History

najitool was originally meant to be called najitools but the author decided to call it najitool because of the 8.3 character file name length restrictions on DOS systems. The first version of najitool started off as nine small stand alone programs, but the following version had all the functionality of the stand alone programs implemented into a programming library called libnaji which was used by najitool, the new standalone program rather than the original design as the "najitools suite". From that version on the new design was kept, and each new release of najitool is accompanied by a release of libnaji.Earlier versions of najitool were poorly documented, but gradually the author started explaining each of his functions to some extent in the new documentation. The najitool project was only worked on by one programmer for a while, but some contributors have written new functions.

najitool is a command-line tool; a GUI version called naji_gui is available.There have only been four different versions of naji_gui and the command line version of najitool was much more frequently updated.
