Development tool for Windows programmers. It provides a Windows DLL, named as ReDnLoad.dll with a few functions callable from just about any Windows programming language. These functions provide
" Information about files at a remote website
" Multi-threaded downloading of as many files as needed and allowed by the available memory
" Retrieving the content of files without writing them to disk, text and binary files are all supported
The package also includes the source code of a VB 6.0 ActiveX DLL and a sample VB 6.0 application that uses the ActiveX component. This code demonsrates how to create multi-threaded VB 6.0 applications and how to overcome on the limitations of VB 6.0. The sample code converts callback functions in a VB .bas module to events in a class module.
Despite the VB sample codes the DLL itself can be used from C++, Delphi, PowerBasic and other languages as well. The minimum requirements are the support for function pointers or at least for windows handles. The use of the DLL from the listed languages is pretty straightforward due to the fact that these languages are thread safe unlikely VB 6.0.
