Remarks
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. A SocketTools Secure Library Edition license
must be purchased to use the security features in this library.
Requirements
This library is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you are

that you install Internet Explorer 7.0. It is also recommended that
all critical updates to the Windows operating system be

The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any development environment that supports calling functions
exported from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). This includes
Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and
Visual Studio 2008. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++
6.0, it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed.

that you have the current updates for your development tools
installed.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, you
should install the appropriate files in the same folder as your
application executable. This library is a standard Windows dynamic
link library and not a self-registering COM component.
