  Introduction:
 Tango is the eqvivalent of the Network icon in windows.
 With Tango you get "easy to use" file and printer sharing between networked computers
 running "microsoft network" compatible software.
 In short you can by point'n click share files between networked computers running
 almost any OS.

 More exactly Tango is a gui for samba and smb-handler.
 It's works mostly by passing dos-comands ( Not a very elegant programming teqnic but a 
 normal user would never see the diffrence).


Locale: As for now "�eta", Tango does not have a internal catalog. So if your language isn't supported you need to add one that is to Prefs:locales. Tango is more or less fully loaliced, but all locales are not updated. If you should wish to make locales for other languages or update the current, write me and get the locale-development-pack. I have no use for "hacked" locales as I then must retype them. Do not upload locales yourself.. Send them to me and I'll include them in the archive with credit. (Don't litter aminet with locales.) Futures: Browse "microsoft network" shares. Search computers. Buildt in filehandler with basic commands, ( Copy, Rename, Makedir, Delete ) or open the shares in a Shell/ OS3.5 window/ Magellan lister. Automaticly mounts/un-mounts shares. Mounts printers and let you set/change a "default" printer. May be iconified at startup. Tango does not handle passwords, but user-independent passwords are handeld by smb-handler, observe that smbhanndler does not encrypt the passwords. Requirements: Needs: MUI - Magic User Interface. Mui is � by Stefan Stuntz. NList.mcc � 1996-1998 Gilles Masson Samba (tested with Samba2.0.6 from aminet) SMB-Handler (tested with version 0.12�). "Samba:bin/Die" from the SMB-Handler archive. Another version of SMB-Handler is in the SMB-Connect archive. Tcp/IP (Miami/Amitcp, wo) OpenURL.library The above programs correctly installed and configured. Tcp/ip up and running, prefably autostarted at boot. Some standard workbench programs: C:Copy C:Makedir C:Delete C:Rename C:List C:Status C:Break C:Protect C:Mount Sys:tools/cmd Sys:Rexxc/RX Installation: The installer installs to Samba:, and that is where it need to bee. You might want to read the Locale section berore you install. Credits : Thanks to: Wouter for amiga-E. Stefan Stuntz for mui. Gilles Masson for NList.mcc. Piru, Trekkie and Linkan for help, �-testing and suggestions. Some people for locales (lost the names). Legal: All files included in this archive is �S�ren Forsberg 1999. They may be distributed freely as the complete archive. Bugs/ Problems : Well probably.. I'm not that good a programmer, but there should be no fatal ones. Bug-reports / Suggestions can be e-mailed to me. Do not send bug-reports concerning problems caused by Samba or Smb-handler or the general missbehavior of a microsoft network. I will not reply to problems caused by you not reading the manuals for any of the required programs, so if you don't get a reply within 2 weeks* it's equal to "RTFM". *(June-August it's 2 months.) Don't connect to yourself on share "All". (This seems to be a problem for SMB-Handler) Not entirely "idiot-proof". Suppose something stupid may happen if you stress the gui. Max network-path about 280 chars. May be shorter due to limitations in smb-handler. "_" and "$" can not be used in hostnames or shares, also "." may not be used in hostnames. Tested on: A1200T-AGA/ OS3.5 CD32-SX1/ Magellan A1200/ OS3.0 Disclaimer: If you are the kind of person who would dry your cat in a microwave-owen then this is definitley for you. ( If you are north-american you should read it anyhow) Blabla, this program may destroy something, bla bla,Use at own risk, do di didum. (Is the above shit really neccesary?)
