看来我太急了,说不清,我说的是,在office 的 Access97这个软件上,上头要我用Access97写一个MDB文件来做接口,读取其它几个MDB,当运行这个MDB时候,就象VB的界面一样,让用户可浏览其它的数据库(绑定在Access97自带的报表上显示),这在VB很容易,但在Access97上,因为我没用过,所以根本不明白怎么做。

说的详细一些,
应该是可以同时打开多个数据库的,
Sub OpenDatabaseX()

Dim wrkJet As Workspace
Dim dbsNorthwind As Database
Dim dbsPubs As Database
Dim dbsPubs2 As Database
Dim dbsLoop As Database
Dim prpLoop As Property

' Create Microsoft Jet Workspace object.
Set wrkJet = CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)

' Open Database object from saved Microsoft Jet database
' for exclusive use.
MsgBox "Opening Northwind..."
Set dbsNorthwind = wrkJet.OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb", _

True)

' Open read-only Database object based on information in
' the connect string.
MsgBox "Opening pubs..."
Set dbsPubs = wrkJet.OpenDatabase("Publishers", _
dbDriverNoPrompt, True, _
"ODBC;DATABASE=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=;DSN=Publishers")

' Open read-only Database object by entering only the
' missing information in the ODBC Driver Manager dialog
' box.
MsgBox "Opening second copy of pubs..."
Set dbsPubs2 = wrkJet.OpenDatabase("Publishers", _

dbDriverCompleteRequired, True, _
"ODBC;DATABASE=pubs;DSN=Publishers;")

' Enumerate the Databases collection.
For Each dbsLoop In wrkJet.Databases
Debug.Print "Database properties for " & _
dbsLoop.Name & ":"

On Error Resume Next
' Enumerate the Properties collection of each Database
' object.
For Each prpLoop In dbsLoop.Properties
If prpLoop.Name = "Connection" Then
' Property actually returns a Connection object.

Debug.Print " Connection[.Name] = " & _
dbsLoop.Connection.Name
Else
Debug.Print " " & prpLoop.Name & " = " & _
prpLoop
End If
Next prpLoop
On Error GoTo 0

