ALP is implemented as an Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol. It acts like a WEB server but without need of network. It executes WEB applications such as ASP pages and CGI applications. ALP makes Internet Explorer to be server and client. With ALP you can write stand-alone desktop applications, CD-ROM autoruns, use ASP for pure desktop software and still keep your code ready to run on WEB servers too.
Write desktop software in ASP and CGI!

Binary and flat files

with ActiveX Pack1 ASP application is able to not just read/send binary files. They can be accessed as set of applciation defined records. And this is not limited to the files - any resource that behaves like file can be treated as like a DB table - memory streams, files, streams in OLE Compound files and so on.

Script Service

newObjects Script Service is a simple but powerful FREEWARE tool. It allows you to write Windows NT/2000 service in script (VBScript, JScript etc.). What is the effect? You have your script running. It receives calls to a procedure called "OnTimer" on configured intervals (up to this point this is simply a scheduler), but also any external application is able to call functions implemented in this script! Thus you are able to write something that receives requests for asynchronous execution and then ask it from time to time for their state. If you have problems how to implement maintenance pages for DB management (regular tasks), or news mail sending, or other tasks not possible to happen during the ASP page execution - then this is what you need.

Supported platforms: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000. XP support will be added shortly

How it works?

You are registering the scpsvc.exe to run in service mode. Then you need to write a few lines of configuration - what script to load, in which language is it, set a log file, set timer interval. Then you can start the service. The script is loaded and its OnTimer sub is called each time the specified interval has elapsed. VBScript and JScript have access to the system time thus the interval is not very important - your script decides when to do something. You implement some tasks in the script and in OnTimer you need to implement their invocation for example call one at midnight and call other at noon. Then you can write other subs and functions intended to be called from your ASP pages. Their purpose will be to record some tasks to be done or retrieve information about them and their state. Then your ASP pages that need to do something that will cause timeout if done in their code will just call your "add-task" function for example and tell the user your request has been recorded. Then he/she may come back later and check if it is fulfilled. Or another scenario - you wrote in a data base record that should cause some task to be done later (send mail or management task may be). Then you can prepare another ASP page that checks its state or invokes it explicitly - to be done immediately by calling a routine in your script that changes the schedule for it and/or executes it before returning.

The script running in the service acts just like a system wide object available for all the applications. They are able to call its methods, invoke reload (if configuration is changed for example), share data between each other etc.

The interface is more than simple - only 6 simple methods and one Sub without parameters you need to implement (without other specific requirements to it). Everything else - any method accessible for the other apps on the machine is your own decision - you implement it and call it from any application. Therefore you decide how many Subs and functions you need to implement and what they will do. Security? By default only the local applications will be able to call it and depending on the default DCOM configuration other apps on your local net. Script Service obeys the DCOM configuration and is secure no less than any other COM object.

The documentation is included in the download package. The package contains also the newObjects ActiveX Pack1 which is used by the service and can be used in your service scripts and other applications (ASP pages and so on). You do not need to download ActiveX Pack1 separately, but if you need some samples on it go to its page and download the ActiveX Pack1.
