- 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.
