CyberKit is postcardware (refer to the help file for more information). There are currently 2 versions available for download. Or, if you don't mind a bug now and then you can help me out by using the latest beta. CyberKit 2.5 (943KB, 01/22/2000) This release, and all future releases, require a WinSock stack that supports raw sockets (like Sockets 2). Windows 98 and NT 4.0 already ship with Sockets 2, as will all future versions of Windows. Windows 95 users can download an upgrade from the Microsoft site. To my knowledge, there is no upgrade available for Windows NT 3.51. Having problems installing CyberKit 2.5? Have a look at the trouble shooting section in the FAQ! Migrating from previous versions In version 2.5, CyberKit stores your bookmarks and mail account information in the CyberKit database. When you first install CyberKit, the database will be empty. CyberKit will automatically move you mail account information to the database. The bookmarks from version 2.4, however have to be imported manually. Follow the following steps to import your CyberKit 2.4 bookmarks: Open the bookmark dialog (use the menu or press F12 while in CyberKit). Click on the 'IMPORT' button. Use the drop down box to select 'Files of Type: CyberKit 2.4 Addressbook Files'. Select the CyberKit.pbk file. This file is located in the CyberKit directory. Click on the 'OPEN' button. The bookmark dialog will now contain a new folder 'Imported Bookmarks' that contains your old bookmarks. You will need to do some manual editing because the old bookmarks file does not contain all the parameters needed by the new bookmark dialog. Refer to the help file for more information. The command line parameters have a completely new syntax. If you used them in previous versions, you'll have to change your shortcuts, because the old syntax is no longer supported. Refer to the help file for more information. Due to a fix for inconsistent minimize/maximize behaviour, previously saved window position and size are lost. The first time you start this new version, it will have the default size and position. From there on it will behave as before (depending on the 'Remember Window Position' setting in the options dialog). What's new in CyberKit 2.5 A Netscanner with the following features: As input you can use a range of IP addresses or a text file containing a list of addresses. Ping this range and return the addresses that respond. Optionally, you can let CyberKit create a hosts file with the results. Resolve this range and return the addresses known by the DNS server. The DNS server can be set to any valid DNS server. Optionally, you can let CyberKit create a hosts file with the results. For this range, scan a range of ports and return the ports that are active. KeepAlive now offers you the choice between ping and time synchronizer. You can now force KeepAlive to function even if you don't use a RAS connection. Context menus for exchanging data with other CyberKit clients and the windows clipboard. Local hostname and IP address(es) are displayed on the title bar of CyberKit. Improved bookmarks dialog.
