- NetWize v0.9 - AN APPLETALK MANAGER FOR THE MACII
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Since a lot of people have asked for the MacII version even before it
- was completed I decided to release it in this state. It is mostly
- functional,those bits which don't for one reason or another, have had their
- menu's disabled. This is not a feature that you will have topay to get hold
- of its just that they are not properly completed yet to my satrisfaction. You
- may think that most of this is unsatifactory, well you have your opinion
- I've got mine.
-
- There is a simple online HELP system provided, but functions mainly to
- state what is available and what is not. What is available I hope you have
- fun with, ie Network maps, Internet Lists, ECHO that works, Node Histories,
- Zone Statistics, Responder etc.
-
- One note though, the Network Maps (in PICT format) places alongside of
- network number a statement of what protocol type is being used, these notes
- were generated as guidlines and are not to be taken literally. The guidlines
- I used was as follows, I shall be providing a method for you to change these
- guidlines to suit your network scheme:
-
- Network numbers less than 256 are violations
- Network numbers between 257 and 511 are IP Talk
- Network numbers between 512 and 767 are EtherTalk Phase 1
- Network numbers between 768 and 1023 are EtherTalk Phase 2
- Network numbers greater than 1023 are LocalTalk
-
-
- There are a lot of hidden facets to this program that are not imediatly apparent,
- ie. lots of text files are generated and by altering these you can get the NetWize
- tobehave in different ways. For an example of the latter statement you can change via
- and editor, I strongly suggest SigmaEdit (its neat, its simple and does exactly what
- I wany) but others will dojust fine, the ordering of the contents of the ZoneList file
- so that when you do an Internet List or a Network Map, the output is in that order.

-
- Once again thanks for all the kind words in tha past year for ATM v04 and v05.
