+ 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! Requirements +
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
- 32 bit TCP/IP stack.
- POP3 E-Mail Host in order to utilize the mail functions.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ Usage +
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
For any of the options, there needs to be AT LEAST an IP address OR
hostname listed in the 'IP/Host' block. If nothing is listed, then
SchizoPing! will not be able to perform any desired tasks.

+------------------------------------------------------------------+

in order to get to the specified host.
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ Time +
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Attempt to obtain GMT time from a specified server.
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
