY\FILE

By using TrueNames you can specify files and directories on the network without having to map drive letters or make redirection list entries. If a TrueName of a string ends in a '\' then it is at the root directory.


Example:

   C:\                ;root of C
   \\TYME\SYS\        ;root of server
   \\TYME\SYS\PUBLIC  ;not root directory
