Product Description:
----------------------

The most versatile set of Internet Tools ever created, offering
professional solutions in a compact, intuitive package.
Many times you find yourself needing some functionality that 
other online apps do not offer, possibly your mailbox is full 
and you would like to preview its contents without downloading, 
or you would like a pinger to help keep you online, server 
tracker, auto-dialer, etc.  Internet shareware in general 
seems to be over-priced, so as a full-time professional 
developer, I wrote these tools at a price range anyone can 
afford:  10 programs (more if I have time) for Twenty bucks.

Inside the Internet Lockpicks, you will find:


1. Email Manipulator 

Allows previewing your messages without 
downloading.  Delete some or all of your mail (from a 
selectable list), completely nuke your mailbox, or send a 
quick message.  Since no mail is retrieved from your server, 
the entire process takes only minutes.

- Preview your messages without downloading
- Select any mail to delete from your server remotely, instead 
  of fetching the entire batch
- Delete your mailbox contents - up to 10 messages per second
- Send out a brief email without loading a formal mail program
 

2. Internet Loafer

Pings a server every few seconds to keep you online.

- Ping a server at a customizable interval
- Status icons in your taskbar to help you quickly see a failed ping
- Convenient taskbar icon to keep it out of your way when minimized
- Stop pinging, then restart at any time
- Show local IP address at all times
- Ability to ping at random times to avoid a pattern on the server
- Customizable server, port, interval and actions to take when launched
- Remembers your settings between sessions - no need to re-type
- Detailed status and progress messages throughout the ping
- Ability to ping extra times during processing
- Uses a socket connect instead of a ping to ensure compatibility with 
  all servers
- Intuitive, easy to use Windows 95 interface with attractive 
  Explorer-type buttons


3. Server Pursuit

Check up to 25 SMTP, POP3, FTP or WWW servers at 
customizable intervals.  If one goes down:  Send an alert message, 
pop up a notice, log to a file, and more.  Very useful for admins 
or an internet provider shopper, who wants to see how reliable a 
provider is.  Lots of configurable options.


4. Task Trooper

Dials your Internet provider and stays online for a 
configurable time, checking your mailbox, fetching up to 15 updated 
weather maps, downloading a World Wide Web file, or running programs.  
Then he hangs up automatically at your specified time.

- Run a program - start up a mail or newsgroup reader, your favorite 
  Internet utility, or even the Internet Lockpicks!

- Download 17 weather maps - what is tomorrow’s forecast?  Find out by 
  fetching some weather maps, updated every minute off the 
  Weather Channel’s.home page.  But instead of visiting their site, 
  browse offline!  Choose from the following:

    Surface Weather Map
    United States Satellite Image 
    Yesterday's High Temperatures
    Today's Highs
    This Afternoon's Forecast
    Tomorrow Afternoon's Forecast
    Tomorrow Morning's Lows
    Tomorrow Morning's Forecast
    Central U.S. Satellite Image
    Northeast U.S. Satellite Image
    Northwest U.S. Satellite Image
    Southeast U.S. Satellite Image
    Southwest U.S. Satellite Image
    U.S. West Coast Satellite Image 
    National Precipitation Forecast
    Alaska Satellite Image 
    Hawaii Satellite Image 

- Check your mail - get the number of messages waiting in several 
  mailboxes, and log to a file

- Download World Wide Web file - fetch any file on the net, including 
  HTML, graphics, Zip files, programs and more.  You did not download 
  that new game demo because it was 5 megabytes?  Rather than sitting 
  around, watching its progress, fetch that huge demo while you are asleep!


5. LiquidMail

Subscribe yourself or a friend to multiple mailing lists 
automatically.  Configurable starting/stopping points, hosts, and more.  
Lightning fast.

- Imports 1000+ E-Mail lists from a conveniently downloaded web file 
  (of master lists).  Entire process takes only minutes, and can be 
  updated easily

- Allows setting start/stop points.  Subscribe yourself or someone to 
  a few thousands lists

- Customized SMTP server.  Use an overseas SMTP server or a local 
  one for your convenience

- Very professional appearance and design, within a solid, stable 
  Windows 95/NT application.  Conducts entire mail transaction during 
  one SMTP server connection, both for speed and effeciency
