About IPWorks
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.

Features -- IP*Works for Windows CE
The IP*Works for Windows CE package consists of 16 C++ classes packaged in a 32 bit DLL, and is very similar to IPWorks C++ Edition for Win32. The classes contain native implementations of popular Internet protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP/POP, NNTP, Telnet, Rshell/Rexec, and much more. The package is priced at $995 per developer. The price includes royalty-free distribution for all the supported platforms.
