devSoft Inc. announces the release of two new editions of its popular IPWorks package

Research Triangle Park, NC - May 15, 1997 - devSoft Inc. announces the release of two new editions of its popular IPWorks package, a TCP/IP developer's toolkit for MS Windows, Windows 95, and Windows NT. The toolkit enables developers to build a wide range of Intranet and Internet applications using popular development environments such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi and others.

The two new editions, IPWorks ActiveX Edition and IP*Works Delphi Edition target the ActiveX/Internet and Delphi markets respectively. The first is a new rendition of the first edition of IPWorks (IPWorks Visual Basic Edition) optimized for use on the Internet where short download times are a must. The second is a native VCL version of the package for Delphi developers.

IPWorks contains simple high level programmable components, such as interfaces to Internet Mail and Usenet News, as well as powerful TCP/IP programming tools used to build generic clients and servers. All controls have simple yet powerful interfaces that shield developers from the complexity of TCP/IP programming while giving them access to a wide spectrum of Winsock features. Corporate developers will find the features they need to quickly enable their applications to participate in a TCP/IP network without steep learning curves. Internet developers will find fast components with small footprints that provide excellent performance over dialup links. IPWorks runs on top of the industry standard Winsock API and implements standard protocols specified in Internet RFCs. The controls can be used with any Winsock 1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack.

IPWorks Editions are available immediately for $195 each plus any shipping and handling charges. IPWorks may be downloaded from devSoft's web site at http://www.dev-soft.com/ for free evaluation. Sample applications that demonstrate the capabilities of the controls are also available for free downloading with the package.
