!NetConfig 0.2
26 July 1995
This is a beta test version of a program to set up the KA9Q (!TCPIP)-based
free Internet software. The idea is to provide a user-friendly interface to
guide the user through the various options and configuration information that
need to be specified, then to set up the individual applications (!SLIPdial,
!TCPIPUser, !Newsbase, !Newsdir and !TTFN) according to the information
given.
Before running it, you should copy !NetConfig into the same directory as
(clean) versions of !Newsbase, !SLIPdial, !TCPIP, !TCPIPUser and !TTFN as
delivered in the StarterPack version 1.2.
As this is a beta test version, you should expect that there may be a one
or two problems or areas which could be improved. Any comments, bug reports
etc. will be gratefully received; send them to colin@nyphot.demon.co.uk
By making the program modular, it should be simple to add other Internet
providers to those supported. Typically a module of only a few hundred bytes
and a few entries in the Messages file will be all that are needed. See the
file Docs.Provider, and the examples Lib.IFL and Lib.Zynet. A more
complicated example is in Lib.Demon; this uses most of the standard dialogs
but substitutes its own Account dialog, to allow for the option of dialling
in to set the password and fetch the IP address.
See the Docs directory for some more details. I'm afraid there's not much
documentation yet, but hopefully the code is not too obscure, and there are
even one or two REMs!
