-
- (Released 2/19/97)

-
-
- 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 /comm/net
- on Aminet.
-
- New for version 1.70:
-
- 1.70 : (Public Release 2/18/97)
- - Added the "View By" submenu, and the "VIEWBY" ToolType. Now you
- can identify other hosts by their login name or their real name,
- instead of just by their host name.
- - Added the VIEWBY argument to the "set" ARexx command.
- - Disabling QAmiTrack now logs you out of the server, instead of
- just making you invisible.
- - A plus symbol is now listed in the third column of entries for
- clients who have their QAmiTrack window open.
- - Added the "VISIBLETO" ToolType, which allows you to choose which
- other clients can see that you are online.
- - Rewrote the ACTION "ToolTypes" to handle more substitution sequences.
- - Added the VIEWBY, VISIBLETO, USERNAME, USERNAMES, REALNAME, REALNAMES,
- and WINOPEN argument to the "get" ARexx command.
- * The QAmiTrack window now consistantly re-opens where it was last placed.
- (Before it would only do this if you had resized it after moving it)
- * QAmiTrack no longer brings up "Please insert volume SPEAK:"
- requesters on systems that do not have the SPEAK: device mounted.
- * QAmiTrack is no longer quite as agressive about reconnecting
- after it has been disconnected. It will now wait for up to one
- reconnect period before trying again.
