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
