Check home page for updates!) Product Description: ---------------------- The most versatile set of Internet Tools ever created, offering professional solutions in a compact, intuitive package. Many times you find yourself needing some functionality that other online apps do not offer, possibly your mailbox is full and you would like to preview its contents without downloading, or you would like a pinger to help keep you online, server tracker, auto-dialer, etc. Internet shareware in general seems to be over-priced, so as a full-time professional developer, I wrote these tools at a price range anyone can afford: 10 programs (more if I have time) for Twenty bucks. Inside the Internet Lockpicks, you will find: 1. Email Manipulator Allows previewing your messages without downloading. Delete some or all of your mail (from a selectable list), completely nuke your mailbox, or send a quick message. Since no mail is retrieved from your server, the entire process takes only minutes. - Preview your messages without downloading - Select any mail to delete from your server remotely, instead of fetching the entire batch - Delete your mailbox contents - up to 10 messages per second - Send out a brief email without loading a formal mail program 2. Internet Loafer Pings a server every few seconds to keep you online. - Ping a server at a customizable interval - Status icons in your taskbar to help you quickly see a failed ping - Convenient taskbar icon to keep it out of your way when minimized - Stop pinging, then restart at any time - Show local IP address at all times - Ability to ping at random times to avoid a pattern on the server - Customizable server, port, interval and actions to take when launched - Remembers your settings between sessions - no need to re-type - Detailed status and progress messages throughout the ping - Ability to ping extra times during processing - Uses a socket connect instead of a ping to ensure compatibility with all servers - Intuitive, easy to use Windows 95 interface with attractive Explorer-type buttons 3. Server Pursuit Check up to 25 SMTP, POP3, FTP or WWW servers at customizable intervals. If one goes down: Send an alert message, pop up a notice, log to a file, and more. Very useful for admins or an internet provider shopper, who wants to see how reliable a provider is. Lots of configurable options. 4. Task Trooper Dials your Internet provider and stays online for a configurable time, checking your mailbox, fetching up to 15 updated weather maps, downloading a World Wide Web file, or running programs. Then he hangs up automatically at your specified time. - Run a program - start up a mail or newsgroup reader, your favorite Internet utility, or even the Internet Lockpicks! - Download 17 weather maps - what is tomorrow’s forecast? Find out by fetching some weather maps, updated every minute off the Weather Channel’s.home page. But instead of visiting their site, browse offline! Choose from the following: Surface Weather Map United States Satellite Image Yesterday's High Temperatures Today's Highs This Afternoon's Forecast Tomorrow Afternoon's Forecast Tomorrow Morning's Lows Tomorrow Morning's Forecast Central U.S. Satellite Image Northeast U.S. Satellite Image Northwest U.S. Satellite Image Southeast U.S. Satellite Image Southwest U.S. Satellite Image U.S. West Coast Satellite Image National Precipitation Forecast Alaska Satellite Image Hawaii Satellite Image - Check your mail - get the number of messages waiting in several mailboxes, and log to a file - Download World Wide Web file - fetch any file on the net, including HTML, graphics, Zip files, programs and more. You did not download that new game demo because it was 5 megabytes? Rather than sitting around, watching its progress, fetch that huge demo while you are asleep! 5. LiquidMail Subscribe yourself or a friend to multiple mailing lists automatically. Configurable starting/stopping points, hosts, and more. Lightning fast. - Imports 1000+ E-Mail lists from a conveniently downloaded web file (of master lists). Entire process takes only minutes, and can be updated easily - Allows setting start/stop points. Subscribe yourself or someone to a few thousands lists - Customized SMTP server. Use an overseas SMTP server or a local one for your convenience - Very professional appearance and design, within a solid, stable Windows 95/NT application.
