Short: Online Amiga tracker, needs AMarquee.lib Author: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner) Uploader: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner) Version: 1.70 Type: comm/net Replaces: comm/net/QAmiTrack1.60.lha Requires: Workbench 2.04+, AmiTCP3.0b+ ---------------------------------------------------------------- QAmiTrack 1.70 (Released 2/19/97) ---------------------------------------------------------------- QAmiTrack is a remake of AmiTrack, that uses amarquee.library and the AMarquee server program to provide several new features over the old version. Like the old AmiTrack, QAmiTrack lets you advertise your Amiga's presence on the 'net, and see who else is on line. Also like AmiTrack, QAmiTrack has an ARexx interface and allows you to automatically connect to other clients using a user-customizable cycle-gadget full of programs. Unlike AmiTrack, QAmiTrack does not require you to wait 5 minutes or click a "refresh" button in order to see updates to the list. Instead, all updates to the list are forwarded to your Amiga as soon as they occur. Furthermore, QAmiTrack adds the ability to track how long it has been since an entry has changed, and which users have their QAmiTrack window open. Each entry in the ListView displays the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last update to that entry, and users whose QAmiTrack windows are currently open have a plus sign next to that number. With this, you always have a good idea of which computer users are actually looking at their QAmiTrack window, and which are off doing something else. NOTE: QAmiTrack is a new, separate database from the AmiTrack database. Thus, if you log in to a server with QAmiTrack and your friend logs in with AmiTrack, you will not see each other! So encourage your friends to upgrade to QAmiTrack ASAP. NOTE #2: QAmiTrack requires amarquee.library to be installed in your LIBS: directory. Amarquee.library is available in the AMarquee distribution archive, in /comm/net on Aminet. New for version 1.70: 1.70 : (Public Release 2/18/97) - Added the "View By" submenu, and the "VIEWBY" ToolType. Now you can identify other hosts by their login name or their real name, instead of just by their host name. - Added the VIEWBY argument to the "set" ARexx command. - Disabling QAmiTrack now logs you out of the server, instead of just making you invisible. - A plus symbol is now listed in the third column of entries for clients who have their QAmiTrack window open. - Added the "VISIBLETO" ToolType, which allows you to choose which other clients can see that you are online. - Rewrote the ACTION "ToolTypes" to handle more substitution sequences. - Added the VIEWBY, VISIBLETO, USERNAME, USERNAMES, REALNAME, REALNAMES, and WINOPEN argument to the "get" ARexx command. * The QAmiTrack window now consistantly re-opens where it was last placed. (Before it would only do this if you had resized it after moving it) * QAmiTrack no longer brings up "Please insert volume SPEAK:" requesters on systems that do not have the SPEAK: device mounted. * QAmiTrack is no longer quite as agressive about reconnecting after it has been disconnected. It will now wait for up to one reconnect period before trying again. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1188 640 46.1% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 QAmiTrack.info 628 276 56.0% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +ARexx.info 1298 498 61.6% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +TestTrackRexx.rexx 43712 23573 46.0% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +QAmiTrack 29096 10663 63.3% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +QAmiTrack.guide 1542 1096 28.9% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +QAmiTrack.guide.info 2328 1377 40.8% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +QAmiTrack.info 628 276 56.0% 19-Feb-97 23:29:56 +source.info 1569 421 73.1% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +dmakefile 753 343 54.4% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +QAmiTrack.arb 60906 18251 70.0% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +qamitrack.c 2290 902 60.6% 19-Feb-97 23:30:00 +QAmiTrack.h 7634 2744 64.0% 19-Feb-97 23:29:56 +QAmiTrackShared.c 3822 1374 64.0% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +QAmiTrackShared.h 15927 4873 69.4% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +TrackRexx.c 3501 1125 67.8% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +TrackRexx.h 1862 822 55.8% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +TrackRexx_rxcl.c 11877 3043 74.3% 19-Feb-97 23:29:56 +trackrexx_rxif.c 350 198 43.4% 19-Feb-97 23:29:58 +TrackRexx_rxif.h -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 190911 72495 62.0% 20-Feb-97 11:26:38 19 files
