NetNames(tm) AppleTalk Poll is a simple to use network diagnosticutility that displays and polls 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, Newton Backup Utility or the Newton Package Downloader over an unknown network. - Users setting up Wireless Network devices.Tech Note: In order for the Connection Kit, Newton Backup Utility orthe Newton Package Downloader to display an AppleTalk name, they mustbe setup for AppleTalk and be "waiting for the Newton". Otherwisethey will not register their name on the network, and NetNames willnot 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 1993 V 0.91 Added viewJustify to the buttons that I had over looked.

This is a 'feature' of the NewtonChooser. To fix it would mean writing my own chooser. It is on mymaybe sometime 'to-do' list.--------------------------------------------------------Wish Lists Thanks for all the suggestions via eMail. I don't knowwhen 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 NewtonChooser, see my article 'Inspectorless Comm Programming' in PIEDevelopers Journal, Volume 2.1. http://www.cdpubs.com/ cdi@cdpubs.com, 415-621-4252A good way to get started is to get the book 'Programming for theNewton' by Julie McKeehan/Neil Rohdes.
