Access the net, write mail, ftp, www and gopher from one window. You
can also use AmiTCPHelper to organise the various AmiTCP config files
including DialScript, .sig, config and newsgroups. Created with CanDO
v's 2.0 and 3.0 by Ben Vost. Comes with the necessary CanDo.library
v3.8. If your version of AmiTCPHelper is older than v1.16, you
*will* need this library...
History
-------
v1.20 Got rid of the clock tool, but replaced it with a traceroute function.
Added an installer script thanks to my ex-colleague Neil Mohr (nice one
Neil).
(29.VI.96)
v1.19 Added functionality to the lists window.
Internal tidying up.
Added standard version string (important for internal and registered
versions.
(31.V.96)
v1.18a Oops! V1.18 doesn't use the startnet script so it has to be started by
hand... whatta mistake-a to make-a. This fixes it...
(24.V.96)
v1.18 General tidying up. Also, I don't think many people had access to
v1.17, so this counts as a new public release.
I've also removed the time restriction as it made me seem petty. It was
only introduced because I was persuaded to do it...
Since iBrowse hit v6a it hasn't worked with AmiTCPHelper unless you
copy the libraries into LIBS:. This can't be changed for the moment, I
only suggest you add a new line to your user-startup that says:
"assign libs: XXX:iBrowseDemo add" where XXX: is wherever you've got
iBrowse stashed on your hard drive...
One last thing. I will be moving in the next week or so, so get in
touch with me via e-mail if you're thinking of registering...
(24.V.96)
v1.17 Removed the aliases and signature items from the edit menu
because they weren't editing the _correct_ alias and sig
files...
Added a check when you link down to see how many mails there
are remaining.
Implemented double clicking on one of the exclusive buttons
to start your defined editor for the particular file.
More internal tidying up (I've managed to free up several k's
worth of old routines that were no longer being used, but
that were still compiled into the program. Unfortunately,
adding new features increases the size again so the saving
doesn't really show...)
(28.II.96)
v1.16 Internal tidying up.
AmiTCPHelper now supports mail packages other than Elm.
Dos notify for mail messages implemented, but not to my
satisfaction. A tooltype will allow for the old method to be
resumed.
***IMPORTANT CHANGE*** AmiTCPHelper now only runs for ten
minutes before shutting down. Registering will remove this
restriction.
Other odds and sods improved like the appearance of the list
window and the mail out area.
(03.II.96)
v1.15 Bit of a change around for this version, no more text fields
for Ping, finger, etc., but a list of addresses which can be
freely edited. Bang goes the Newsgroup list, but if anyone
wants it back, I can still replace it.
(20.I.96)
v1.14 There was no version 1.13 but only because I don't like to
tempt fate :) v1.14 sees the addition of the Mailqueue clone
to the AmiTCPHelper window. At the moment this checks
uuspool: every five seconds to see if there is new mail or if
mail has been sent. It creates a text file in T: called
SpoolList, so if you find your DOpus constantly rereading T:
that is the reason.
Changed the About menu item back to the standard one, the one
in v1.12 was only for registered users.
Rewrote some of the documentation to stop it seeming so
dated.
Changed the way the mailboxes were checked and now the
requester will change dynamically if mailboxes are deleted.
In previous versions you had to restart AmiTCPHelper to see
any changes. The names in the requester are also now in
alphabetical order.
Internal simplification. I got rid of a couple of tooltypes
that didn't do anything along with their mentions in the
scripts.
(20.VII.95)
v1.12 Yet another rejig of the buttons as the Prefs and Read News
buttons have been removed. Not sure if I like the new layout
so it might get changed yet again...
I've added a DOSNotify event to check to see if a new mailbox
has been added when mail is received. Previously, the only
time AmiTCPHelper checked for the names of the mailboxes was
at startup.
One internal change with regard to how registered owners are
dealt with...
Dumped the Prefs page as being beyond my capabilities and
also a bit pointless.
(21.V.95)
v1.11 Changed the nasty mailbox requester to something a bit more
standard.
Removed the Newsgroups backup option at startup.
Added a tooltype to allow AmiTCPHelper's output window to be
sized and positioned where desired.
(23.IV.95)
v1.10 Added Telnet support (for completeness sake).
Added a new eight-colour (and four-colour) icon that freely
plagiarises the Xen style :)
More internal wrangling going on for the prefs page which
should be complete soon (maybe v1.12).
Added Startnet tooltype.
(11.IV.95)
v1.09 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.
(26.III.95)
v1.08 The Get News button now works! Hurrah!
v1.07 Changes made to the way Mail is dealt implemented in this
version.
v1.06 General tidying up.
Internal changes to the way mail is dealt with.
v1.051 Changed the buttons to four colour ones for the Amiga
Computing Cover disk.
v1.05 Made Mail detach when run from AmiTCPHelper.
Added the Clock function.
Took out the sound samples, they were taking up far too much
space. If anyone wants them back, I can put them in just for
you.
Changed the About message and added the CanDo about.
Fiddled about with Get News, it's still not quite ready, but
hopefully the next release should see that button enabled. (No
promises... :) )
v1.04 Added support for multiple newsgroups.
v1.03 Changed the shape of the window to make it easier to use Ping
and Finger.
Miscellaneous internal tidying up.
v1.02 Added support for Ping and Finger.
v1.01 Added support for user definable link command and options.
Added better support for AMHotlist.
Added Info menu item.
v1.0 First public release
