W-Net: A user-oriented network manager
The original version of this program was inspired by the DOS-base
program "ANET" by Robert S. Wagoner. Although no code was taken from his
program, I feel it is only fair to give him some credit. WNet is a simple
network resource manager that currently can do four (4) tasks: login, logout,
link, and unlink. A later version will probably have more options, a menu, a
help system, etc. but the current program will allow Lantastic users to
perform a few simple tasks without leaving Windows. If you have a better idea
for a network interface, send me a drawing, or prototype an application using
ToolBook, MS Visual Basic, etc. Also, if you can draw better than I can,
maybe someone could make some better icons. Any user of this software is
asked to send $5 or more to encourage me in writing a new version. If you
send money, please indicate whether you can accept 3.5" or 5.25" low or high
density disks, as I will be sending v2.0 to any donors. Future versions may
be marketed as true "ShareWare" where users are required to pay a registration
fee. The next page has a survey that you can send along with your requests,
suggestions or bug reports.
Requirements:
Lantasti Network Operating System
Windows 3.0 in Standard or Enhanced Mode
This program uses DPMI services to access the NetBIOS, and uses
calls from the TECH.ZIP file on the Lantastic BBS. The DPMI
specification came from the Intel BBS.
Problems with V1.0:
I haven't had any problems under ordinary circumstances, but
once or twice Windows complained about network process not
completed. I believe that was a result of someone rebooting
our network server ... (we have a very small network)
Problems with V1.01:
While not a problem, I changed the way I handle ICON drawing, and while
the current scheme is better, and is an approved method, I have not
implemented the "Drag Icon" logic. Thus, the program icon turns to a
white square while being moved.
Contact me at the address on the next page, or leave me a message
on the Lantastic BBS, 602-293-0065, User 'Roy Tate' as expected.
History:
V1.00 four functions available. They were login, logout, redirect and cancel redirection.
V1.01 added double click actions for each list box, changed icon drawing.
Future:
V2.00 redesign the interface to comply with the MDI standard, add significant functionality.
There will be at least six window types: Server (login/logout), Resource
(redirect/cancel redirection), Printer Queue (HALT/CANCEL/etc., change copies), Mail
Queue (send/receive/delete), Local Machine Status, and User Status (shows users
logged into a server, and I/O information).
