Wish I could be there. I'll been using Chilkat (and requesting, and getting new features) for more than 10 years. One interface project got bogged down when a developer on the other side was having difficulty getting a Java library to work correctly. I said, "I'm using Chilkat and I know they have a Java version." He said, "hey, we have 1 license for that." Twenty minutes later our interface was communicating. Matt gets it right and then improves on it, by adding functionality that packages up the standard interface in way that developers actually use in their work. And all this time we've never met in person. Say hello from me. :)

>Our April 2017 meeting will be held on Tuesday the 11th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm (CST) at WeWork, 332 S Michigan 9th Floor, Chicago.

>This meeting is gonna be great - a must-attend! Matt Fausey of Chilkat Software is going to be showing off his excellent communications library for FoxPro and DotNET and most modern Windows languages. These sophisticated classes are fabulous for handling email, cryptography, ftp and sftp, http, ssh and zip!

>If you ever need to have two-way IMAP communication with a mailbox, or need to access sftp services this is the way to go.
