host info 1.0.1

Host Info description
Obtain your computers internet host name and IP address Host Info is a simple command line tool that was designed to gather host information for the local machine: its standard host name (for local access), its network / internet host name, and its IP address.

Type HOSTINFO with no parameters. The information returned is the following:

Standard host name (for local access)
· This is either the single-word name given to your machine (may be simply default) or a fully-qualified host name (such as machine.company.com), depending on how your Windows networking has been set up. This will remain the same whether you are currently connected to the internet or not.
Network host name (for network or internet access)
· This is the fully-qualified host name by which other machines connected to your network or the internet will recognize you. It is obtained by doing a reverse-lookup on your IP number (we are trusting your machines DNS). When you are not connected to the internet, this will be just localhost.
Internet protocol address (IP number)
· This is the unique internet protocol address that identifies your computer on the internet. If you have a dynamic IP address this number will change each time you connect to the internet. When you are not connected to the internet, this number will be 127.0.0.1.

Host is a complete and powerful command-line based DNS query and testing tool. The project has many of the same basic features as other similar tools such as nslookup and dig, but it has more extensive testing and test automation features. Host also has a much more standard (i.e. Unix-based) command-line user interface.

Here are some key features of "Host":

· Major overhaul of the entire code.
· Very rigid error checking, with more verbose error messages.
· Zone listing section completely rewritten.
· It is now possible to do recursive listings into delegated zones.
· Maintain resource record statistics during zone listings.
· Maintain count of hosts during zone listings.
· Check for various extraneous conditions during zone listings.
· Check for illegal domain names containing invalid characters.
· Verify that certain domain names represent canonical host names.
· Perform TTL consistency checking during zone listings.
· Exploit multiple server addresses if available.
· Option to exploit only primary server for zone transfers.
· Option to exclude info from names that do not reside in a zone.
· Implement timeout handling during connect and read.
· Write resource record output to optional log file.
· Special MB tracing by recursively expanding MR and MG records.
· Special mode to check SOA records at each nameserver for a zone.
· Special mode to check reverse mappings of host addresses.
· Extended syntax allows multiple arguments on command line or stdin.
· Configurable default options in HOST_DEFAULTS environment variable.
· Implement new resource record types from RFC 1183 and 1348.
· Basic experimental NSAP support as defined in RFC 1637.
· Implement new resource record types from RFC 1664 and 1712.
· Implement new resource record types from RFC 1876 and 1886.
· Code is extensively documented.

Whats New in This Release:

· This release introduces some minor bugfixes and cleanup to the address/hostname verification (host -A) code.

Desktop Info description
Desktop Info displays system information on your desktop Desktop Info displays system information on your desktop in a similar way to some other desktop information tools. Unlike others, this application stays resident in memory and continues to update the display in real time.

Desktop Info about 840KB of memory and zero cpu. Looks like wallpaper. Perfect for quick identification and walk-by monitoring of production or test server farms. Info includes time, host, user, cpu usage, os info, memory usage, network info, disk usage, event logs. Displays items, position, fonts, colours, sizes, refresh times are customizable.

Host application is a command prompt Windows utility ported from FreeBSD Host utility.

Host looks for information about Internet hosts. It gets this information from a set of interconnected servers that are spread across the world.

By default, it simply converts between host names and Internet addresses.
However, with the [-d] or [-a] options, it can be used to find all of the information about this host that is maintained by the domain server (A, MX, NS records, TTL).

The arguments can be either host names or host numbers. The program first attempts to interpret them as host numbers. If this fails, it will treat them as host names.

A host number consists of IPv4 dotted decimal quad (127.0.0.1). A host name consists of names separated by dots, e.g. www.itsamples.com.

VST Host description
A program to run VST-compatible plugins. VST Host application was designed to be a program that will help you run VST-compatible plugins.

Here are some key features of "VST Host":

· loading VST effects (aka "plugins")
· parameterizing / editing them
· sound output for VSTis
· MIDI-input and -output
· loading / saving .fxb / .fxp files
· I/O through either Windows MME or ASIO drivers
· Wave Player / Recorder
· MIDI Player


Requirements:

· Pentium II - 500MHz
· Minimum 128 RAM
· Sound card

Defective Records Software proudly introduces VSTi Host, the brand new version of the original Macintosh application that allows VST instrument and effect plugins to be used outside of larger host applications (like Cubase, Logic, etc.). It also allows for sequencers that may not have native support for VST plugins and/or instruments (like ProTools, Vision, Digital Performer, and Metro for example) to use them, as long as the sequencer supports OMS.

VSTi Host is perfect if you have an extra Mac that youd like to put to use as a virtual synth and/or effects unit, or if your sequencer of choice doesnt support the VST plugins youd like to use. Previous versions of this software have garnered excellent mentions in Electronic Musician, Sound on Sound (UK), and Recording magazines, as well as in numerous online resources.

Whats New in This Release:

· Now Universal Binary, supports both Intel and PowerPC Macs.

System Info is a SuperKaramba theme for system monitoring.

It monitors the following:

· CPU
· RAM
· HDD
· Network

It also shows the system uptime.
