Overview
The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) is used with servers
that provide news services. This is similar in functionality to
bulletin boards or message boards, where topics are organized
hierarchically into groups, called newsgroups. Users can browse and
search for messages, called news articles, which have been posted
by other users. On many servers, they can also post their own
articles which can be read by others. The largest collection of
public newsgroups available is called USENET, a world-wide
distributed discussion system. In addition, there are a large
number of smaller news servers. For example, Catalyst Development
operates a news server which methods as a forum for technical
questions and announcements.
The SocketTools library provides a comprehensive interface for
accessing newsgroups, retrieving articles and posting new articles.
In combination with the Mail Message library to process the news
articles, SocketTools can be used to integrate newsgroup access
with an existing e-mail application, or you can implement your own
full-featured newsgroup client.
This library supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any programming language that supports calling functions exported
from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual
C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.
This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using
Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3)
installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical
updates to the Windows operating system be installed.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP
Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it
is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library,
not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM
registration.
