AmNetController
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pre-Release, Unfinished demo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just run the installer program.  It is not complete but it will install
the AmNetControl Package and install a default configuration.  


Usage
~~~~~
Usage is pretty simple, miami can be made to auto run and iconify. you then
just click on on-line to go online etc..  your programs can be launched
from the buttons.  There are some help features on the pull down menus.





Things not working yet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AmNetController is nearly finished although...

* You can only launch CLI programs.  Although it is possible to launch
  DOS and Arexx Scripts using a line such as
  
  'C:RX <Arexx script>'
  or
  'C:Execute <DOS script>'
 
* The Installers for AmIRC etc.. are not in yet

* AutoDoAll does not work.  Will be fixed in next version.

Everything else should work



The finished product will have a better installer and give options to add
your own programs etc..

History
~~~~~~~
29.12.96 .090b Initial release


29.12.96 .091b - Fixed archiving errors and tidied up a little.

04.01.97 .096b - Fixed AboutMUI and MUIConfig Menus
                
               - Removed Miami QUIT Button.  Not Needed.
            
               - Changed Close gadget to Iconify to avoid
                 unwanted shutdowns.

               - Fixed stupid user program Hide bug.
 
               - Added Username, Password and ftp Download Drawer to
                 Prefs/Thor

               - Getmail, Get News, Send Events & DoAll now implemented.

               - Appicon is now always AmNetControllers Icon.
               
               - Added User-Startup And User-Exit to allow custom startups
                 for servers, phone loggers etc...  The default editor 
                 can be changed in the prefs and there is 2 new menu items
                 for editing scripts.
 
                
08.01.97 .097b - Added Bubblehelp and removed Bubblehelp button.
                 Bubblehelp can be disabled via the MUI Preferences.

               - All thor buttons except auto-doall now work.  But they
                 need testing.

               - TELNET: assign replaced with more useful 'MISC:' assign.

               - Added Custom Written MUI Based Installer(0.5ß).  This, 
                 for me, has more virsatility for messing with my configs
                 etc.

               - Currently using MagicWB icons from Aminet.  I Really need
                 my own icons!

09.01.97 .098b - Fixed bugs in AmNetController when no config is available.

               - Added more features to Installer including Partial Config
                 Manipulation (ooh big words!)


NOTICE
~~~~~~
I am making a public request for Icon Artists to design some icons for
The AmNetController package.  I Would Like a plain icon, MWB icon and
NewIcons Icon.  Also, If you can do a better logo that i have done, send it
to me.  You will be credited in the About requester and the Documents.
