Hi everybody,

This is to announce the new version of knu (KDE network Utilities).
I've uploaded it to /pub/kde/Incoming


It's an interim version that uses the KMenuBar stuff.

Here is REDAME and knu-0.2.0.lsm


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
README

This program allows somebody to make a ping, a traceroute or a hostname
resolution without lauching an xterm (nor kvt :-) ).

It's a tabbed window with a big multilineedit that receive the output
of a command (ping, traceroute, host, but it could be also finger, 
whois, ...).

I need some help for:
. an icon for knu
. a .kdelnk file (I don't use kfm)


Note: You should use Qt 1.2.1 (QSocketNotifier bug).

Feedback welcome!


Todo:
=====
- in host tab, put nameservers address (from /etc/resolv.conf) to the 
	combobox
- whois ?
- finger ??
- anybody have other wishes?
- improve/update doc
- add a way to use nslookup insteed of host
- i18n
- configuration dialogtab
- have the host: lineedit of all tools to be a combobox
  and remember old tries
