NetNames(tm) is a simple to use network diagnostic utility that displays named devices on AppleTalk. NetNames has been on many 'Best Newton Shareware' lists.It is useful for: - Network system administrators to troubleshoot AppleTalk networks. - Newton users trying to print or use the Connection Kit over an unknown network.Tech Note:In order for NTK, the Connection Kit, or the Newton Package Downloader to display an AppleTalk name, they must be setup for AppleTalk and be "waiting for the Newton". Otherwise they will not register their name on the network, and NetNames will not see them.The idea for NetNames came from John Bennison's "Who's On" cdev.Thanks also to Neil, Julie, Kent, Zz, and Steve.--------------------------------------------------------Release Notes:V 0.9 Original release November 1993V 0.91 Added viewJustify to the buttons that I had over looked. Now NetNames looks better on different screen sizes (e.g. MessagePad 110)V 0.95 Changed sys 7 pro to sys 7.5 and other minor changes--------------------------------------------------------Known Bugs:The 'All Names' buttons returns a name for each active socket on every AppleTalk device. This is a 'feature' of the Newton Chooser. To fix it would mean writing my own chooser. It is on my 'to-do' list but not this week.--------------------------------------------------------Wish ListsThanks for all the suggestions via eMail. I don't know when I'll have time for some major feature creeping on NetNames. Keep the ideas coming and who knows, one day...--------------------------------------------------------Newton Programmers:to find out more about how to use the Newton Chooser, see my article 'Inspectorless Comm Programming' in PIE Developers Journal, Volume 2.1.cds@netcom.com 415-621-64252A good way to get started is to get the book 'Programming for the Newton'by Julie McKeehan/Neil Rohdes.
