Uploader: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)

Requires: Workbench 2.04+, AmiTCP3.0b+, amarquee.library v41+
----------------------------------------------------------------
QAmiTrack 1.80
(Released 4/9/97)
----------------------------------------------------------------
QAmiTrack is a remake of AmiTrack, that uses amarquee.library
and the AMarquee server program to provide several new features
over the old version.
Like the old AmiTrack, QAmiTrack lets you advertise your Amiga's
presence on the 'net, and see who else is on line. Also like
AmiTrack, QAmiTrack has an ARexx interface and allows you to
automatically connect to other clients using a user-customizable
cycle-gadget full of programs.
Unlike AmiTrack, QAmiTrack does not require you to wait 5
minutes or click a "refresh" button in order to see updates
to the list. Instead, all updates to the list are forwarded
to your Amiga as soon as they occur.
Furthermore, QAmiTrack adds the ability to track how long
it has been since an entry has changed, and which users have
their QAmiTrack window open. Each entry in the ListView
displays the number of minutes that have elapsed since the
last update to that entry, and users whose QAmiTrack windows
are currently open have a plus sign next to that number.
With this, you always have a good idea of which computer
users are actually looking at their QAmiTrack window,
and which are off doing something else.
NOTE: QAmiTrack is a new, separate database from the AmiTrack
database. Thus, if you log in to a server with QAmiTrack
and your friend logs in with AmiTrack, you will not see
each other! So encourage your friends to upgrade to
QAmiTrack ASAP.
NOTE #2: QAmiTrack requires amarquee.library to be installed
in your LIBS: directory. Amarquee.library is available
in the AMarquee distribution archive, in the file
/comm/net/AMarquee1.40.lha on Aminet.
New for version 1.80:
1.80 : (Public Release 4/9/97)
- Now uses the asynchronous connect feature of amarquee.library v41,
so that the GUI no longer freezes while connecting to a server.
- Now does speech output in a separate thread, so that the QAmiTrack
GUI does not freeze when the speech synthesizer is speaking.
