Title: Share Usenet Accounts, Status of other alt.binz
Post by: bnevets27 on August 22, 2008, 06:12:39 pm

Is there currently a way to check the status of the alt.binz program on a remote comp?

All I want to do is be able to check if a friend has the program running and downloading.

Just a simple "light" with red when its being used and green when not would suffice.

A bonus would be if you could chat/leave a message in a simple text box.

Even if I could check a raw updated file that would work if thats the only option currently

Setup > Miscellaneous #2 > 'Enable status in XML file', then check your Alt.Binz directory for altbinz_status.xml.  How you access this file across a network is up to you.

For the rest: new feature requests should go in the Requests forum.  Although why not just IM?
