DOS ain't dead

Sorry folks, no exciting pictures of my little sister here , i just want to direct your attention to my latest project: LANSTAT a LAN STATus monitor. Though it cannot compete with projects like "Big Brother" or "Big Sister", my "Little Sister" has got some interesting features. It runs under (MS-)DOS (but can be used under Windows as well), is rather compact in size, yet very flexibly configurable. Therefore it can be used with virtually any networking software available for DOS and can do even more that just ping a number of hosts.

Please feel free to download the package from here and try it yourself.

A new version of the network monitoring program LANSTAT (aka "little sister") is available and can be downloaded from here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/. It now also provides for logging, offers a considerably greater flexibility in the display layout and provides many minor improvements in various details.

But not only the program was improved, the documentation file as well. It is now actually larger then the program itself, offering to those, who are not afraid of reading a more elaborate text, some (hopefully) useful ideas about the program's flexibility, the many ways to configure it and the various purposes it can be used for.

In addition the DOSUTILS package (available from the same site) got a new member: PRINTF an improved echo utility.