Next dbsLoop

dbsNorthwind.Close
dbsPubs.Close
dbsPubs2.Close
wrkJet.Close

End Sub

救我啊,哪位高手能帮我一下?再迟点就没用啦。
STG (SNMP Traffic Grapher) version 1.4.5 Copyright (C) 2000 Leonid Mikhailov This freeware utility allows monitoring of supporting SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c devices including Cisco, Livingstone, Riverstone etc. Intended as fast aid for network administrators who need prompt access to current information about state of network equipment. Copyright In brief: You may use STG for any commercial and non commercial purpose. You may distribute STG for free. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy only. This program is distributed WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. Use it at your own risk. I cannot guarantee accuracy of displayed data. I am not liable to you for any possible damages etc... Source code is not available. Features: Single graph displays changes of two configurable SNMP variables with display of Current, Average, Maximum values. Screen snapshot: http://www.chat.ru/~leonidvm/stg.jpg Could be downloaded from: http://www.chat.ru/~leonidvm/ ftp://ftp.naytov.com/pub/stg/ Newer versions will be there too. STG was written as an add-on for MRTG application by Tobias Oetiker. MRTG (http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html) is absolutely necessary for every network and system administrator. It provides SNMP monitoring of any number devices simultaneously. However during my duties I often have to check state of ports on different routers that are not always in my domain and setting MRTG configuration takes some time. And does not allow to see last second changes in traffic. That's why STG was written. It allows monitoring of SNMP devices with different update periods starting from 0.01s so you could see what's happening right now. Also STG could be useful during network problems troubleshooting. It runs on MS Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 and Windows Millenium. To run it on WinNT 4.0 you may need mgmtapi.dll and mib.bin (see below) To run it on Win98 and Millenium you will need mg
WELCOME TO TURBO C 2.0 ---------------------- This README file contains important, last minute information about Turbo C 2.0. The HELPME!.DOC file on the COMMAND LINE/UTILITIES disk also answers many common Technical Support questions. TABLE OF CONTENTS ----------------- 1. How to Get Help 2. Installation 3. Important Notes 4. Corrections to the Manuals 5. Additional Notes 6. Notes for Turbo Prolog Users 7. Files on the Disks 1. HOW TO GET HELP ------------------- If you have any problems, please read this file, the HELPME!.DOC file, and the Turbo C manuals first. If you still have a question and need assistance, help is available from the following sources: 1. Type GO BOR on the CompuServe bulletin board system for instant access to the Borland forums with their libraries of technical information and answers to common questions. If you are not a member of CompuServe, see the enclosed special offer, and write for full details on how to receive a free IntroPak containing a $15 credit toward your first month's on- line charges. 2. Check with your local software dealer or users' group. 3. Write to us at the following address: Borland International Turbo C Technical Support 1800 Green Hills Road P.O. Box 660001 Scotts Valley, CA 95066-0001 Please remember to include your serial number or we will be unable to process your letter. 4. If you have an urgent problem that cannot wait and you have sent in the license agreement from the front of your manual, you may call the Borland Technical Support Department at (408) 438-5300. Please have the following information ready before calling: a. Product name and serial number on your original distribution disk. Please have your serial number ready or we will be unable to process your call. b. Product version number. The version number for Turbo C is displayed when you first load the program and before you press any keys. c. Computer brand, model, and the brands and model numbers of any additional hardware. d. Operating system and version number. (The version number can be determined by typing VER at the MSDOS prompt.) e. Contents of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. f. Contents of your CONFIG.SYS file. 2. INSTALLATION ---------------- The INSTALL/HELP disk contains a program called INSTALL.EXE that will assist you with the installation of Turbo C 2.0. There are three options for installation: 1. Hard Disk - This option allows you to pick the subdirectories where the files will be loaded. It will create a TURBOC.CFG file based on those directories. 2. Update from TC 1.5 - This allows for an easy update from version 1.5. After the files are copied, all the installed options from your current TC.EXE will be transferred to the new one. This is especially useful if you have modified the colors or editor keys. 3. Floppy Disk - This option will build either a command line or Integrated Development Environment version for a two drive system. Be sure to have three formatted disks ready before you start. To start the installation, change your current drive to the one that has the install program on it and type INSTALL. You will be given instructions in a box at the bottom of the screen for each prompt. For example, if you will be installing from drive A:, type: A: INSTALL You should read the rest of this README file to get further information about this release before you do the installation. 3. IMPORTANT NOTES ------------------- o The file HELPME!.DOC contains discussions of common questions and answers concerning Turbo C 2.0. You should consult it for answers to problems that aren't covered in this file or in the manuals. o If you are running INSTALL or TCINST on a laptop or any other system that uses an LCD or composite display, you should set your system to black and white mode before running INSTALL or TCINST. You can do this from DOS with the following command line: mode bw80 or, you can force INSTALL or TCINST to come up in black and white mode by using the /b switch: tcinst /b o /P PARAMETER FOR TC.EXE. A new command-line switch controls palette swapping on EGA video adapters. Using this switch tc /p hello is recommended only when the user program modifies the EGA palette registers. When /P is specified, the EGA palette will be restored each time the screen is swapped. In general, you don't need to use this switch unless your program modifies the EGA palette registers, or unless your program uses BGI to change the palette. o A program that takes over interrupt 9 cannot be debugged with the integrated debugger. Use the standalone Turbo Debugger instead. o exec() WITH NOVELL NETWORK. Versions of the Novell network system software earlier than 2.01-2 do not support a DOS call used by exec(), spawn(), and system(). If you are using the Integrated Development Environment to run a program that uses any of these functions and you have early Novell system software, run the program from DOS. To do this from the Integrated Development Environment you can use Alt-F/O. o If you used the INSTALL program to upgrade from version 1.5, or if you used CINSTXFR to transfer options from an installation of version 1.5, check the setting of the standard stack frame option in the Integrated Development Environment (Alt-O/C/C/S). If you are going to use the integrated debugger this option should be turned ON. o If you are having problems with the call stack or qualified names, make sure you have compiled with the standard stack frame option turned on. o The ANSI draft has changed the syntax of labels. A label now must always be followed by a statement. This means that code like this is no longer accepted: { . . . jump_label: } If you have code like this, change it to look like this: { . . . jump_label: ; /* need a statement here! */ } o TCC has a switch to specify which assembler to look for. By default, it will look for TASM.EXE. If you want to use a different assembler, use -E, as described in the Reference Guide. o When using THELP on an AT&T 6300, be sure to use the /L25 command-line option, as described in the file THELP.DOC. o When you use qualified variable names as described on page 57 of the User's Guide you don't need to use the module name to access a variable that is local to a global function. The module name is only needed when you access a static variable or a variable that is local to a static function. o Because of the limited memory available in the Tiny model, it no longer supports graphics functions. o The Version 1.5 graphics drivers (*.BGI) are not compatible with the Version 2.0 graphics library. Use the graphics drivers distributed with Version 2.0. o When used with a Zenith Z-449 card, the BGI autodetection code will always select the 640X480 enhanced EGA mode. If you are using the Z-449 with a monitor that is not compatible with this mode, it will be necessary to override the GraphDriver and GraphMode parameters used in the BGI initgraph() call. 4. CORRECTIONS TO THE MANUALS ------------------------------ REFERENCE GUIDE: Page 159 The prototype for the function getdefaultpallette() is incorrect. It should be struct palettetype * far _Cdecl getdefaultpalette( void ); USER'S GUIDE: Page 57 In the section entitled "Qualifying Variable Names," the last sentence should read "...need to type only myfunc.myvar." 