*******************************************
* Roadie - A little helper for Roadshow *
*******************************************
* Version 1.3.9 - 20th December 2021 *
*******************************************
-------------------------------------------
So what exactly is this anyway?
-------------------------------------------
This is a small commodity 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!
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 with Roadshow)
- 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:
- RoadshowOnline [ Reads 'Online' or '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 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 Roadshow is installed).
If it can't find this command, Roadie will quit
2 - The subversion number of the ping command. If it is 11 (as in 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 - if you get a message about
this there are updated versions of Roadshow available
-------------------------------------------
A brief history of ... well ... this ...
-------------------------------------------
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)

- 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
