- 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
