User Interface
The utility鈥檚 user interface carries all the desirable features that are standard in today鈥檚 Windows
95 or Windows NT 4.0 based applications. It has the editing capability of Notepad. It has a tool
bar, and when the mouse cursor rests on a button a short tooltip message is displayed. It also has a
status panel and context sensitive help. Shown below is the main window of the Magic Packet
utility. This utility works with ASCII text files, because it relies on text files to carry out various
tasks.
Except for the
MagicPackets
top menu choice, all other menu choices are standard. The
MagicPackets
menu choice presents three options each of which are described in detail below.
Alternatively, the user can choose a MagicPackets operation by clicking on the buttons in the tool
bar.
