TITLE
AmiTCPHelper
VERSION
Version 1.09
AUTHOR
Ben Vost. email me at: Ben@subway.demon.co.uk
DESCRIPTION
AmiTCPHelper is a button-based front end for Internet
operations. You can use it to link up, link down, read and
send mail, FTP, browse the Web and use Gopher. In addition to
these features, you can also use Ping and Finger and
synchronise your computer's clock to another machine.
AmiTCPHelper also lets you select between different
newsgroups and also lets you edit important files without you
having to go looking for them (ie. your dialscript,
datestamp, newsgroups, aliases, etc.). AmiTCPHelper is
very configurable letting you set its window position and what
programs you want to use for all its features.
NEW FEATURES
New to version 1.09 are the following features:
Added startnet script editing in the Edit menu.
Added IRC and Prefs buttons to the interface which has been
jiggled to fit the new buttons in without requiring more
space. The Prefs button doesn't work at the mo, but will
eventually let you edit TCP-related ENV variables and the
co-ordinates and size of the windows that AmiTCPHelper opens
amongst other things.
The Get News button now works! Hurrah!
Multiple mail folders. If you have more than one mail
folder, AmiTCPHelper asks which one you wish to enter.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The only special requirement I can think of is the fact that you
really need AmiTCP to use this tool, but just so you know, it
has been tested on a PAL Amiga 3000T which PicassoII, 2MB Chip,
16MB Fast, blah, blah...
AVAILABILITY
AmiTCPHelper is available on the Aminet in two versions. One
version is for people who don't have CanDo.library v 3.6 the
other is for people who do have it (if you already have the
library, then you can get the NoLb version):
ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/comms/tcp/TCPHelp109.lha(130544)
ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/comms/tcp/TCPHelp109NoLb.lha(13394)
PRICE
AmiTCPHelper is nominally shareware, although nothing has
been disabled and there are no annoying requesters. The fee
is 10 UK Pounds.
DISTRIBUTABILITY
AmiTCPHelper is copyright Ben Vost 1995. It's shareware fee
is 10 UK Pounds. AmiTCPHelper comes with CanDo.library version 3.6
which is copyright Inovatronics.
OTHER
AmiTCPHelper was written (using CanDo) for use with Demon
Internet Services dialup account facility but with a bit of
tweaking it should work with any account provider. Please
send me details if you want AmiTCPHelper to work with a
different account provider's setup.
