- Haim's NETMeter 1.3 (Freeware)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- General description
-
- NetMeter is a small utility, which plots a real-time bar graph of actual
- transfer rate of your Internet connection. Its main features are:
-
- * Works with just any type of Internet connection, modem, ISDN, cable
- modem, you name it!
- * Automatically adjusts itself to your connection speed, the graph
- can up-scale and down-scale itself automatically.
- * Eats virtually no system resources. The EXE file size is just about
- 60 KB, it uses no huge DLLs and it does not load your CPU.
- * Easily configurable, size, position and colors of its window are
- saved in the registry and retained between sessions.
-
- System requirements
-
- * Windows 95 (currently does not work on NT, but an NT 4.0 version is
- planned as soon as I get the money for the larger hard disk and the
- time to mess with it. NEW: Version 1.3 is compatible with
- Windows 95 OSR2 and DUN 1.2.
- * Any type of TCP/IP connection, which works with the standard Windows
- Sockets. (T1, ISDN, cable modem, regular phone modem, etc.)
-
- Installation
-
- Currently, there's no automatic install or uninstall program. I'm
- planning to add one in the future. Meanwhile, simply copy the files
- NETMETER.EXE and NETMETER.TXT to some directory on your hard disk,
- make a shortcut to NETMETER.EXE and you're ready to go!
-
- End-user license
-
- I divide all users of my program into three categories:
-
- 1. System administrators, IT managers, all the people which job is
- computer communications and alike.
- You should e-mail me for the permission to use this program.
- Generally, it's given for free, but a small donation will certainly
- encourage me to continue the development. I'm looking for the new web
- housing for my pages, so if you have a few megs to spare, I'll be very
- glad to hear from you.
-
- 2. Administrators of various Internet shareware archives, Shareware
- CD-ROM creators, etc.
- Please e-mail me for the permission to put NetMeter or a link to it on
- your Web site, or to include it on your CD-ROM.
-
- 3. All the private users who do not fall into the first two categories.
- The permission to use NetMeter is given for free, but a small donation
- or a postcard with the view of your home city will be welcomed and
- appreciated.
-
- News and current issues
-
- * I'm looking for a new home for my web page. If you are a
- system administrator and like this program, PLEASE let
- me put my pages on your server, since the current one is
- very slow and will kick me out soon. Please e-mail me!
- * This program was named Dial-Up Connection meter, but
- since it works with ANY Internet connection, not only
- dial-up, I decided to rename it to NetMeter.

-
- If you find a bug, have an idea how to improve this program, or if
- you are just a happy user, please e-mail me. However, due to the high
- volume of the mail I receive and my tight schedule, I really cannot
- answer all the letters. I do read them all, though.
