RNetTraf
RNetTraf is a complete reimplementation (R) of the original NetTraf Windows Client written in C++/Qt (R also comes after Q). During its development, any feature present in the original client that was not present in RNetTraf was considered a bug. As of 1.0 the only thing missing is the "New taskbar style icon" which will likely come in a future release.

General Information
RNetTraf clones the original client fairly closely while adding a number of new features and differences of its own. These include:
- Program no longer exits when the main window is closed - it just minimises to the system tray (this can be disabled)
- The General tab and the tab widget in the main window can be turned off so that only the graphs are shown
- Status and Error messages are now shown as popup messages from the system tray
- RNetTraf should support any platform that Qt 4.6 runs on (and perhaps older versions)
While this release seems quite stable, note that being the first release it could well have a few minor bugs.

About RNetTraf and the Author
RNetTraf (including the budget icons) was written from scratch by David Goodwin over two days or so due to a few minor annoying issues with the original client. It is run on all of the authors home computers and should see active maintenance for as long as the author has a use for it.
