I recommend you read the *WHOLE* of this Guide before you run this tool. This Professional Tool is a Replacement for CNet`s "WHo" command, Which allows auto updating instead of having to type WHo every second. You can also configure it very easily with its built in Visual Editor. If you have more than one node this Tool will be used to its full potential, making users life hell of lot easier, but if you only have one node, it`s still better than the standard WHo :). This program has been tested on the following machines sucessfully:- Amiga 4000/040/26MEG RAM - CNet 4.26e <-- Mine :) Amiga 4000/030 - CNet 3.05 Amiga 2000 - CNet 4.26 Amiga 1200/030 - CNet 3.05 Amiga 1200 - CNet 3.05 If you find that this program does not work on your computer then please inform me! @ENDNODE @NODE "COPYRIGHT" "Copyright" This Professional Tool is Copyright (C)1997 by Trebor.
