I have never found  "good" solution (although I'm sure you could write
something in C).  I create DOS Environment Variables based upon Novell
variables, and then let DOS use the DOS variables, such as:

How much RAM at workstation?
Is local printer attached?

All users share a login script and EXIT to a common .BAT file; all
told quite a few lines of code, but it pays off in remote
manageability.
