<P>
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">Development Environment</SPAN></P>
<P>
The development environment MUST have Platform SDK installed (this
requirement does not apply to target platforms the applications are
deployed on). To get the latest released version of the Platform SDK,
subscribe to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN(tm)) or visit our
Web site at <A HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk">http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk</A></P>
<P>
<!-- $MVD$:spaceretainer() --><SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">WinInet</SPAN></P>
<P>
The Ultimate ToolBox Secure TCP/IP does not use Microsoft's proprietary WinInet
library internally. The Ultimate ToolBox TCP/IP 4.1 uses the standard Windows
Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI). This SSPI follows the
standard published in "Generic Security Service Application
Program Interface, Version 2" (RFC 2078).</P>
<P>
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">Royalty and Patent Issues</SPAN></P>
<P>
The Ultimate ToolBox TCP/IP 4.1 does not require Third Party Licensing for patented
materials. The Ultimate ToolBox TCP/IP 4.1 employs standard Windows libraries which
are included with the operating system and the current version of
Internet Explorer. The Ultimate ToolBox TCP/IP 4.1 is Royalty Free!</P>
<P>
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">Encryption Strength and Key Length</SPAN></P>
<P>
The encryption strength of the installed MS Internet Explorer effects
your ability to successfully request, install, and use Certificate
Public Keys larger than 512. We highly recommend that users upgrade
their browsers to the latest versions available.</P>
<P>
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">Explorer Encryption Pack</SPAN></P>
<P>
Note: The Microsoft Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack is
eligible for export from the U.S. to all customers worldwide, except
to U.S. embargoed destinations. Information on exporting Microsoft
products is available at <<A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/">http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/</A>></P>

Overview of the The Ultimate ToolBox TCP/IP Sample Applications<A NAME="Overview_of_the_Sample_Applications"></A></H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
There are twelve (12) VC++, Platform SDK sample applications.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">Client Sample Applications:</SPAN></P>
<P>
1) History Control</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: The History control provides
a fast and easy way to output data to a window. The user has
the option of logging status information to a file, changing various
font attributes of text (background and foreground color, alignment,
etc.) as well as specifying the path and filename of the logfile.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
2) Finger Client</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: Allows the user to finger a valid
address (assuming the server of the specified address supports the
finger protocol). The results of the finger can either be
logged to a specified filename or retrieved using the GetReturnLine function.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
3) FTP Client</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: The primary function of FTP is to
transfer files efficiently and reliably among Hosts and to allow the
convenient use of remote file storage capabilities. The FTP
control lets the user handle FTP connections quickly and painlessly.
Directory functions, resuming uploads, control over timeout
settings and a choice of transfer types are but a few of the features
that this robust class offers you. Firewall transfers (PASV) are supported.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
4) HTTP Client</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: The HTTP control offers
convenient ways to interact with Web servers. Various http
header fields can be quickly obtained, and support is implemented for
dealing with proxy servers as well. In addition, you can send
custom commands to servers via our CommandLine function. <BR>
Retrieved data can either be stored into memory and then retrieved or
it can be piped directly into a file. <BR>
Some of the other features include setting different communication
ports, user-defined timeout intervals, and being able to adjust the
buffer in memory which stores retrieved data.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
5) Mail Client</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: This control implements the client
part of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol; therefore, you can easily
connect to the SMTP server and send e-mail messages. The sample
Mail client also implements the client part of the Post Office
Protocol; It's used to manage the new messages of the user stored on
the server. With the help of this control, you can easily
connect to the POP3 server, get the number of messages available,
retrieve messages or part of them, and mark/unmark messages for deletion.<BR>
</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
6) MX Lookup Control</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: This control performs DNS lookups
specifically for MX records for a given domain.<BR>
A robust SMTP server (and some clients) needs to be able to properly
identify all of the mail exchange (MX) servers associated with a
given domain. These exchanges are retrieved using the Domain Name
Service (DNS) protocol.<BR>
This control uses an extensive search algorithm which allows it to
find all the MX records even if the DNS server settings are not
completely correct.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
7) Ping Control</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: Send and receive ICMP echo
(Ping) messages. Discover if a remote address is available
either for debugging or before embarking on a connect operation.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
8) UDP Control</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: Monitor and Trace.</P>
<P>
<!-- $MVD$:spaceretainer() --></P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight : bold;">Server Sample Applications:</SPAN></P>
<P>
1) Finger Server Control</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: Implements the Finger user
information protocol server which provides an interface to a remote
user information client program. The client sends a request to the
server on a particular user or domain, and the server returns with
all of the available information.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
2) FTP Server</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: This control encapsulates
the server frame of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), RFC 959. You
can use it as provided (i.e. without deriving your own class.) to
implement a fully functional FTP server. On the other hand, this
class allows you to write your own custom FTP server that your client
programs will be contacting. </P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
3) HTTP Server</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: Implements the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
4) Mail Server </P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
<I>Functionality Demonstrated</I>: This control implements SMTP,
POP3, and enhanced NS Lookup<!-- $MVD$:spaceretainer() --> </P>
