We are using NAL on public workstations, 2.01 will suffice but ZENworks will be much better. I was the first person to reverse engineer the .AOT file format and start writing utilities that extend it. In addition i've been playing with NAL 2.5 in my lab, and working with the NAL development team. I've already mentioned how nice it would be to have a kiosk mode for NAL which replaces your desktop. I'm going to Novells Brainshare conference next week, and after that i'll go ahead and author a whitepaper on how to use the features of NAL in a public environment if anybody is interested.

I sent this to the list once before, but I'm not sure if it made it
through.

Is anyone using the Novell Application Launcher (NAL) for Netware 4.x on
public workstations?

We're running a dos menuing system at the moment to serve up cdrom
databases, but we'll be moving to a Windows environment soon and NAL looks
interesting as a menu alternative for a windowed environment.  I'd be very
interested in any experiences anyone's had, positive or negative.

Thanks,
Mike
