IBM TFTP Server (TftpSvr) implements the Trivial File Transfer Pro= tocol (TFTP) as a server process. It allows TFTP clients running on any = host to read and write files to the server. This implementation is a faithful implementation of the RFC, and it handles large files (>32M) correctly. It is about = 20% faster than other tftp servers on Windows/NT. Also, it is the first implementa= tion that runs as an NT service. -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- NEW JavaBeans ArchiveAccessor http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/alphaBeans/ Platforms: [ All Java Platforms ] The ArchiveAccessor Bean Suite is a suite of non-visual beans for working with Jar and Zip archive files. These beans can be used to= add, replace, remove, extract, rename or get files within either t= ype of archive, and also support manifest files for Jar archives. The fol= lowing example shows how you can use this bean suite in a visual builder = tool. -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- UPDATED Technology RealThings http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/formula/RealThings Platforms: [ Windows95 ] RealThings are computer applications whose interface style uses fun= ctional representations of real-world objects, such as books, phones, and C= Ds. Seeing familiar objects makes the transition into the computer realm smoot= her for new users, and can make tasks easier for advanced users as well. RealTh= ings use realistic images, animation, and sound to create a natural and intu= itive interface. Books open to pages and tabs, CDs open and play, and phones ring an= d contain a pull-out tray with a phone number list. Regards, Frank Carlos alphaWorks =
