About BetweenUs
===============
BetweenUs is a real-time chat program for individual and
corporate users who want to keep sensitive information
away from prying eyes. The strongest encryption algorithms
used in BetweenUs ensure uncompromising privacy that no
other chat tool can offer today. A user-friendly customizable
interface and convenient online directory service provide
an excellent environment  for secure communication,
file transfers, and private conferencing  with your friends
and colleagues. Up to 100 users can chat simultaneously.

The three ciphers offered by BetweenUs are CAST (128-bit
key), Triple DES (168-bit key), and Blowfish (448-bit key).
They are the most reliable and proven ciphers that have 
resisted any form of cryptanalysis by the best 
mathematicians in the world. Developed and compiled outside
of the USA, BetweenUs has no back doors or escrow keys and 
is not subject to US export restrictions.

BetweenUs can be easily integrated with ICQ and used for 
conducting chat that requires more privacy than the standard 
chat and messaging tools like ICQ or IRC.

SmartWhois - a handy utility for obtaining information
about any IP address or hostname in the world. Unlike
standard whois utilities, SmartWhois automatically
delivers information associated with an IP address no
matter where it is registered geographically. In just
a few seconds you get all you want to know about a 
user: domain, network name, country, state or
province, city. Even if the IP address cannot be 
resolved to a hostname, SmartWhois won't fail.

utility for connecting to remote resources  over
the network, convenient for Win NT users and
