Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Keith Cotroneo (cotroneo@stny.rr.com) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- Many years ago I authored an FTP client called SFTP. It was a Visual Rexx product that I distributed as freeware. I have been working slowly for about three years on a new ftp client. I call it Dragen FTP. "Drag" "En" for "Drag" enabled". Dragen consists of a C core that handles FTP and a visual rexx front end. Dragen is much more flexible and powerful than sftp. I also believe that it has a unique feature set that will offer a useful contribution to OS/2 computing. The core FTP module is about three years old and very stable. The rexx interface is pretty clean. I still have documentation and some polishing to do. I intend to distribute the product as as shareware, or "trustware." There are two versions that I need to test. The shareware implementation is fully enabled, but will involve a fairly painless user permission request to my FTP server. The pay version doesn't require this. Anyhow, I am about to the point of getting it out for some limited testing. I need some people to check out both versions and give me their thoughts. I would offer a license in consideration for your assistance. As I mentioned above, this will be a limited test period, since I have been using the product myself for about six months. So, I am looking for a few good people to help. If you would like to apply to be a Dragen FTP tester. Please, send email to me at: cotroneo@stny.rr.com Please include a brief statement about your experience with os/2: 1) How long you have been using os/2 (I would like to get a mix of experience). 2) How often you use FTP and the products you currently use for FTP. 3) Are you connected with any commercial or shareware software businesses or enterprises? That's about it. Thanks.
