Well, actually I don't need SYS$LOGIN, that will only get MY disk area,
I'm looking for a way to say from my account cd ~joeschmo and I need the
function to perform SET DEFAULT DISK$BLAH:[JOESCHMO]
mainly I need to find out what disk pack the user is on, and if they are in
a group, which group they are in, for example, an account might look like this
DISK$CS:[CSxxx.username]
I would need to be able to find the DISK$CS and the CSxxx
And thanks for the replies so far, but I willnot be able to get the sys admin
to install it for me to get sys privs for the program.
Thanks