66 The directions for compiling the WORDCNT program are incorrect. There is no WORDCNT.PRJ file; all you need to do is load the file WORDCNT.C into the editor. Once you have done that, the rest of the instructions are correct. 5. ADDITIONAL NOTES -------------------- 5.1 NOTES FOR VERSION 1.0 & 1.5 USERS ------------------------------------- o You must use the Version 2.0 libraries with the 2.0 compilers. o The Integrated Development Environment no longer displays the message "Press any key to return to Turbo C..." when your program terminates. Instead, at the end of your program the User screen is replaced by the Integrated Development Environment. To view the User screen, press Alt-F5 or select Alt-R/S. When you are viewing the User screen, pressing any key will return you to the Integrated Development Environment. o A new pseudo-variable has been added. _FLAGS now contains the value of the flags register so you can test the flags at any point in your program. o The ssignal() and gsignal() functions are no longer supported. See the section in this README on how to convert programs that use them. o The cprintf() function now works as documented. It does not translate line-feeds into CR/LF combinations. o Some compatibles had a problem under Version 1.5 because it used interrupt 18H. Version 2.0 does not use this interrupt, so you shouldn't encounter this problem anymore. o The program TCINST.COM in Version 1.0 has been changed to an .EXE file. You should delete the TCINST.COM program before trying to run the new TCINST.EXE. Otherwise, MS-DOS will actually run the old one. o The FILE structure for streams in Version 1.0 (but not 1.5) has been changed, so that the function tmpfile() could be implemented. You should recompile any modules that use stream I/O. 5.2 THELP ---------- THELP is a memory-resident utility program that gives you access to the Turbo C context-sensitive help system from any program. You don't need to use THELP if you're in the Integrated Development Environment, but it is especially useful if you use the command line compiler and your own text editor, or if you are debugging with the standalone Turbo Debugger. To use THELP, load THELP.COM into memory by typing at the DOS command line: thelp You activate ("pop-up") THELP by typing its hot key -- by default numeric keypad <5>. All Turbo C help commands apply (F1, Ctrl-F1, Alt-F1). For a complete description of THELP, refer to THELP.DOC in the Documentation Subdirectory. 5.3 USING CINSTXFR.EXE ---------------------- Your Turbo C 2.0 package contains a program named CINSTXFR.EXE, which can be used to transfer the configuration of the Integrated Development Environment from your copy of Turbo C 1.5 (not for 1.0) to your new installation of Turbo C 2.0. This program is run automatically by INSTALL.EXE if you select the option to "Update Hard Drive Copy of Turbo C 1.5 to Turbo C 2.0." If you prefer to do this yourself, you can run CINSTXFR.EXE from the DOS command line. CINSTXFR.EXE takes two arguments: the first is the name of your Turbo C 1.5 Integrated Development Environment file (usually TC.EXE), and the second is the name of your Turbo C 2.0 Integrated Development Environment file (also usually TC.EXE). Either one of these names can also include a path name. For example, if your copy of the Turbo C 1.5 Integrated Development Environment file is named TC.EXE and is in a directory named \TURBOC and your copy of the Turbo C 2.0 Integrated Development Environment file is also named TC.EXE but is located in a directory named \TC2, the command line to copy the configuration from 1.5 to 2.0 would look like this: CINSTXFR \TURBOC\TC.EXE \TC2\TC.EXE This will transfer all the options that you installed in your copy of Turbo C 1.5 to your copy of Turbo C 2.0. CINSTXFR.EXE does not work with Turbo C 1.0. If you are upgrading from Turbo C 1.0, you will have to install the options yourself. 5.4 CHANGED SWITCHES FOR OBJXREF -------------------------------- OBJXREF is an object module cross reference utility and is described on page 528 of the Turbo C Reference Guide. The /O option (object files directory) has been changed to the /D (directories) option. The switch now allows for multiple search directories to be specified. The new syntax is: OBJXREF /Ddir1[;dir2[;dir3]] or OBJXREF /Ddir1 [/Ddir2] [/Ddir3] OBJXREF will search each of the directories in the specified order for all object and library files. If no /D option is used, only the current directory will be searched. However, if a /D option is used, the current directory will NOT be searched unless it is included in the directory list. For example, to first search the BORLAND directory for files and then search the current directory, you would type OBJXREF /Dborland;. If multiple search directories are specified and a file matching the file specification is found, OBJXREF will include the file as part of the cross-reference. OBJXREF will only continue to search the other directories for the same file specification if the file specification contains wildcards. A new option has been added to allow you to specify an output file where OBJXREF will send any reports generated. The new option is the /O option, and has the following syntax: OBJXREF myfile.obj /RU /Ofilename.ext By default, all output is sent to the console. 5.5 CONVERSION INFORMATION FOR ssignal() AND gsignal() ------------------------------------------------------ Note: The C library and SIGNAL.H no longer support the ssignal() and gsignal() functions. ssignal() and gsignal() were from the old UNIX System III days. The ANSI standard no longer supports them nor does the current UNIX System V Interface Definition specification. To ease portation problems for people moving older code to Turbo C, we supply the source for the functions that came with TC 1.0 and TC 1.5. Also, the following discussion describes how code can be converted to do the same sort of things that ssignal() and gsignal() do without actually using them. NOTE: The constants defined in SIGNAL.H for SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL are different from the constants that were in TC 1.0 and TC 1.5. By using a globally declared array of function pointers, you can simulate the actions of ssignal() and gsignal() by using the following macros. Notice how the global table entry [0] is used as a temporary variable in the ssignal macro allowing the macro to swap the values and still return the original one. int (*_sigTable[16]) = { SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, SIG_IGN, }; #define ssignal(num, action) \ ( \ (((num) < 1) || ((num) > 15)) ? SIG_DFL : \ ( \ (_sigTable[0] = _sigTable[(num)]), /* List of actions */ \ _sigTable[(num)] = (action), /* The last expression */ \ _sigTable[0] /* is the return value */ \ ) \ ) \ #define gsignal(num) \ ( \ (((num) < 1) || ((num) > 15)) ? 0 : \ ( \ (_sigTable[(num)] == SIG_IGN) ? 1 : \ ( \ (_sigTable[(num)] == SIG_DFL) ? 0 : (*_sigTable[(num)])() \ ) \ ) \ ) \ 6. NOTES FOR TURBO PROLOG USERS -------------------------------- o If you are linking C code with programs generated by Turbo Prolog 2.0, use the file INIT.OBJ provided on the EXAMPLES/BGI/MISC disk of the Turbo C 2.0 package instead of the file provided with Turbo Prolog 2.0. There have been some changes made in Turbo C 2.0 that require the use of this new file. o If your C code uses floating point math and you link with the emulator library, Prolog will not automatically detect a math coprocessor chip. If you want to force the program to use the coprocessor, link it with FP87.LIB instead of EMU.LIB. 7.

