Short: (B)GUI front-end for NapsaTerm
Uploader: M.Tjoelker@mpn.cp.philips.com (Menno Tjoelker)
Author: Jilles Tjoelker
Type: comm/tcp
Requires: bgui.library V37+, AmiTCP/IP
NapsaTerm is a nice program, but it can't be started from Workbench or put in
ToolManager docks without fixing it on one host. This is a solution. It opens
a window where you can select a host and then starts NapsaTerm with it. You
can also choose between RLogin (-D NET) and TelNet (-D TELNET) services.
With RLogin you do not have to type in your user name, but it is not
supported/allowed everywhere.
There is no direct proxy support (i.e. select an address outside the Intranet
in the GUI and not the proxy) - I would have to write a new RLogin/TelNet
client for that :-(
Source in AmigaE included.
Explanation of gadgets:
* Select a host in the List gadget. You can also use the arrow keys. A double
click on an entry or RETURN starts a TelNet session.
* Change the hostname in the Name gadget. After RETURN: If it is not in the
list a requester will pop up asking you if you want to add the hostname
and start a TelNet session or change the name. If it is in the list a TelNet
session will be started.
* RLogin and TelNet buttons: start the session
* Cancel: quit without starting NapsaTerm
Menus:
* Edit hostnames: Edit the "hostnames" file with $EDITOR or ED. The editor
will be started synchronously, and must not return before you have finished
editing (CygnusED: use ED -s).
* Start session: these correspond to the buttons
* Cancel: quit without starting NapsaTerm
