Overall, Interarchy 3.8 is a powerful and flexible collection of Internet tools that feels haphazard initially it remains to be seen if Interarchy's wands will succeed at establishing order. To give you an idea how a wand could be useful, I'm planning to make one that helps me troubleshoot Internet connectivity problems with buttons for ping and traceroute tests to my various servers. Most interesting, however, are Interarchy's skin-like "wands," which are totally customizable graphical interfaces to Interarchy's functionality. Finally, Interarchy now offers daemons (tiny servers) for Finger, Whois, TCP echo, UDP echo, Ident, Daytime, Time, and NTP (all turned on with the Safe Daemons menu item), along with a Telnet daemon that accepts and executes AppleScript scripts. Interarchy can also show the status of your network, watch all network traffic on your Mac, and display a list of all current connections.

Interarchy 3.8 supports FTP listing, upload, download, and mirroring HTTP listing, download, and mirroring Whois, Finger, and DNS lookups traceroutes and TCP, ICMP, and UDP tests. In the process, Stairways decided to rename Anarchie to Interarchy and to use Interarchy as the company's new identity after failing to recover the domain from a cybersquatter.


Anarchie Updated, Renamed to Interarchy 3.8 - Stairways Software today released a significant update to their popular shareware FTP client Anarchie.
