========================================================================


Overview
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bopup IM Client Software Development Kit (SDK) is a toolkit for Windows
platform that provides documentation, samples and COM components for
building powerful instant messaging functionality into existing
applications, creating and developing a chat messenger software based
a client/server architecture. Applications built on this SDK interact
and communicate with Bopup Communication Server (IM server software)
that must be installed as a server-side part of the instant messaging
system.

Bopup IM Client SDK provides functions for connecting and establishing
IM session with the communication server, sending/receiving personal
and group instant messages, exchange files/directories, receiving urgent
and high-priority tasks from the server, managing user's contacts,
receiving presence status updates within the Contact List. This SDK
supports various authentication methods to autorize users on the IM
server: Simple, Windows Authentication (SSPI) and using Private login
and password credentials entered by a end-user.

Using SDK components it is possible to implement instant messaging
client applications using various programming languages and platforms
including C/C++ and Microsoft VB.NET/C# frameworks. SDK library also
provides an interface for VBA (Visual Basic for Applications)
environment support that is available as built-in development platform
in Microsoft Office software and allows to create macros for a range of
Office applications such as Excel, Word, Outlook, Access, PowerPoint
and others.

Provided functionality and supported features:

All transmitted messages are encrypted with strong encryption algorithms
based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange and CAST-128 algorithms. That
is the first and primary way to make corporate and business IM safe and
secure.
