 NETREDIR()
 Redirects a local device to a server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     NETREDIR(<cLocalDevice>, <cServerDevice>,
        [<cPassword>])    --> lRedirection

 Arguments

     <cLocalDevice>  Designates the name of the local device (LPTn:,
     PRN:, or d:).

     <cServerDevice>  Designates the complete path for the server
     (\\<Servername>\<Devicename>).

     <cPassword>  Can designate a password when it is required by the
     server.

 Returns

     NETREDIR() returns .T. when the specified local device has been
     redirected to the selected server device.

 Description

     NETWORK REDIRECTION
     Under PC LAN/MS-NET, server devices can be redirected to local devices
     using the NET USE <local> <remote> command.  Exactly the same thing can
     be accomplished using the NETREDIR() function from within an
     application.  The function returns .T. when the redirection has been
     carried out.  A return of .F. could occur for several reasons:

     .  The designated drive is not accepted.  Either this drive is
        already physically available or LASTDRIVE in CONFIG.SYS has to be set
        higher.

     .  The device is not available on the server.  Use NET SHARE on
        the selected server to review all the devices available there.

     .  The password is incorrect.  Check the password that the server
        has designated for the device.

     .  Too many devices have already been allocated.  In this
        instance you must change some of the flags with the NET START command
        (see PC LAN/MS-NET manual).

 Note

     .  The redirections accomplished here are not listed when you use
        NET USE.

 Examples

     .  Create a new drive H:

        ? NETREDIR("H:", "\\SERVER\DRIVEC")            // .T. if OK

     .  In this example, the server device asks for a password:

        ? NETREDIR("H:", "\\SERVER\DRIVEC", "SECRET")  // .T. if OK

     .  Allocate a server printer to LPT2:

        ? NETREDIR("LPT2:", "\\SERVER\PRINTER")        // .T. if OK
