What's this?
Program for faster communication via SMB protocol.
Create list of computers in network neighborhood (Samba) with CList utility. To faster response of
computer condition in LAN (using ping technique) & access to them use tray utility NCConnector.
Has integration with TotalCommander.
I wrote this program because in big LANs, MasterBrowser or DNS(WINS) server often falls & much
of computers in Network Neighborhood are absent(but reallyconsist on LAN at that time).
Also feature: very small program size(NCConnector) in memory too.

Platform: Windows 95,98,ME,2K,XP,2003 with WinSock2 support.

How use it?
1. You need create computer list:
Use Clist.exe Program
  1.1 Select Groups from ComboBox & push "Search" button.
  From "Found computers" list select computers you need & push "Add" button.
    "Add All" button - adds all computers from left list.
    "Delete" button - delete selected computers from destination list.
    "Delete All" button - delete all computers from right list
  1.2 Push "Save List" button for saving Created(Right) list.
  1.3 Alt+F4 or "Exit" for closing program ;) (or you can see About info before closing ;) )
Note: For creating whole LAN list of a comp's repeat 1.1-1.3 items several times (for example: after 12 hours interval).