I can't list all contributors here but I want to specially thanks two specially active contributors: - Arno Garrels - Angus Robertson Latest versions: --------------- The latest versions of ICS can be downloaded from the ICS Wiki web site: http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download ICS V5 and V6 are archive releases no longer updated, last supported release was 2007. ICS V7 is a stable release that may still be updated for major bugs, but not for new releases of Delphi, latest it supported was XE3. ICS V8 is the current development release which is held in a public Version Control repository that is zipped each night for easy download. The download page above also includes the OpenSSL binaries needed to support SSL. ICS V8 supports Delphi 64-bit and Mac OS-X projects. Note that latest C++ Builder version supported is XE3 (lack of spare time, sorry). ICS V9 is in early development and is planned to support Android. There are no current plans for ICS for iOS. Version Control repository: --------------------------- svn://svn.overbyte.be/ics or http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics (Usercode = ics, password = ics) Installation: ------------- ICS V8 has been designed for Embarcadero Delphi 2009 and up, and C++ Builder 2009 and up, but is fully compatible with Borland Delphi 7 and CodeGear 2006 and 2007. Embarcadero RAD Studio includes Delphi and C++ Builder. http://www.embarcadero.com/ With Delphi XE2 and later, VCL 64-bit Windows targets are supported for Delphi only. Currently FireMonkey is partly supported for Delphi only (there are still a few non-ported components). ICS for Mac OSX is currently experimental. The zip file has sub-directories in it. You must use the WinZip "Use folder names" option to restore this directory tree or you will have problems because the files would not be in their proper subdirectories. Please note most of these directories are differently named to ICS V7 and earlier, to ease support of multiple versions of Delphi and platforms, and to ease location of similar sample projects. Please don't install V8 over an existing V7 installation, it will be a mess of old and new. This is the new V8 sub-directory layout: .\ Info directory .\Install Component packages project groups for all versions .\Packages (was Delphi\Vc32) Delphi (7 and up) and C++Builder (2006 and up) packages projects .\Source (was Delphi\Vc32) ICS Delphi source code built into packages .\Source\Include (was Delphi\Vc32) .inc files (including OverbyteIcsDefs.inc) .\Source\Extras (was Delphi\Vc32) Extra source code not built into packages .\Source\zobj125 (was Delphi\Vc32) ZLIB C OBJ include files .\Lib Unit output directories for all package builds, subdirectories | for 2007+ will be created on building the packages \$(Config) Release / Debug | \$(Platform) Win32 / Win64 / OSX32 | \ D7..XE8, 10 Seattle includes .dcu and .dfm files for Delphi and .obj and .hpp files for C++ Builder .\Samples Delphi Win32/Win64 common source for all demos .\Samples\delphi\BroswerDemo Delphi Win32/Win64 Web Browser sample application (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\BroswerDemo\Resources Resource file, web pages and movie linked into browser demo .\Samples\delphi\FtpDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 FTP sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\MailNewsDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 SMTP, POP3, NNTP sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\MiscDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 Miscellaneous applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\OtherDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 DNS, Ping, SNMP, Syslog sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\PlatformDemos Delphi FireMonkey and cross-platform samples (Delphi XE2+) .\Samples\delphi\SocketDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 Socket sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\sslinternet Delphi Win32/Win64 SSL-enabled sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos Delphi Win32/Win64 HTTP sample applications (all Delphi versions) .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos\WebAppServerData Directory for WebAppServ demo data files .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos\WebServData Directory for WebServ demo data files .\Samples\cpp\internet C++Builder sample applications .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2006 C++Builder 2006 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2007 C++Builder 2007 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2009 C++Builder 2009 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cb2010 C++Builder 2010 projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cbXE C++Builder XE projects .\Samples\cpp\internet\cbXE2 C++Builder XE2 projects UPGRADING and REINSTALLING Uninstall an existing ICS package (Menu | Component | Install Packages, select the component package and click Remove). Rename the old ICS directory and unzip to a new or empty directory, remove the old path from the library path and add either the new .\Source directory to the library path under Tools | Options |... or the appropriate .\Lib subdirectory according to version, ie .\Lib\Debug\Win32\D2007 for Delphi 2007. The latter has the advantage that the ICS source code won't be recompiled whenever your project is build. Also under Tools | Options |... add the new .\Source directory to the Browsing path. All DELPHI and C++ BUILDER VERSIONS/WIN32 Always upgrade your compiler with the latest update available from Embarcadero. Always update your system with http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com SSL or not SSL? By default the SSL code is compiled into the run-time package and additional SSL- enabled components are installed. In order to not compile the SSL code into the run-time package and to not install the SSL-Enabled components you need to remove the conditional define USE_SSL from both the run-time and design-time package. However if you do not build your applications with run-time packages it is recommended to build the packages with default settings. The SSL code will the be compiled into your applications depending on whether the conditional define USE_SSL is set in the project options or not (this requires having the .\Source directory in either in the library path or in projects Search path). Actual use of SSL in your applications also requires the OpenSSL files LIBEAY32.DLL and SSLEAY32.DLL being available somewhere in the path. Note different DLLs are needed for Win32 and Win64 applications. The ICS distribution includes the latest Win32 OpenSSL files in the .\OpenSSL-Win32 directory and the two main DLLs duplicated in .\Samples\delphi\sslinternet. Other OpenSSL files, including older and Win64, may be downloaded from: http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download INSTALLATION USING THE INSTALL PROJECT GROUPS For each Delphi and C++ Builder version one project group is provided in directory .\Install: Delphi 7 : D7Install.bpg Delphi 2006 : D2006Install.bdsgroup Delphi 2007 : D2007Install.groupproj Delphi 2009 : D2009Install.groupproj Delphi 2010 : D2010Install.groupproj Delphi XE : DXeInstall.groupproj Delphi XE2 : DXe2Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE2 : DXe2InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE3 : DXe3Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE3 : DXe3InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE4 : DXe4Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE4 : DXe4InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE5 : DXe5Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE5 : DXe5InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE6 : DXe6Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE6 : DXe6InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE7 : DXe7Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE7 : DXe7InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi XE8 : DXe8Install.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi XE8 : DXe8InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components Delphi 10 Seattle : D10SInstall.groupproj // VCL only, no FireMonkey components Delphi 10 Seattle : D10SInstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components C++ Builder 2006 : CB2006Install.bdsgroup C++ Builder 2007 : CB2007Install.groupproj C++ Builder 2009 : CB2009Install.groupproj C++ Builder 2010 : CB2010Install.groupproj C++ Builder XE : CBXeInstall.groupproj C++ Builder XE2 : CBXe2Install.groupproj // VCL only no FireMonkey components C++ Builder XE2 : CBXe2InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components C++ Builder XE3 : CBXe3InstallVclFmx.groupproj // Both VCL and FireMonkey components 1 - Do a File/Open Project, navigate to the Install directory, select the correct file and open it. The project manager view should now display two package projects, one run-time and one design-time package. The run-time package name contains the "Run" suffix. The design-time package name contains the "Design" suffix. 