Here is a revied, revised AmiTCPHelper announce that supercedes the one I just sent you... Ben 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.
