The CD included with this book contains two sets of software, including the applications described in the book, and third-party demo and evaluation software.
These applications are located in the \CODE directory of the CD.
Each of the subdirectories contains a single project, including
a Developer Studio project workspace and either a debug or release
version of the program. Most of the C++ programs were compiled
with Visual C++ 4.1 and should also compile with version 4.2.

(\SOFTWARE\PEKICZOL)
HTMLEx is an ISAPI Filter (DLL) for Microsoft's Internet Information Server. (IIS in the following text.) The use of this filter enhances the HTM pages with features such as customizable text and graphic counters, greeting messages with client's browser and host name, automatic generation of last update date/time values, inclusion of unlimited number of randomly generated URLs and/or images (e.g. for ads) on the page, etc.: all of this on a per-page basis without writing a single line of CGI code! These features are configured by various sections of an INI file, which has the same name and location as its corresponding HTM file, or using the HTMLEx key in registry. For each HTM file, HTMLEx will also generate its own log file (also in Windows INI file compatible layout). If script language execution is enabled, the expanded form of HTM file is taken to be a special script file, which is interpreted by TMLEx and the result of execution is than finally sent to client.

EsRas is a 32-bit control that handles all aspects of a RAS connection. You can connect to another computer, do your work, close the connection and then process the data off line. You can also define new RAS entries entirely under computer control. This is the perfect control for the service provider in need of a way to define new customized entries for his customers. It's also a valuable tool for people who need to do automatic connections to a remote network.
This is our MIME-aware mail control that encapsulates the SMTP protocol. It handles attachments (as many as you like) with BASE64 encoding as well as Quoted-printable encoding of both the subject line and/or the message body. This makes it possible to handle letters containing characters like the Swedish åäöÅÄÖ. If you just need BASE64 encoding, this control can also be used as an encoder for some other mail package.
You can add header lines and can also control the MIME content among many other features. The control can also be used in HTML pages to send form input to some application, send anonymous mail, etc.
This is a 32-bit control that can be used to fetch mail from a POP server. It's easy to use and it is safe.
This is a 32-bit DES crypto component. This control allows you to encrypt/decrypt strings, files, etc., using a 64-bit key.

Cyberiad Software's CyberFTS is a comprehensive set of functions for text retrieval and information discovery. Based on the CyberCore Information Discovery Engine, the compilation of document indexes can be easily managed, updated and browsed with speed and accuracy. CyberFTS includes Windows DLLs and an OLE Custom Control (OCX) for rapid application development.
The CyberFTS DLL function set includes calls for creating and managing a database of documents, calls for adding individual documents, directories and even drives of documents to the database. Retrieval of documents uses simple natural queries. Logical (boolean) relations may be embedded in the retrieval requests and detection of literal phrases is supported. Searches may be based on stemmed, sounds-like, and fuzzy matches.
CyberFTS includes the CyberIndex OLE custom control for even faster application development. The control supports all the basic functions of the DLL function set, but with the advantages of OLE controls.
CyberFTS is based on the CyberCore Information Discovery Engine. CyberCore supports indexing of all common file formats including ASCII text, Microsoft Write, Microsoft Word 6.x, WordPerfect 5.x and 6.x, Lotus AmiPro 3.0, Rich Text Format, HTML (World Wide Web pages) and even partial-text files such as Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Access files. Even files which are primarily binary but may contain important library terms such as DLLs, executables, image files, and other non-text files may also be indexed and managed.
CyberFTS includes full online help (CyberFTS DLL Help, CyberIndex OCX Help), and online sample code for easy application prototyping. A sample application in Visual Basic is provided to ease integration and provide a basic project framework from which to build complete solutions.