2 - Select and Build the run-time package (do not install). 3 - Select and Install the design-time package. After a few seconds, you should have a dialog box telling you the package has been installed with a bunch of new components registered in the Tool Palette under "Overbyte ICS" and "Overbyte ICS SSL". Then do a "Save All" and a "Close All". 4 - One package is installed, called 'Overbyte ICS Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx'. 5 - Various directories under .\Samples\delphi\ include samples that illustrate use of all the ICS components, see later. FIREMONKEY CROSS PLATFORM PACKAGES: 1 - For XE2 and later, DXe?Install (where ? is the version) installs VCL components only, while DXe?InstallVclFmx also installs FireMonkey cross platform components (three run time packages). In order to use this feature first uninstall the old design-time package. 2 = Build all three run-time packages for all available platforms (32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Mac OS X) in the order they are listed in project manager. 3 - Next build and install the three design-time packages in the order they are listed in project manager. 4 - Three packages are installed, called: 'Overbyte ICS Common Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx' 'Overbyte ICS FMX Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx' 'Overbyte ICS VCL Design-Time Package for Delphi xxx' Note that the new packaging is still beta/alpha, both package names and included units might change in a future beta drop. The old VCL packages are still there however they do no longer support FireMonkey and of course only one set of packages can be installed in the IDE at the same time, if you want both VCL and FMX install DXe2InstallVclFmx.groupproj only. Currently the XE2 package cache is buggy and should be disabled by adding the -nocache parameter. 5 - The .\Samples\delphi\PlatformDemos\ folder contains FireMonkey sample projects that may all be built with FireMonkey for Mac OS X (and Windows). ALTERNATE INSTALLATION USING THE PACKAGE PROJECT FILES: For each Delphi and C++ Builder version two package project files exist in the .\Packages directory. One run-time and one design-time package project file. The run-time file name contains the "Run" suffix. The design-time file name contains the "Design" suffix. PACKAGE PROJECT FILE NAMES - VCL: Delphi 7 : OverbyteIcsD7Run.dpk, OverbyteIcsD7Design.dpk Delphi 2006 : OverbyteIcsD2006Run.bdsproj, OverbyteIcsD2006Design.bdsproj Delphi 2007 : OverbyteIcsD2007Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsD2007Design.dproj Delphi 2009 : OverbyteIcsD2009Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsD2009Design.dproj Delphi 2010 : OverbyteIcsD2010Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsD2010Design.dproj Delphi XE : OverbyteIcsDXeRun.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXeDesign.dproj Delphi XE2 : OverbyteIcsDXe2Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE3 : OverbyteIcsDXe3Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE4 : OverbyteIcsDXe4Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE5 : OverbyteIcsDXe5Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE6 : OverbyteIcsDXe6Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE7 : OverbyteIcsDXe7Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE8 : OverbyteIcsDXe8Run.dproj, OverbyteIcsDXe8Design.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle : OverbyteIcsD10SRun.dproj, OverbyteIcsD10SDesign.dproj C++ Builder 2006 : OverbyteIcsCB2006Run.bdsproj, OverbyteIcsCB2006Design.bdsproj C++ Builder 2007 : OverbyteIcsCB2007Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCB2007Design.cbproj C++ Builder 2009 : OverbyteIcsCB2009Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCB2009Design.cbproj C++ Builder 2010 : OverbyteIcsCB2010Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCB2010Design.cbproj C++ Builder XE : OverbyteIcsCBXeRun.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCBXeDesign.cbproj C++ Builder XE2 : OverbyteIcsCBXe2Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCBXe2Design.cbproj C++ Builder XE3 : OverbyteIcsCBXe3Run.cbproj, OverbyteIcsCBXe3Design.cbproj PACKAGE PROJECT FILE NAMES - FireMonkey and VCL: Delphi XE2 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe2Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE2 VCL : IcsVclDXe2Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE2 FMX : IcsFmxDXe2Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe2Design.dproj Delphi XE3 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe3Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE3 VCL : IcsVclDXe3Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE3 FMX : IcsFmxDXe3Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe3Design.dproj Delphi XE4 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe4Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE4 VCL : IcsVclDXe4Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE4 FMX : IcsFmxDXe4Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe4Design.dproj Delphi XE5 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe5Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE5 VCL : IcsVclDXe5Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE5 FMX : IcsFmxDXe5Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe5Design.dproj Delphi XE6 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe6Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE6 VCL : IcsVclDXe6Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE6 FMX : IcsFmxDXe6Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe6Design.dproj Delphi XE7 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe7Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE7 VCL : IcsVclDXe7Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE7 FMX : IcsFmxDXe7Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe7Design.dproj Delphi XE8 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonDXe8Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe8Design.dproj Delphi XE8 VCL : IcsVclDXe8Run.dproj, IcsVclDXe8Design.dproj Delphi XE8 FMX : IcsFmxDXe8Run.dproj, IcsFmxDXe8Design.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle FMX/VCL: IcsCommonD10SRun.dproj, IcsCommonD10SDesign.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle VCL : IcsVclD10SRun.dproj, IcsVclD10SDesign.dproj Delphi 10 Seattle FMX : IcsFmxD10SRun.dproj, IcsFmxD10SDesign.dproj C++ Builder XE2 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonCBXe2Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe2Design.dproj C++ Builder XE2 VCL : IcsVclCBXe2Run.dproj, IcsVclCBXe2Design.dproj C++ Builder XE2 FMX : IcsFmxCBXe2Run.dproj, IcsFmxCBXe2Design.dproj C++ Builder XE3 FMX/VCL : IcsCommonCBXe3Run.dproj, IcsCommonDXe3Design.dproj C++ Builder XE3 VCL : IcsVclCBXe3Run.dproj, IcsVclCBXe3Design.dproj C++ Builder XE3 FMX : IcsFmxCBXe3Run.dproj, IcsFmxCBXe3Design.dproj 1 - Open and Build the run-time package project (do not install!). 2 - Open and Install the design-time package project. (Do a File/Open Project, browse to the .\Packages directory. Select the correct file and open it. Then in the project manager view, right-click on the package, then click on either the Build or Install button.) 3 - For Delphi XE2 and later, a 64-bit run-time package can be built by changing the package target platform to 64-bit Windows. This has the same name as the 32-bit package, so a different package output directory needs to be specified in Tools / Options / Delphi Options for 64-bit Windows. After a few seconds, you should have a dialog box telling you the package has been installed with a bunch of new components registered in the Tool Palette under "Overbyte ICS" and "Overbyte ICS SSL". Then do a "Save All" and a "Close All". DELPHI 2006/WIN32, 2007/WIN32, 2009/WIN32, 2010/WIN32, XE/WIN32: Having installed the package, verify that the appropriate Win32 Library Path (Tools / Options / Delphi Options / Library - Win32 / Library Path) has been added, .\Lib subdirectory according to version, ie .\Lib\Debug\Win32\D2007 for Delphi 2007. If not, add it manually. It is not mandatory to add .\Lib to the global Delphi path, but it will be much easier for you because otherwise you'll have to add it to each project. DELPHI XE2/WIN32, XE3/WIN32, XE4/WIN32, XE5/WIN32, XE6/WIN32, XE7/WIN32, XE8/WIN32, 10 Seattle/WIN32, XE2/WIN64, XE3/WIN64, XE4/WIN64, XE5/WIN64, XE6/WIN64, XE7/WIN64, XE8/WIN64, 10 Seattle/WIN64: Similar to above, but the Library path is specified separately for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Platforms. DELPHI 7: Add VC32 directory path to your library path (Tools menu / Environment Options / Library / Library Path. Add .\Lib\Debug\Win32\D7 path at the end of the existing path). SAMPLE DELPHI PROJECTS Once the package is installed, you may open the sample projects. The samples are split into several directories according to protocols, most with a project group that can be opened in all versions of Delphi. .