Windows Sockets Net Watch - Alpha version 3 - 94.10.26

The ONLY restriction is that this version may NOT be SOLD.  You can

This is strictly an expermental program.  Further development is
dependant on feedback that I receive and my free time (very minimal
at the moment!).

This program requires Win32s version 1.2 and a working Windows Sockets
DLL.

The purpose of this program is to make active checks on hosts that are
listed in its database file.  This program is designed to work on any
Winsock DLL, however it works much better on one that supports raw
sockets (such as Ipswitch's Acadia, FTP PC/TCP, Novell LWP, Trumpet
Winsock, Netmanage, etc..).  It DOES work on Microsoft's TCP/IP stack
for Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT however it uses a completely
different method for determining if a host is up or not.

This program reads .DB files created by my EGA Netwatch program (which
requires FTP's PC/TCP to work).  There is some editing capability built
into this program however the only way net lines can be entered is with
the DOS version or by manually editing the .DB file.

This program has been tested on:
  Windows NT 3.5 - Microsoft TCP/IP
  Windows for Workgroups 3.11 - Microsoft TCP/IP - Win32s 1.2
  Windows for Workgroups 3.11 - Trumpet Winsock 1.0 - Win32s 1.2
  Windows for Workgroups 3.11 - Ipswitch Acadia 1.0 - Win32s 1.2
  ??? - Microsoft TCP/IP

Known problems:

  DON'T EXIT THIS PROGRAM WHILE A CHECK IS IN PROGRESS!
  You have to click in the upper left area of a host to select a host.
  Appears to be a bug when running on Win32s on the Microsoft TCP/IP
    stack with versions of Win32s before 1.20.  (no I don't know where
    you can get Win32s 1.20 except by being a MSDN subscriber)
  Appears to be a bug when running on FTP PC/TCP with ICMP selected.


94.10.24
  First public alpha release
94.10.25
  Hopefully a fix for WFWG 3.11, Win32s 1.15s, MS TCP/IP
  Hosts are assumed down unless the answer a check.
94.10.26
  Fixed yellow color
  Added background option (grey or desktop)
  Added show timer option (in title)
  Increased max time between checks to 60000 seconds
