  SANA2Meter - Statistics monitor for SANA-II compliant network devices

| NEWS!
|
| For users who don't have or dislike gtlayout.library the package includes
| now a version which has been statically linked with the gtlayout code and
| thus doesn't need the shared library. Penalty for this independence is an
| about four times larger executable size.

  SANA2Meter is a simple tool that displays the network device statistics of
  any SANA-II network device. The set of displayable values include static
  parameters such as hardware type, MTU, speed in bits per second as well as
  dynamic values such as number of sent and received packets and error
  counters. In addition, SANA2Meter is able to display up to 20 device
  special statistics using generic code for the inquiry. For more experienced
  users and network administrators the packet type tracking function may come
  in handy. By means of this feature the user can keep track of one or more
  particular packet types. Last but not least, on highly networked systems
  such as gateways or bridges or servers the system administrator might like
  SANA2Meter's ability to display statistics of any number of network
  interfaces simultaneously. All dynamic statistics are updated periodically.

  The program can be called from both CLI and Workbench. A great lot of
  values, including the set of displayed statistics, refresh time, window
  position, public screen, and font can easily be customized by CLI
  arguments, tooltypes, and menu selection. The current setting may be saved
  to the tooltype list from the GUI or to a ASCII configuration file.

  SANA2Meter can be used with any SANA-II compliant network device including
  popular SLIP or PPP devices used to connect to an internet provider
  service.

  You should install this software package by using the supplied Installer
  script. Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide document to obtain further

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Release 37.11

    * Included a version which is statically linked with the gtlayout code
      and doesn't need the shared gtlayout.library

    * Static speed characteristics of the A2065 device wouldn't be shown
      correctly

    * Special statistics and baud rate A2065 device caused problems
      (Enforcer Hit)

    * Fixed memory trashing when dealing with more than one special
      statistics

    * ToolType saving code improved

  Release 37.9

    * CPS rate display for each packet type being tracked

  Release 37.6

    * Multiple network devices may be monitored simultaneously

    * An optional configuration file keeps permanent settings also
      for CLI usage

    * Bugfix: Some ancient code would only display 10 special statistics

    * Workaround: rh(c)slip.device causes no longer delay of user input
      processing

  Release 37.3

    * SANA2Meter now also renders it's display under Kickstart 3.0 (V39).
      Earlier releases of SANA2Meter failed to operate accurately due to
      a bug in gadtools lower than 40.1

    * loosing track of some values (most notably packet type tracking
      information) will terminate their display


  Release 37.2

    * packet type tracking

  Initial Release 37.1

    * initial release