\Samples\delphi\BroswerDemo .\Samples\delphi\FtpDemos\FtpDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\MailNewsDemos\MailNewsDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\MiscDemos\MiscDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\OtherDemos\OtherDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\PlatformDemos\XSamples.groupproj .\Samples\delphi\SocketDemos\SocketDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\sslinternet\SslDemos.bpg .\Samples\delphi\WebDemos\WebDemos.bpg Full details of the sample projects are shown later in this document. You might get some dialog box telling you that resource files are missing (they may not have been included in the zip file to save space) and are recreated by Delphi. It is OK. Any other error message is a problem you should fix. After all resource files have been recreated, you should see in the project manager a group of projects. To compile all samples in the group at once, do Project / Build all projects. This may take a few minutes. Note 1: Delphi may run out of memory if you ask to compile all projects at once. If you have not enough RAM, then compile each project individually. Note 2: Delphi has warnings which triggers a lot of messages for 100% OK code. You can turn those warnings off in the project/ options / Compiler messages and deselecting: "Deprecated symbol", "Platform symbol", "unsafe type", "unsafe code", "unsafe typecast". Those are intended for .NET and Linux portability. You can safely ignore them if you run windows. For you facility, I included a utility SetProjectOptions (source code, you must compile it) in the internet directory. This utility will update project options to disable the warnings. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. C++ BUILDER 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2, XE3: Follow the installation procedure described for Delphi 2006. Just change the project group and package name: use CB2006, CBXe, etc, see above. You can't have Delphi 2006 and CBuilder 2006 packages installed at the same time in the IDE. So when switching from one to the other, be sure to remove the one you don't need. Building the FireMonkey CBXE2InstallVclFmx C++ packages for OSX may trigger an ILINK32 error, this is a bug in C++ Builder reported as QC #103668 the Win32 packages should build without errors. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. Projects are located in SAMPLES\CPP\INTERNET\CB2006\ (or CB2006, CBXE, etc) with a project group in each directory, OverbyteIcsCB2006Sam.bdsgroup, OverbyteIcsCBXe2Sam.groupproj, etc. It is likely that for each project, C++ Builder complains about a missing .res file. This is not a problem, C++ Builder will recreate it as needed. They have not been included to save space in the zip file. Once the components are all installed, you may open the sample projects each one after the other and compile them. For each project, do file/open and select the dpr file in the internet directory. Then Project/Build All. NOTES: - You may have an error message, using Delphi or C++ Builder complaining about Font.Charset, OldCreateOrder and other properties. Those are new properties in newer Delphi or C++ Builder versions, newer than the version you use. You can safely ignore those errors because those properties are not used by the components nor sample programs. You may encounter this error at run time. To avoid it, you must open each form at design time and ignore the error. Then recompile. If you don't ignore the error at design time, you'll have it at runtime ! - If you have Delphi or C++ Builder complaining about a file not found, add .\source directory to your library path. - If you are using C++ Builder you may encounter an error at link time such as "Unable to open file MWBCB30.LIB" (or other libs). This is a bug in C++ Builder. To solve it, you can edit project option file (right click in project manager) and remove any reference to the missing libraries. - Don't forget that the C++Builder components are located in .\delphi\vc32 which is object pascal source code (not a problem for C++Builder, just indicate that the *.pas files are displayed when installing). C++Builder will create the *.hpp files. There are some on-line help files in the VC32 directory. Available VCL Components ------------------------ - The following is a list of the files that should be installed in order to properly add all of the available components in this collection: > OverbyteIcsCharsetComboBox.pas Provides easy MIME charset selection > OverbyteIcsDnsQuery DNS lookup component - useful for getting MX records > OverbyteIcsDprUpdFix.pas IDE plugin for Delphi 2009 and 2010 to update old projects > OverbyteIcsEmulVT.pas ANSI terminal emulation in a control > OverbyteIcsFingCli.pas FINGER client protocol - Find information about user > OverbyteIcsFtpCli.pas FTP client protocol - file transfer > OverbyteIcsFtpSrv.pas FTP server protocol - file transfer > OverbyteIcsFtpSrvT.pas FTP server protocol - helpers > OverbyteIcsHttpAppServer.pas HTTP server protocol - used to build advanced web servers > OverbyteIcsHttpProt.pas HTTP client protocol - used by the web > OverbyteIcsHttpSrv.pas HTTP server protocol - used to build web servers > OverbyteIcsLogger.pas A component to log information > OverbyteIcsMimeDec.pas MIME component - decode file attach, use with POP3 > OverbyteIcsMultiProgressBar.pas A segmented progress bar > OverbyteIcsMultipartFtpDownloader.pas FTP client protocol - download one file using simultaneous connections to speedup download > OverbyteIcsMultipartHttpDownloader.pas HTTP client protocol - download one file using simultaneous connections to speedup download > OverbyteIcsNntpCli.pas NNTP client protocol - send and receive newsgroups messages > OverbyteIcsPing.pas ICMP echo protocol - ping a host > OverbyteIcsPop3Prot.pas POP3 client protocol - get mail from mail server > OverbyteIcsReg.pas Register design components > OverbyteIcsSmtpProt.pas SMTP client protocol - send mail to server > OverbyteIcsSmtpSrv.pas SMTP server protocol - receive mail from client > OverbyteIcsSnmpCli.pas SNMP client protocol - network management > OverbyteIcsSnmpMsgs.pas SNMP client protocol - message helper > OverbyteIcsSysLogClient.pas Syslog Client Protocol - receive syslog messages > OverbyteIcsSysLogDefs.pas Syslog Protocol - helpers > OverbyteIcsSysLogServer.pas Syslog Server Protocol - send syslog messages > OverbyteIcsTnCnx.pas TELNET client protocol - terminal emulation protocol > OverbyteIcsTnEmulVT.pas TELNET and ANSI terminal emulation combined > OverbyteIcsTnOptFrm.pas TELNET Client configuration form > OverbyteIcsTnScript.pas TELNET client protocol - with automation > OverbyteIcsWSocket.pas Winsock component - TCP, UDP, DNS,... > OverbyteIcsWSocketE.pas Register procedure and property editor for TWSocket > OverbyteIcsWSocketS.pas Winsock component for building servers > OverbyteIcsWSocketTS.pas Winsock component for building multithreaded servers - The following list support and utilities units: > OverbyteIcsAsn1Utils.pas ASN1 utilities (for TSnmpClient component) > OverbyteIcsAvlTrees.pas Implements a fast cache-like data storage > OverbyteIcsCharsetUtils.pas MIME-charset functions > OverbyteIcsCookies.pas Client Cookie Handling > OverbyteIcsCRC.pas 32 bit CRC computation > OverbyteIcsCsc.pas character set routines > OverbyteIcsDES.pas Implementation of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) > OverbyteIcsDigestAuth.pas HTTP Digest Access Authentication > OverbyteIcsFormDataDecoder.pas Decode a MIME data block as generated by a HTML form > OverbyteIcsHttpCCodZLib.pas Supports GZIP coding for HttpContCod > OverbyteIcsHttpContCod.pas HTTP Content Coding support, uses extra units > OverbyteIcsIcmp.pas ICMP protocol support, used by the PING component > OverbyteIcsIconv.pas Headers for iconv library (LGPL) > OverbyteIcsLIBEAY.pas Delphi encapsulation for LIBEAY32.DLL (OpenSSL) > OverbyteIcsMD4.pas Implementation of the MD4 Message-Digest Algorithm > OverbyteIcsMD5.pas Implementation of the MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm > OverbyteIcsMimeUtil.pas Support routines for MIME standard > OverbyteIcsMLang.pas A few header translations from MS mlang.h > OverbyteIcsNtlmMsgs.pas Client NTLM authentification messages used within HTTP protocol > OverbyteIcsNtlmSsp.pas Server NTLM authentification of user credentials using Windows SSPI > OverbyteIcsOneTimePw.pas One Time Password support functions, used by FTP > OverbyteIcsSHA1.pas Implementation of US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) > OverbyteIcsSocketUtils.pas Cross platform socket utilities for ICS > OverbyteIcsSSLEAY.pas Delphi encapsulation for SSLEAY32.DLL (OpenSSL) > OverbyteIcsSslSessionCache.pas A very fast external SSL-session-cache component > OverbyteIcsSslThrdLock.pas Implementation of OpenSsl thread locking (Windows);

