with PdoxDOS, if Username is filled in, in the CCP, that's what you get.. if
it's blank, and Network Type in Nupdate is Novell, you'll get the Novell
Username.. if Network Type is Other, you will *not* get the Novell
Username..

Bingo. Thanks, Steve. PdoxDOS is installed on each C: drive. Some are

configured with Network Type as Novell, and some as Other. I read
somewhere, in this forum probably, that Other is preferred -- what do you
recommend?

the only real reason to use Network Type "Novell" is if you want the network
username.. otherwise, it doesn't matter..

in my apps, it doesn't matter.. the CCP Username tells me the machine being used,
and the user login tells me the user..
