Creating Menus
Converting Old Menu Files
3 Follow the same six steps explained in “Menu Creation Steps” in this chapter.
Example
To help you see the differences between MENU and NMENU files, Figure
6-11 shows a part of the file for the menu in Figure 6-3.
The figure shows both the .MNU and the unedited .SRC file formats. They
are shown side-by-side to help you make the comparison.
The “After Conversion (.SRC)” side has not yet been edited. Try to find
changes to make the file execute properly and efficiently. Look for
commands that are no longer supported in NetWare 4 and replace them with
appropriate commands. One example is SLIST, which must be replaced with
NLIST SERVER.
If you create your own file to test the .SRC file, remember to create some
text file(s) to be displayed by the TYPE command.
