Compatibility Issues

	- this was written with VB 6.0.  It utilizes standard controls, 
	  the Dundas Socket 3.0 control, as well as the Animation control 
	  shipped with Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 5.0 (SP2). 
	  It does not use any VB 6 specific functions or procedures.

How to Use This Demo

	1) this demo performs a finger operation on the specified address.
	   The Connect() function is called and the data is obtained from 
	   the OnReadLine(), OnSend() events. 

	2) please note that the Socket control functions at a lower level
	   than the Finger control.  Unlike the the Finger Control the 
	   Socket Control is not limited to finger or traceroute 
	   operations.	

	3) use the tooltiptext.
