Magic Monitor Application for version 8.3

This is an enhanced version of the Magic Monitor program that has been
included in all version 8 releases of Magic.

As pointed out in a Magic email group, the Magic Monitor for version
8.30 ships with certain bugs, which hamper its functionality. Several
individuals were nice enough to post some of the bugs with suggestions
on how to fix them.

I have taken those suggestions as well as some of my own and fixed the
bugs that I know of. I also added a couple of enhancements as well.

At the moment it is freely download able from our Seattle Magic Users
Group website (a portion of the Trillium Custom Software website
currently). 

If you would like to get a copy check out 
http://www.trillium-sw.com/smug.htm and look for the Download link.

If you find any other bugs, and email me with details, I will consider
fixing them and reposting them to our download location.

I invite Magic to take this version and include it, or another fixed
version, in future Patches for version 8.3.

In posting this to the Web I am not trying to take ownership of this
application. Its just that this program or an equivalent one is an
integral part of maintaining a Magic 8.30 based website and as such
the bugs needed to be fixed!


========================= VERSION HISTORY =========================

BUGS FIXED 11/04/1999:
	BASICALLY the changes in functions for version 8.3 where not
	fully taken into account in this version of the Monitor. Two
	examples of these are:

	Did not deal correctly with the new passwords for Brokers which
	Magic added in version 8.3. This resulted in being unable to
	execute certain Broker requests including: 
	Starting or Stopping a new Engine, and
	Clearing a Request from the Queue

	Did not handle the range of records in the Request Queue. This
	resulted in seeing only the last request in the queue.

ENHANCEMENTS ADDED 11/04/1999:
	Since Request Queue can have a very large history I added a
	mechanism to allow the user to select the quantity of queued
	records to receive. So instead of bogging down the broker with
	the task of returning the entire queue the user can select 
	the number of queue records to return (most recent first).

	Added a Manual Refresh option so that you poll the Broker at
	your discretion rather than at specific intervals.

	Added an online screen to see a summarize view of the records
	in the current queue.

	Enhanced the Properties view of the Broker or Service being
	used.

	Added an output report that prints either a summary or detail
	report of the current queue that is ordered by either Program
	Name or Host Name.

ENHANCEMENTS ADDED 11/14/1999:
	Added new option to Print Queue report to supress subtotal
	level of report details.

	Added new subtask to Print Queue report that only has summary
	level that shows how many requests and failures occured during
	specific hours. Based on Hour Submitted.

CHANGES ON 11/25/1999:
	Export app and import for version 8.30 Service Pack 2
