+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + SchizoPing! v1.0 + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ SchizoPing! IS the premier network utility. It encompasses the basic troubleshooting tools like Ping, Trace Route, and NSLookup as well as some other advanced features like: - Check POP3 mail accounts and obtain a the number of messages waiting on the server, review all the headers of those messages, view a specific message in simple text format, delete all messages, or delete specific messages. - Send e-mail using a very basic interface. - Finger client. - Obtain time from a timeserver. - Store an unlimited number of hosts, IP addresses, user names and passwords in the Host Manager database. - Never get your connection bumped with the SchizoAlive! function. - Logging of all transactions. - Detailed and Verbose output listings. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Latest Version + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+ + What Is New In SchizoSigz! v1.0 + +------------------------------------------------------------------+ - Completely rewritten interface as well as new code. - Verbose or detailed output. - Finger client. - Ability to view a specific message that is waiting on a POP3 server. - Ability to send e-mail using SMTP. - Changed the way SchizoAlive! (formerly ISPAlive!) works. Now it logs on to an ftp site instead of sending ICMP packets. Some ISP's check for ICMP packets and will still kick a connection if that is the only traffic being generated. - Added the ability to perform some basic configuration options. - Rewrote the whole Host Manager code. Now, everything is stored in the Windows registry. This improves speed and accuracy. - Added the ability to ping/trace a list of IP addresses. - Added floating toolbars. - SchizoPing! now minimizes to the system tray. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Unresolved Issues + +------------------------------------------------------------------+ There are a quite a few features that have not made it into this release due to a number of different issues. However, since v1.0 is such a dramatic change, it is being released without these features. The following is a list of features that will be in the next version of SchizoPing!: - Asynchronous, non-blocking, winsock calls. Right now all the calls are blocking, thus there is a noticable speed degredation. All calls will be asynchronous, and non-blocking in the next release. - The ability to browse the list of domain names. So, if you wanted to search for all domain names that being with NET, you will be able to do that. This is an odd way of expressing this function, but, in the next version it will be quite apparent. - Port scanner. Ability to see what connections can be made to a host on what ports. - Windows based help file. Right now I am struggling with putting together a windows help file. Word 97 is not the best rich test format writter, so, therefore, I am taking my time in locating a program that can do the job decently. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + SchizoSigz!
