Release notes:
Version 0.70b
- first beta release.
- if you have some cool icon ideas, let me know. I haven't
invested much time pixel-clicking, as you can see.
- it is a known problem that the bottom 'status bar' is
clipped. I'm currently fighting with OWL to fix this.
- yes, the executable is way to big. I'm working on it. :)
- yes, the user interface is ugly. I'm working on it. :)
Thanks to: "Programming Winsock" by Arthur Dumas (SAMS Publishing)
This book provided me with a conceptual starting point
for my own Winsock class library. Definately a great book
for anyone interested in learning how to write Winsock
applications. **** - four stars.
To do:
User interface clean-up
Directory caching
Ability to save/load host profiles
Do not ask for:
- "Port searching"
Yeah, sounds cool. Until the sysadmin at the site you are
searching on sees someone scanning a bunch of ports with UDP
packets. They assume a hacker, and bad stuff occurs.
If someone wants you to use their site, they will give you
the port number.
- FTP support. Check out WS_FTP. It's way cool. No way I'm
gonna try to top that.