FireMonkey uses different visual components to VCL, while some non-visual components can be used for both VCL and FMX projects, while other components need special versions, such as ICS. Earlier betas of V8 used the conditional define "FMX" which is *no longer required in project options. Instead in your existing ICS FireMonkey app. add either "Ics.Fmx" to the unit scope names in project options or apply the following changes in the uses clause, rename: OverbyteIcsWndControl -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWndControl OverbyteIcsWSocket -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWSocket OverbyteIcsFtpCli -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsFtpCli OverbyteIcsFtpSrv -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsFtpSrv OverbyteIcsHttpProt -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsHttpProt OverbyteIcsWSocketS -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWSocketS OverbyteIcsSmtpProt -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSmtpProt.pas OverbyteIcsPop3Prot -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsPop3Prot.pas OverbyteIcsNntpCli -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsNntpCli.pas OverbyteIcsPing -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsPing.pas OverbyteIcsDnsQuery -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsDnsQuery.pas OverbyteIcsFingCli -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsFingCli.pas OverbyteIcsSslSessionCache -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSslSessionCache.pas OverbyteIcsSslThrdLock -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSslThrdLock.pas OverbyteIcsHttpSrv -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsHttpSrv.pas OverbyteIcsSocketUtils -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsSocketUtils.pas OverbyteIcsMultipartFtpDownloader -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsMultipartFtpDownloader.pas OverbyteIcsMultipartHttpDownloader -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsMultipartHttpDownloader.pas OverbyteIcsHttpAppServer -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsHttpAppServer.pas OverbyteIcsThreadTimer -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsThreadTimer.pas OverbyteIcsCharsetComboBox -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsCharsetComboBox.pas { Demo units } OverbyteIcsWebAppServerCounter -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWebAppServerCounter OverbyteIcsWebAppServerMailer -> Ics.Fmx.OverbyteIcsWebAppServerMailer The list above is also the list of units that now have different names in the FireMonkey framework however most of them share the same source file. Dropping a ICS component on the form will add the correct unit name for each framework automatically (don't forget to disable the package cache as described above). Unit OverbyteIcsLibrary.pas has been *deprecated* and ICS IPv8 doesn't use it anymore. If you used it in your own code read the comment in OverbyteIcsLibrary.pas, search for "deprecated". Sample applications: -------------------- With V8, the sample applications are now grouped into directories according to general functionality, to make it easier to compare related samples. Many samples are similar. When searching for something, always look at the date the demos where created. The most recent is always the best code! In the lists below, ACTIVE!! indicates applications that are actively maintained to test and support new functionality in the ICS components.

