Need a date? Try Annette.
Annette is a network tool. Handy when you're a web developer or network guy and you've got those pesky issues that you need your buddies for. Buddies like ping, netstat, nslookup, and traceroute. Now you can use 'em without resorting to that terminal, or having to read the man pages (again) because you forgot the command syntax.
Sounds handy... what's it cost?
Annette is free, as is the source code. You can download both with the links at left. If this puts you off, and you insist on paying for such a useful utility, you can register Annette for $5 and give me your email address - I'll send you a note when Annette is updated.
As freeware, Annette is distributed as-is and comes with no support. Sorry!
About the source code.
I put Annette together during Apple's WWDC 2, using my iBook and DP4 (this was back in the day). I gave it a quick update to make it something I would post to the web, but I haven't spent much time making the source pretty. It is commented OK, but is not an excellent example of design by any means - it's a hack from a conference. I would only recommend it to someone who wants examples of how to use NSTask.
