Hi!

I moved a new tkined and scotty version to our ftp server. The files are

ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/tkined-1.1.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/local/tkined/scotty-1.1.1.tar.gz

This is a development release (actually a snapshot of my actual
sources) and contains new features but might make unexpected problems.
Now that I have warned you, some appetizers:

o There is a new ip traceroute script called ip_world that shows a
traceroute on a geographical map (inspired by geotraceman). It
contains a world map, a USA map and a German map. (Other maps can
be added easily - contributions welcome.)

o I started to add a new tkined object called a graph which uses the
BLT graph widget to draw XY graphs. This is not very complete yet.
Ideas and comments welcome.

o The scotty SNMP code has been cleaned up. This is an ongoing effort,
but it should be already faster. Some problems in the MIB parser
have been fixed. I have added a new walk command which walks through
a MIB subtree. It uses getbulk requests on SNMPv2 agents which makes
it fast on large tables.

o Scotty listens for SNMP trap messages if you like. This is only
tested with a very old snmptrap program from the CMU snmp
implementation. There is a very small script called logtrapd in the
examples directory that writes trap messages to the syslog daemon.
It would really be great if someone can test if it works with
real world traps as I have no equipment to test it here.

More details can be found in the ChangeLog files. There is still no
man page for the snmp tcl extension. Please read the the README in the
snmp directory. Have fun,

Juergen