Two samples are not in the project group since they need extra components installed > OverbyteIcsRestDemo.drp Demo program showing how to use REST API from Google and Yahoo > OverbyteIcsRestJsonDemo.drp Demo program showing how to use REST API from Google Search and JSON Sample Notes ------------ Note 1: Not all samples have been rewritten in C++ for C++ Builder. And those rewritten are frequently much simpler. So C++ Builder user: have a look at the Delphi sample too ! Note 2: Follow "UserMade" link on ICS web site to find more sample programs written by ICS users. As explained in the component installation, you may encounter an error loading a sample application or running it. This may be because the last time I loaded the form, I was using another Delphi or C++ Builder version which has new properties. You can safely ignore messages related to those new properties. They are not used in the samples. (The properties are CharSet, OldCreateOrder and others). You can also encounter error about duplicate resources. You can ignore them safely. If you have those errors, open each form in the IDE, ignore the error then recompile. If you don't open the form in the IDE, you'll get the errors at runtime and your program will abort. When installing a new version, always delete old dcu, obj, dcpil and always recompile everything ! Close everything before recompiling the library or packages. When installing a new version, be sure to unzip it in the same directory tree as the old one or you'll mess both versions. About SSL: ---------- TSslWSocket and TSslWSocketServer component are derived from the standard TWSocket and TWSocketServer component. The SSL code is compiled into the component only if you define USE_SSL symbol to your packages and projects. Just add USE_SSL to the defines in the project or package options and recompile everything. The components make use of LIBEAY32.DLL and SSLEAY32.DLL to handle SSL protocol stuff. The DLLs are dynamically loaded at runtime. It means that the DLLs will only be required at runtime when you first make use of a SSL function. Your applications will run on systems without OpenSSL DLLs as long as you don't call any SSL function. The files may be downloaded from: http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download Most ICS components have their SSL enabled counter part. They work exactly the same way as the regular component except when SSL specific stuff is needed, for example certificates. To support SSL stuff, the SSL-enabled version use some new properties, events and methods. Many sample programs have their SSL-enabled counter part in a separate sources located in SslInternet folder. SSL certificates: To make use of SSL, you frequently need certificates. I provide some demo certificates I built using command line OpenSSL tool. PEM certificates can be opened by a text editor, LF as well as CRLF are allowed as line breaks. CACERT.PEM : A demo certificate for "Example CA" 01CERT.PEM : A demo certificate which is signed by CACERT.PEM 01KEY.PEM : A demo private key for 01CERT.PEM Passphrase is "password". CLIENT.PEM : A demo certificate and private key. Passphrase is "password". SERVER.PEM : A demo certificate and private key. Passphrase is "password". ROOT.PEM : A demo CA certificate. Passphrase is "password". TRUSTEDCABUNDLE.PEM : A demo CA file in PEM format containing multiple well known root CA certificates to be specified in property CA Path of the demo applications. Read the comments included in this file. 6F6359FC.0 : Located in sub directory SslInternet\TrustedCaStore, it's the file CACERT.PEM stored with a hashed file name. Directory TrustedCaStore can be specified in property CA Path of the demo applications. For details about certificate, see the excellent book: "Network security with OpenSSL", O'Reilly, ISBN 10: 0-596-00270-X The SSL demo project OverbyteIcsPemTool may be used to create self signed PEM certificates, certificate requests for commercial use, to convert existing certificates in the Windows Certificate Store to PEM format understood by OpenSSL and to examine PEM certificates. You will find more information in IcsSslHowTo.txt file. Commercial SSL certificates: To avoid browsers giving certificate warning messages, you need to purchase a SSL certificate from one of numerous companies, such as Verisign, Thawte GeoTrust or RapidSSL. Prices vary dramatically and are often cheaper from resellers such as Servertastic than from the main issuing companies. The main purpose of an SSL certificate is to prove the identity of the owner of a web site, ideally the company behind the web site. That usually requires paper work identifying the company is submitted and also proof the domain being protected is owned by that company, it usually also involves telephone calls. Such certificates are usually called fully validated and cost $120 or more each year for a single domain, ie secure.website.com. Wild card certificates cost $350 or more, but protect multiple sub-domains, ie web.website.com as well. Extended Validation certificates cost from $450 a year, and show the company name in green in the address bar. For testing and simple use, instant issued SSL certificates cost from $15 per year and protect a single domain only with automated checking reducing the cost (an email to admin@website.com to prove you receive email for the domain, perhaps a telephone call as well). Note these instant certificates do not include a company name. To buy and install an SSL certificate for use with ICS and OpenSSL follow these steps: 1 - Build the SSL demo project OverbyteIcsPemTool. Take Extras, Create Certificate Requests, fill in the various fields (check other certificates if uncertain, the Common Name is the domain to protect, ie secure.website.com and E-Mail should be an email address at the than domain, ideally admin or administrator, 2048 bits. Click Create, and specify two file names, first for the private key (mykey.pem) then the certificate request file (myreq.pem). The request can also be done using OpenSSL command line arguments, or you can build it into your own application. 2 - Choose you SSL supplier and certificate type, at some point during the ordering process you will be asked for the certificate request, so open the PEM file you saved with a text editor and copy the base64 encoded block starting -BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST- into the web form. It should be decoded and displayed so you check it's correct. The private key is not needed for the certificate to be issued. At this point the validation process starts as mentioned above, which might take hours or weeks to complete. 3 - Eventually the SSL certificate should be issued, either by email or made available to download from the supplier's web site. It should be in X.509 format in a base64 encoded block starting -BEGIN CERTIFICATE- which should be saved as a PEM file (mycert.pem). There should also be an Intermediate CA certificate, with which your new certificate was signed, which should also be saved as a file (mycacert.pem). This may also be downloadable from the supplier as a bundle file and should be common to any certificates they issue, ie RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem. 4 - The OverbyteIcsPemTool tool has a View PEM button that allows examination of your new PEM files. 5 - The three PEM files now need to be attached to the SslContext component in your application, with properties SslCertFile, SslPrivKeyFile and SslCAFile. The request certificate file has no further use. Support: -------- There is a mailing list to discuss F. Piette's components and applications. To subscribe surf to http://lists.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket. Do not use an aliased EMail address, use your real EMail address, the one you'll use to post messages. After asking for subscription, you'll receive a confirmation email you must reply to it or you will _not_ be added to the subscriber's list (this is to check for email path and also make sure someone doesn't subscribe you without your consent). Once you have been registered with the mailing list processor, you can send messages to twsocket@elists.org. Every subscriber will receive a copy of your message. I will respond, but anybody is welcome to respond to each other's messages. So every body can share his expertise. There are many other useful mailing lists at http://www.elists.org ! Before asking a question, browse the message archive you can download from the support page on the web site (click the "support" button from main page) and from the mailing list web site http://lists.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket. Google is also archiving the list with some delay. If you found a bug, please make a short program that reproduces the problem attach it to a message addressed to me. If I can reproduce the problem, I can find a fix ! Do not send exe file but just source code and instructions. Always use the latest version (beta if any) before reporting any bug. You are also encouraged to use the support mailing list to ask for enhancements. You are welcome to post your own code. The support mailing list has sometimes a heavy traffic. If it is too much for you, you can select "digest" mode in which mailing list processor will mail you only one big message per day. To select digest mode goto http://lists.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket. You can also subscribe to another mailing list called twsocket-announce which will receive only very few messages when major bug fixes or updates are done. The subscription process is the same as for the other mailing list. See above procedure. Release notes ------------- There is no global release notes. Each component and sample has his own history. You can find those histories in the comment in the beginning of each source file. There are also a bunch of useful comments in the source code. You should at least browse the source for the components you are interested in. MidWare ------- If you wants to build client/server applications using TCP/IP protocol, you can do it easily with ICS. But you can do it much more easily using another freeware product from Fran鏾is Piette: MidWare. Available from the same web site http://www.overbyte.be. francois.piette@overbyte.be francois.piette@swing.be http://www.overbyte.be/ http://wiki.overbyte.be/
