QuickIP 3.1 for Windows 95 - by Giulio Caldani =============================== This is a simple program to show your IP address as soon as possible into the Taskbar Notification Area. I've used direct Winsock calls for Lan connections and RAS calls for Dialup connections. An animated icon shows you when the connection is active. User configurable alarm. New Feature is a Log File to trace connections. TIP: if you move your mouse over the Copyright string you'll see a rounded form. I don't know if it is useful or not, but enjoy it! Installation ============ Simply create a directory and unzip the files into. Add a shortcut into the StartUp menu to execute QuickIP at boot time. History ======= 1.0: Only Lan connection. No animated icon. Never released before. 2.0: Added RAS connection, Animated icon. 2.1: Eliminated the TTrayIcon Component from Stamina Software (sorry) and implemented directly the icon into the Taskbar Notification Area. This seems to be necessary to avoid the EViolation error that sometimes appeared on the previous version. I've tested it now on 10 different Win 95 installation... Added the menu 'Copy IP' to copy IP Address into the clipboard. There is also the ability to choose the double click action. On Win NT4 there are problems with registry and so, at this moment, i prefer to declare this software only for Windows 95. 3.0: Eliminated another bug on LAN connection. Added an user configurable alarm. 3.1: Fixed a bug on Alarm setting. Now you don't need to reload the program. Added a Log File stored into the quickip directory to trace connections. Limits ====== The program doesn't work on gateways. If your machine has more than one Lan card or concurrent RAS connections, only the first of them are reported (and maybe the result can be undefined).
