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
