Philadelphia, July 19th, 1999, 10th Annual Inprise & borland.com Developer Conference - devSoft Inc. - www.dev-soft.com - today announced the first beta release of IPWorks Java Edition Version 4.0 - a Pure Java version of its award-winning Internet Toolkit. IPWorks Java Edition consists of 20 Pure JavaBeans for easy, visual Internet programming.

Initially introduced in 1995, IPWorks is now in its 4th version, and is actively used by most Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies, as well as thousands of independent software developers worldwide. The product eliminates much of the complexity of developing connected applications, and is available in several editions, including ActiveX Controls, C++ Classes, C Libraries, Native Delphi and C++ Builder VCLs, and now JavaBeans.

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 components have simple, yet powerful, interfaces that shield developers from the complexity of TCP/IP programming. 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 Java Edition implements standard protocols specified in Internet RFCs, and is written in Java for extreme portability across platforms.

The high-performance Java Beans in IPWorks contain everything you need to build powerful connected applications. From Email (SMTP / POP / IMAP / MIME), to Directories (LDAP), File and Data Transfer (FTP / HTTP), Remote Host Access (Rexec / Rshell / Telnet), DNS and Network Management (SNMP / IPInfo / ICMPPort / MX), to Generic Clients/Servers (IPPort / IPDaemon / Multicast / UDPPort), and more!
