   <dedication>dedicated to Kundel</dedication>

   <p><kin>Big Brother</kin> is a program designed to monitor your IP-network activities. it gives you a comprehensive picture of what happened to any point on the Net that you put in. Just <a href="#Add">add</a> this point by specifying it's IP address or hostname and optional short description (for your information only).</p>

   <p>The hosts are organized into a hierarchical tree so that you may configure your network picture according to your needs and imagination. Most of the father host properties are inherited by his children unless you wish to specify child's settings explicitly.</p>

   <p>Every specified period of time <kin>Big Brother</kin> will send echo request to every host. And wait for response for at most specified <a href="#timeOutHIDD_PROPS_SETTINGS">timeout</a>.</p>

   <p>Results are presented in a graphical form in the lower pane. Each line of the lower window is related to specific host which is shown on the tooltip when you move your mouse over the graphics. Host activities are also <a href="#fileHIDD_PREFS">logged into file</a>.</p>

   <p>Your current <a href="#HIDD_PREFS">preferences</a> and network tree are automatically saved on Windows shutdown (unless specified otherwise) and may be <a href="#autosaveHIDD_PREFS">autosaved</a> every specified amount of minutes. Most recently used <a href="#MRUFile">file</a> is <a href="#HID_FILE_AUTOLOAD">automatically loaded</a> at <kin>Big Brother</kin>'s startup unless you don't want it.</p>

   <p>You can also hide <kin>Big Brother</kin> into your notify tray so that it won't occupy more than 16x16 square of your precious windows' desktop. Just click <image source="bbullet.bmp"/> in your notify tray or select <a href="#HID_VIEW_MAINWINDOW">View/Main Window</a> from menu. Click <image source="bbullet.bmp"/> again to restore <kin>Big Brother</kin> to its full size.</p>

  <topic id="Using" title="Using Big Brother">

   <heading scroll="no">Using <kin>Big Brother</kin></heading>

   <p>Using <kin>Big Brother</kin> consists of two parts - designing your network tree and monitoring it's activity. The latter takes no effort of yours.</p>

   <p>To design the network layout is to put your hosts into Network Tree pane. To <a href="#HID_BROTHERS_NEW">add a child host</a> to the current just press insert or Select Brothers/Add child from menu. To <a href="#HID_BROTHERS_ADDBROTHER">add a brother</a> of the current host select Brothers/Add brother from menu. (note: You can't add brother to the root node)</p>

   <p>You may also show <a href="#HostProps">properties</a> dialog box by selecting View/Host Properties menu. <a href="#HostProps">Properties</a> dialog box also pops up automatically whenever you press <b>Enter</b> in the tree view pane.</p>

   <p>Monitoring your network activities is even easier. You just relax and watch the screen (or listen to your speakers if you have ones). Network activities are reflected using the lower host activity pane and icons in the tree view. The possible states of the host are:</p>

   <ul>

    <li><image source="IDI_NOHOST.bmp"/> <b>Network</b> - you haven't specified host name or ip address for this host. The only reason that makes sense is that you probably want to use this node as a father for family of hosts.</li>

    <li><image source="IDI_PINGING.bmp"/> <b>In progress</b> - checking of this host is in progress.</li>

    <li><image source="IDI_HOST.bmp"/> <b>Reachable host</b> - this host is reachable and you have no reason to worry about it.</li>

    <li><image source="IDI_GOINGDOWN.bmp"/> <b>Worrisome host</b> - this host was reported as unreachable, but less than for specified <a href="#HIDD_PROPS_SETTINGS">retries</a> times.</li>

    <li><image source="IDI_HOSTDOWN.bmp"/> <b>Unreachable host</b> - this host is known as unreachable for a long time. Whenever the host enters or leaves this state specified <a href="#HIDD_PROPS_ACTION">actions</a> are taken.</li>

   </ul>

   <p>Lower pane shows a histogram of response times for a <a href="#logLengthHIDD_PREFS">specified</a> amount of time. Histograms are shown for current host and it's descendants. Hidden (collapsed) children are not shown in activity pane. When you move your mouse over histogram tooltip shows the host name and host address for the corresponding host. If you also hold left mouse button or Ctrl key it will also show you the time corresponding to the point you point at. If you hold Shift key it will also show the Round Trip Time.</p>

   <p>Histogram shows the Round Trip Time in the following colours:</p>

   <ul>

    <li><image source="green.bmp"/> Host's response time is less than 1/3 of the <a href="#timeOutHIDD_PROPS_SETTINGS">specified</a> timeout.</li>

    <li><image source="yellow.bmp"/> Host's response time is more than 1/3, but less then 2/3 of the <a href="#timeOutHIDD_PROPS_SETTINGS">specified</a> timeout.</li>

    <li><image source="red.bmp"/> Host's response time is more than 2/3 of the <a href="#timeOutHIDD_PROPS_SETTINGS">specified</a> timeout.</li>

   </ul>

  <topic id="HIDD_PREFS" title="Preferences">

   <heading scroll="no">Preferences</heading>

   <p>The Preferences dialog box allows you to change global system preferences which are:</p>

   <ul>

    <li><a name="autosaveHIDD_PREFS"/>Autosave - the interval at wich <kin>Big Brother</kin> will save current tree automatically. Specify 0 if you don't want to use this feature.</li>

    <li>Ping data packet size - the size of echo request packet in bytes.</li>

    <li>Ping .. hosts simultaneously - number of hosts to ping at a time. If you have a big network to monitor and have a slow computer or connection, you may want to limit number of hosts to ping simultaneously.</li>

    <li><a name="fileHIDD_PREFS"/>Log to file - Here is where you specify the name of the file to log hosts activities to.</li>

    <li><a name="logLengthHIDD_PREFS"/>Show last .. minutes in activity pane - This is the time length of your graphical pane window.</li>
