[comp.sys.novell] Pconsole-How do we show more than one QUEUE?

gonzalm@prism.cs.orst.edu (Mario Gonzales) (04/30/91)

Hello Everyone:

I have the awsome task of finding out how to allow the users of our lab
to view more that one printers queue at a time without changing back and
forth between printers and displaying the queues.

I have been asked to write a program that would allow this to happen if
it possible but I don;t have the specs on novell to find this out--
any good books to look at??  

ANother non life threataning question is how do I get all the information
that NDIR provides you through Pascal or Assembly?  This would be very
useful for a program that I just wrote that uses a text file that was
piped the output of NDIR on a certain directory and acts on it but this
system is not very efficient.

All help will be greatly appreciated and if I get enough responses I
will post a summary to the NET.

Thanks a Million,

Mario L. Gonzales

How 'bout using Desqview and opening a coupl windows for 2 different
PCONSOLEs to run in?

Is that realistic? Or does the task of writing a program sound more 
appealing? :-)

Well, ok, if that doesn't work, you can always try and get in touch
with the Development Products Division of Novell based somewhere in Texas.

You can probably get the phone number by calling the main Novell 
switchboard number @ 1-800-LAN-KIND.

aloha,
