Subject: LanSatellite 2.0b6 (AppleTalk network management)

LanSatellite(tm) by Trygve Isaacson is an application
that searches AppleTalk networks asynchronously, gathering information
about network services and devices. The accumulated data can be displayed
in Finder-like list and icon views. The icon view is a MacDraw-like drawing
environment in which you can use the network information plus drawing tools
to create network diagrams with sticky object links. LanSatellite runs
native on 68K and PowerPC. It is shareware $20.

What's New in 2.0b6

- The list view uses the text label color assigned to each object.
- You can set the font and size of the list view (from the Object menu).
- Added a command to auto-resize the column widths to fit the data.
- Keyboard navigation like the Finder is implemented in list and icon views:
- Type the first part of a node's name to select it.
- Tab and shift-tab move forward and backward alphabetically.
- Arrows move the selection, shift-arrow extends it in the list view.
- Command-right-arrow expands the selected items, command-left-arrow
collapses them.
- Object dragging is constrained to the drawing area.
- You are warned if you make a Page Setup or Drawing Setup change that
leaves objects off the page.
- You are warned if you resize an object down to nothing.
- Added a Zoom 100% command.
- Moved the Show Page Breaks toggle out of the Drawing Setup dialog and
onto the View menu, and it is now available for the list view as well as
the icon view.
- Fixed a drawing bug where the link endpoint coordinates were sometimes
not recalculated when an object's size changed.
- Implemented the Mercutio 1.2 MDEF and some new menu command keys.
- Now using CodeWarrior 8 and MacApp 3.3 final.
