Short: Button-based internet tools. Author: ben@subway.demon.co.uk Uploader: ben@subway.demon.co.uk Type: comm/tcp Access the net, write mail, ftp, www and gopher from one window. You can also use AmiTCPHelper to organise the various AmiTCP config files including DialScript, .sig, config and newsgroups. Created with CanDO v's 2.0 and 3.0 by Ben Vost. Comes with the necessary CanDo.library v3.6. History ------- v1.14 There was no version 1.13 but only because I don't like to tempt fate :) v1.14 sees the addition of the Mailqueue clone to the AmiTCPHelper window. At the moment this checks uuspool: every five seconds to see if there is new mail or if mail has been sent. It creates a text file in T: called SpoolList, so if you find your DOpus constantly rereading T: that is the reason. Changed the About menu item back to the standard one, the one in v1.12 was only for registered users. Rewrote some of the documentation to stop it seeming so dated. Changed the way the mailboxes were checked and now the requester will change dynamically if mailboxes are deleted. In previous versions you had to restart AmiTCPHelper to see any changes. The names in the requester are also now in alphabetical order. Internal simplification. I got rid of a couple of tooltypes that didn't do anything along with their mentions in the scripts. (20.VII.95) v1.12 Yet another rejig of the buttons as the Prefs and Read News buttons have been removed. Not sure if I like the new layout so it might get changed yet again... I've added a DOSNotify event to check to see if a new mailbox has been added when mail is received. Previously, the only time AmiTCPHelper checked for the names of the mailboxes was at startup. One internal change with regard to how registered owners are dealt with... Dumped the Prefs page as being beyond my capabilities and also a bit pointless. (21.V.95) v1.11 Changed the nasty mailbox requester to something a bit more standard. Removed the Newsgroups backup option at startup. Added a tooltype to allow AmiTCPHelper's output window to be sized and positioned where desired. (23.IV.95) v1.10 Added Telnet support (for completeness sake). Added a new eight-colour (and four-colour) icon that freely plagiarises the Xen style :) More internal wrangling going on for the prefs page which should be complete soon (maybe v1.12). Added Startnet tooltype. (11.IV.95) v1.09 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. (26.III.95) v1.08 The Get News button now works! Hurrah! v1.07 Changes made to the way Mail is dealt implemented in this version. v1.06 General tidying up. Internal changes to the way mail is dealt with. v1.051 Changed the buttons to four colour ones for the Amiga Computing Cover disk. v1.05 Made Mail detach when run from AmiTCPHelper. Added the Clock function. Took out the sound samples, they were taking up far too much space. If anyone wants them back, I can put them in just for you. Changed the About message and added the CanDo about. Fiddled about with Get News, it's still not quite ready, but hopefully the next release should see that button enabled. (No promises... :) ) v1.04 Added support for multiple newsgroups. v1.03 Changed the shape of the window to make it easier to use Ping and Finger. Miscellaneous internal tidying up. v1.02 Added support for Ping and Finger. v1.01 Added support for user definable link command and options. Added better support for AMHotlist. Added Info menu item. v1.0 First public release Contact ben@subway.demon.co.uk for bouquets and brickbats... ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 19916 5333 73.2% 20-Jul-95 19:12:10 +AmiTCPHelper 2030 1303 35.8% 20-Jul-95 19:12:38 +AmiTCPHelper.info 193212 117261 39.3% 12-Dec-94 23:16:42 +cando.library 15712 6422 59.1% 20-Jul-95 18:45:26 +Docsv1.14 523 268 48.7% 24-Feb-95 21:30:14 +Docsv1.14.info 2707 1305 51.7% 26-Mar-95 02:41:52 +nntptransfer 566 324 42.7% 20-Jul-95 18:52:06 AmiTCPHelper1.14.info 1123 750 33.2% 31-Mar-95 16:25:44 +AmiTCPHelper.4colour.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 235789 132966 43.6% 31-Jul-95 15:12:52 8 files
