Frugal Software Inc. is pleased to announce NetLookout 2.04 for OS/2.
NetLookout is an internet notifier. It will watch Web, FTP and Gopher
sites, and tell you if they have changed.
Improvements in version 2.04:
- changed distribution to be a small .exe and several .dll files
- fixed problems with importing from FTP Browser
- import from Microsoft Internet Explorer
- improved code for launching other programs, now VIO programs work.
Also, if you run NetLookout from a command window, then launch
a viewer program, then close NetLookout, the command window will
come back, without having to close the viewer program.
- updated help file to describe how to launch ".cmd" files
- fixed problems with "Look for file" feature on FTP Lookouts
- improved memory management
- on changes, message boxes now display after beeps and .wav files
- reworked the threading model, so threads are only created when
needed. Should cut down on NetLookout's use of system resources.
