This is a special demo version of ACL Whacker™ 1.0.
What ACL Whacker 1.0™ does:
•ACL Whacker 1.0™ simplifies the actions required to create Access Lists for AppleTalk networks.
•Popup Menus and editable text allows easy editing of Network Access Lists.
•Compresses network number lists into as few numbers as possible.
•Reads TEXT documents that you create elsewhere and ACL Whacks™ them in seconds.
•Allows cut-n-paste so you can put the new ACL Whacked™ list into your favorite com package (cut and copy are disabled in this demo version).
•Saves ACL Whacked™ lists as text files for your future reference (saving files is disabled in this demo version).
To create a list, open an ACL Whacking™ document and choose the options (permit, deny, network, cable-range, includes, within, etc.) from the popup menus in the window. Defaults for the popup menus can be set in the preferences dialog. ACL Whacker™ 1.0 only deals with AppleTalk lists, so your access list numbers are required to remain between 600 and 699, inclusive. Clicking on the create button will make a new window and present the ACL Whacked™ Access List ready for saving or copying (saving and copying are disabled in this demo version).
