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to the outdated implementation of the BSD socket API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.
NetInfo has the following features:
Use of MUI makes it very configurable.
Host & Query saving.
Compatable with TCP/IP stacks !
Ability to abort queries at any time.
Arexx Ports available
Copy to clipboard facility
Very easy to use
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.
