Why? It is not simple question. ;-) Before a five years I need socket library for Delphi. In this time exists only two good libraries.. ICS (but it is using asynchronous sockets) and Winshoes (now it is called Indy). Yes, exists other libraries, but only this will be freeware and opensource! For my purposes indy looks good. but it is components. You must do lot of things for install them to your system, etc. Indy is very huge and slow library. And on mostly places it is very badly written. ;-( Rather then using it I wrote my own library based only on units with non- visual classes. It not need instalation, only add my unit to your 'uses' and go! When my fiend from Delphree association see my work, then tell me: "get your library for public, it is great!" Synapse was born! By some years I create simple and fast implementation for lot of commonly used protocols. Synapse is not only one of TCP/IP libraries, this is technology leader. ;-) Yes, for example, Indy using lot of code based on my Synapse now! Synapse is first free and opensource library with solutions for email with automatic translating of charsets, Synapse is first free library with native SNMP implementation, Synapse is first free library with 'instant' IPv6 support, Synapse is first free library with native LDAP client, etc. Yes 'First free' in delphi world! But on FPC world I not see comparable TCP/IP library. Really lot of people asking me: "Exists Synapse for FPC?" FPC world now can use five years experience with Synapse from delphi world. ;-) -- Lukas Gebauer.
