- PREFACE:
- Well, after being out of the world of PCBoard utilities, doors, etc... I
- fineally got around to wakeing up! One thing I STILL hate is how every
- program I use has long, complicated docs... I am makeing this program
- as simple and easy to use as possible... Pay attention I'm gonna go
- fast now so read S L O W L Y .... <Grin>
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- o PCBoard BBS software (by Clark Development Company) USERNET.DAT vers.
- o The Network Eye (by Artisoft)
- o A COMPUTER!!!!!!! w/About 64K free memory...
- o You must make sure you give each computer in your LAN names that
- begin with NODExx... IE: so you can call then up via `TNE-USE NODE1'.
-
- DISCLAIMER:
- You use this program at your own risk, I assume NO responsibility <PERIOD>
-
- STARTING NODE WATCH:
- Node Watch is invoked by typing the program name, followed by the path
- and filename of the configuration file, and - IF you want - the number
- of nodes to monitor (Demo versions are limited to 3 nodes without having
- a temporary key).
-
- NWATCH.EXE F:\NW\NW.CFG 2
- ^ ^ ^
- | | |
- | | +-- OPTIONAL PARAMETER - Number of Nodes to Watch
- | |
- | +-- DRIVE:\PATH\FILENAME of Configuration File
- |
- +-- Program Name
-
- Included in the Zip of Node Watch you will see a file names NW.BAT that
- you may modify with any text editor to reflect your proper drive and
- path to the configuration file.
-
- THE CONFIGURATION FILE:
- The Node Watch configuration file is simple and can be created for you
- by useing the NWCONFIG.EXE program included in the zip.
-
- SAMPLE NW.CFG:
- Line 1: F:\NW\NW.KEY
- Line 2: F:\PCB\MAIN\USERNET.DAT
- Line 3: F:\PCB\MAIN\CALLER
- Line 4: 2
-
- Line 1: Path and filename of your .KEY file. If you did not yet
- register your copy of Node Watch and don't have a key, put a path
- and filename in here of an imaginary file - You can't substitute files!
- Just make sure something is here, even if the file doesn't exist and
- you'll be just fine...
- Line 2: Path and filename of USERNET.DAT file. This program ONLY
- supports USERNET.DAT (Up to /X99 version of PCBoard by CDC). We do not
- yet support any higher versions. If you require the use of USERNET.XXX
- then leave me a message in the support conference of my board about
- needing support for USERNET.XXX too...
- Line 3: Path and Filename of your callers log file. Multi-node systems
- will have a number at the end to signify what node the log is for.
- DO NOT INCLUDE THE NUMBER, just the PREFIX such as "CALLER" and 1, 2, 3,
- etc... will be appended by the program.
- Line 4: Delay between reads to the USERNET.DAT file. Slow systems should
- use a higher number, and vice-versa. Experiment. Must be between 1 - 20.
-
- NW.BAT:
- Included with the archive is a simple batch file that will allow you to
- run NodeWatch by typeing 'NW XX' where XX is the number of nodes to
- monitor or none for you default Max. Edit this batch file to reflect
- your path to NWATCH.EXE and NW.CFG...
-
- ACTION KEYS & BUTTONS:
- Here is a quick list of the keys available in NodeWatch:
-
- Keyboard commands....
-
- ENTER : Takes over the currently highlighted node.
- SPACE : Performs special functions - View Callers log, Stats, Etc...
- ARROWS : Moves the Highlighted box around.
- ESC : Exits NodeWatch.
-
- Mouse commands...
-
- LEFT BUTTON : Same as Enter: Takes over the currently highlighted node.
- RIGHT BUTTON : Same as Space: Performs special functions.
- MOVEING THE MOUSE : Moves the currently highlighted box's position.
-
- That's all there is to it! Simple enough???? <DUH>
-
- WOW!
- Now weren't those just the simplest instructions ever? Have fun... <G>
-
- SUPPORT:
- I have been running bulletin board for about 7 years. I am here to stay,
- and I have enough people to back me up on that. I will be here to help
- you with any problems, etc... for a LONG LONG LONG time...
