LCHECK.EXE Version 1.1 is a free upgrade to registered users of LCHECK.EXE
Version 1.0.  See version enhancements/fixes/bugs at end of this readme file
for change summary.

LCHECK.EXE only works on NOVELL networks.  It can check whether IPX has been
loaded.  If IPX is not loaded it will return a DOS ERRORLEVEL of (1).  It can
check whether an object (normally user) has successfully logged into the
network.  If an object is not logged it will return a DOS ERRORLEVEL of (2).

So?

These errorlevels can be used in batch files to branch on certain conditions.
Lets say you have the computer setup with an autoexec.bat file that logs a
person into the network when the machine boots up.  If the user mistypes
their name or password the autoexec.bat will just fall through and the user
may wind up a the DOS prompt or wherever and be frustrated.  You can put
LCHECK.EXE on their computer and modify the autoexec.bat to test for an
errorlevel of 2 and branch back to the login call until they get it right.

example:   AUTOEXEC.BAT contain following:
           path .....
           GOTO LOGIN
           :LOGIN
           F:LOGIN <fileserver>/<username>
           LCHECK
           IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO LOGIN
           MENU

In the example the LOGIN section would keep looping until they got it right
then it would continue on to load menu.

LCHECK ? will give a simple help screen.

This should give you an idea of how to use LCHECK.  It has saved me hours
of headaches and lessoned the number of phone calls from users.  I don't
guarantee that it'll do anything for you, but give it a try.  If you need
different errorlevels set please register and tell me what you would like.
I'm open to suggestions.  Any questions, problems, or requests can be mail
to the aforementioned address or you can reach me on CompuServe, 70045,1160.
