View source for Ager's Socket Library

'''Ager's Socket Library''' (ASL) is an open source sockets class library for [[Virtual Pascal]] that runs on both OS/2 and [[Microsoft Windows]], it has mechanisms that help you use TCP and UDP sockets, handle the SMTP, POP3, NNTP, FTP and CVS protocols as a client as well as handling SMTP and POP3 as servers, encoding and decoding using UU, XX or base64 in addition to basic message handling capabilities for text and [[HTML]].

The library was not fully finished when the author abandoned it, but fully functional and unlike some similar socket libraries includes full source code. Portions of this library have been used to build up the socket libraries in [[Free Pascal]]. The library is a [[Delphi]] style object-oriented class library.
