******************************************************************
*   Roadie - A little helper for Roadshow or Compatible Stacks   *
******************************************************************
*                Version 1.4 - 2nd September 2026                *
******************************************************************

-------------------------------------------
 So what exactly is this anyway?
-------------------------------------------

This is a small commodity originally designed as a companion for Roadshow,
the TCP/IP stack by Olaf Barthel. Note that I am in no way affiliated with
Olaf or Roadshow! So if you have issues relating to *this* piece of
software please give me a shout!

This latest release removes many direct references to Roadshow in messages
or variables, as Roadie also works with Roadshow compatible TCP/IP stacks
that have recently been released.

Run Commands:
- Go Online (if you're not already)
- Go Offline (if you're not already)
- Show Net Status (an overview of current Local IP|Gateway|DNS)
- Get Net Status (information on your current networking details)
- Ping a given IP/Host (by default uses Googles main DNS server)

Edit Configuration files (Please see notice below!):
- Interface files
- Nameservers (DNS)
- Default Gateway (routing)

Also you can:
- Quit (run away!)

ARexx Commands (Default port is ROADIE)
- ONLINE                        [ Go Online ]
- OFFLINE                       [ Go Offline ]
- SHOW                          [ Show the main Roadie interface ]

The Icon has four optional tooltypes:
- CX_POPUP=YES|NO               [ Defaults to YES if not set ]
- CX_POPKEY=ctrl lcommand help  [ this can be changed by the user ]
- AREXXPORT=ROADIE              [ this can be changed by the user ]
- AUTOCONNECT=YES|NO            [ Defaults to NO if not set ]
- LESSVERBOSE=YES|NO            [ Defaults to NO if not set ]

The following ENV variable is set:
- AmigaOnline                   [ Reads 'Online (IP)' or 'Amiga Offline' ]

Roadie also talks to Ranchero if it's installed, grab it here:

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

          ********************
          * IMPORTANT NOTICE *
          ********************

- Editing the configuration files will overwrite them with the data
  you have entered!
- I have not included all fields in the editing windows, so if you have
  advanced settings not shown they won't be saved!
- I strongly suggest backing up the following files before editing the
  configuration with this software:
  - DEVS:NetInterfaces/#?
  - DEVS:Internet/name_resolution
  - DEVS:Internet/routes
   
-------------------------------------------
 Requirements:
-------------------------------------------

- An Amiga with
* KS2.0+   [ It uses GadTools, sorry ]
* An 020+  [ I'm not 100% sure why, I hope to get it working on 000 ]

- Roadshow or compatible TCP/IP Stack Installed [ Well Obviously ]

-------------------------------------------
 Launching the App:
-------------------------------------------

A simple double click should do it, I'm using GadTools and have attempted
to keep it self contained.

On startup it performs two checks:

1 - Does C:GetNetStatus exist (as a way to see if a TCP/IP stack is
    installed). If it can't find this command, Roadie will quit.
    
2 - The version number of the ping command. If it is 4.11 it won't 
    allow you to utilise ping. This is due to a known bug in that
    version of ping that causes hard lockups.

-------------------------------------------
  A brief history of ... well ... this ...
-------------------------------------------

Roadie 1.4 (02.09.2026)

- Minor updates, some code tidying, and built using the latest AmiBlitz
- ENV var changed to AmigaOnline - and when online now includes current
  IP address 

Roadie 1.3.9 (20.12.2021)

- Will now start even if RexxMast isn't running. 1.3.8 brought back a bug I
  initially resolved back in version 1.3 itself! The joys of rewriting chunks
  of code

Roadie 1.3.8 (13.12.2021)

- ARexx support completely rewritten. Previously this was using a Blitz Lib
  which proved to be the cause of various strange ARexx issues which 
  ultimately affected system stability.
  Thanks to those who helped me test this, with a special mention for
  Rob Cranley!
- Added support for Ranchero - a rather nice notification system for
  Amiga OS 3. Grab it here: http://aminet.net/package/util/cdity/Ranchero

Roadie 1.3.7 (21.11.2021)

- Updated code to make background checks much more efficient when idle

Roadie 1.3.6 (09.11.2021) [ Test Release ]

- Roadie now checks online/offline status in the background, and will update
  the ENV variable and the interface to reflect the current status
  automatically
- Interface has been slightly tweaked to show current machine IP when online

Roadie 1.3.5 (01.11.2021)

- Complete rewrite of code to check online/offline status. I wasn't happy 
  with the way it worked, and some bug reports confirmed it wasn't as clever
  as it could be. Hopefully this proves to be a lot more robust!
- Added ENV variable 'RoadshowOnline' - this can be used with custom title
  bar in AmigaOS3.2 - it will read 'Online' or 'Offline'

Roadie 1.3.4 (22.04.2021)

- Code cleanup, some tweaks to make things more readable
- Better checking of online status (both during operations and at startup)

Roadie 1.3.3 (18.04.2021)

- Added LESSVERBOSE tooltype, this suppresses confirmation dialogues

Roadie 1.3.2 (07.06.2020)

- More code refactoring, further testing with Amiblitz3

Roadie 1.3.1 (18.01.2020)

- Code tidy, back to using AmiBlitz3 (v3.7.3) for development
- Non-public release to allow testing

Roadie 1.3 (24.06.2019)

- Roadie will still run if REXXMast isn't running (bug from 1.2)
- Added AUTOCONNECT tooltype, allows auto-connect at program startup

Roadie 1.2 (17.06.2019)

- Added ARexx support
- Will now show interface if program is started a second time 
- Added missed elipsis to relevant menu items

Roadie 1.1 (09.06.2019)

- Added clearer output for the 'Ping' option in the event of failure
- Added elipsis (...) to menu items that open a new window
- Added 'hide' option to menu
- Fixed window behaviour when 'Show Interface' is used in Exchange

RoadshowGUI 0.9b (23.05.2019) [ Final test version ]

- App works as a commodity!
- Added tooltype support for:
