$MyHistory$

19 Jul 2000: 0.003: bug-fix for memory-leak of perltk .

30 May 2000: 0.002: fix for eth0:1...n which don't give info .

NetViuw 3. Usage

Call netviuw and then with button-click you switch through all active known net-devices.

E.g. when you add eth0 or eth1, or ppp0 is active it automatically will be logged and displayed.

WARNING: Depending on the ptk- and Perl-version this application grows in memory-usage (memory-leak); upgrade to the latest version of both.

NetViuw 4. Installation

Copy it into your /usr/local/bin or whatever.

Put follow lines in your .steprc (you run AfterStep WM):

*Wharf netviuw nil Swallow "netviuw" netviuw &

You can also edit the source, and chance $w and $h to 58 (default 48), then you change the .steprc line from Swallow to MaxSwallow.
