Project Description: This project was originally intended to be a way for
me to access the internet at my workstation in college because they had
disabled DNS and I had to find a way around this. So I decided to make a
browser that would get the IP address for the DNS and would place it in a
database which the browser would search through to decide where to navigate.
Well, after spending over two months working on it I've added many different
features and a lot of code that I think many people will find useful.
NOTED FEATURES -
1. Fully functional web browser which can be set to DNS or Normal Browsing Mode.
2. Fully functional FTP client included.
3. A whoIs client that is fully functional and includes 6 servers.
4. Implemented own "favorites" system which isn't very good but oh well, lol.
5. Implementation of many additional features for browser such as "style changing"
for people who cannot read well and extracting links, emails, or image urls.
6. Implementation of pop-up blocker as well as a feature to filter website content.
7. Some features you will have to find on your own because I never got around to
making a help file or anything for this. So just search through the code and see
what you can find. Notably, check the form keypress section.
8. PASSWORD FOR FILTERING IN BROWSER OPTIONS IS (CASE-SENSITIVE): "admin"
9. Also included is the feature to block ad-banners and ad-text but must be uncommented
to be active. I didn't have the time to include it in the options.
BUGS: There are MANY bugs in this program as you might imagine because the code is
quite large (over 120 pages when pasted in Microsoft Word). So please just tell me
if you find any bugs but please don't criticize me for them. Note that I grabbed a
few things from VBC and have noted it below.
NOTED UNFINISHED WORK: (1) FTP is fully functional but the file listing does not
always work properly and I never got around to finishing that. (2) The "clean-up" bit
in the Browser Options was never completed and little features like the (3) updating
browser weekly and (4) backing up files weekly was never fully completed. (5) I was
intending on creating a mini-chat application between browser users but never got
around to even starting it. (6) Adding whois servers has not yet been included. (7)
Was going to add a history feature but never got around to that either. Wow, so many
things, lol.
CREDITS: I give credit to whoever's code the Alpha Transparancy is as I did not make
that. I also give credit to the person who provided the "isButton" control as I also
did not write that. And finally I give credit to the person who provided the .RES
for the XP Manifest code.
Extra Comments: This is my second largest project I've made and I've spent about
two months or so working on it so I hope you appreciate me distributing
this code. So before you close this program and go onto doing whatever else
you do, please vote for me!
