NetInfo ======= NetInfo is a little network utility which provides GUI driven access to some standard network services. It can also be controlled via ARexx for easy integration which other applications. The output window provides cut&paste to the clipboard. NetInfo is (C) 1997 Oliver Wagner , All Rights Reserved. It is shareware, and is provided as a free add-on to users who already registered Voyager-NG, AmIRC or AmTALK. To make the startup information requester go away, simply copy your Voyager, AmIRC or AmTALK keyfile into the NetInfo directory, or S: or KEYFILES: NetInfo works with Miami, AmiTCP and in a limited fashion with as225/cpr225/inet225 TCP/IP stacks. Due to the outdated implementation of the BSD socket API in the as225 based TCP/IP stacks, the "Traceroute" query may fail. Query types ----------- The following query types are understood by NetInfo: 1. Lookup Does a DNS lookup on the provided name and prints out canonical name, aliases and IP numbers. 2. Finger Does the standard finger lookup. 3. WHOIS Does a WHOIS database lookup. If no host is specified, queries rs.internic.net. 4. Traceroute Performs a UDP TTL exceed trace route. 5. PING Performs a ICMP_ECHO round trip timing. 6. Services Scans the given host for a set of standard TCP services, and prints some information about the server if available. Arexx ----- To use a query form ARexx, simply use "query what". For example, to do a PING on www.vapor.com: ADDRESS NETINFO.1 'PING www.vapor.com' Buttons ------- The button imagery is loaded at run time from the directory "PROGDIR:ButtonImages". You can fill in your own (8 Bit) IFF files there if you want to modify the look. If NetInfo is unable to find those files, standard textual buttons are used.
