MetrUp

MetrUp, the "MetrO updater" utility for PalmOS comes in a new version (1.3.1), with the following changes:
  • Safer updates (if any error occurs during the update process, the old file is restored)
  • Access to the web service on our new server (see below)
  • Minor bug fix
For more details (and a download), see the MetrUp web page.

i-MetrO

Our online MetrO service, i-MetrO, is changing these days:
  • It is hosted on our new server (see below) at http://imetro.nanika.net (remember to update your bookmarks and other links)
    The service should automatically detect whether you access it from a WEB or WAP browser. If you experience any problem, you may also use a more detailed URL. See details on our i-MetrO web page.

  • A new version for the Google Homepage is now available. To add i-MetrO to your personal Google Homepage, click on the button: Add to Google

A new web host for MetrO!

Some of you may have already noticed that we have started hosting our web site and services on a new server, in the hope that it will be more reliable and faster.

But it also allows us to host all our services under the same "nanika.net" domain name. Consequently, you should update your links to the new (simpler) URLs:

The existing links pointing to http://nanika.net/Metro are still operational and will be for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, if you use links pointing to chotto.free.fr, we strongly recommend an update since we will stop updating this server in the coming monthes.
