What ZauLINK Is

ZauLINK is a free link software for Sharp PI-Zaurus (Japanese Classic Zaurus), and it includes following features:

Mailware: ZauLINK is free to download. You can use this like a free software. But you must send email to me if you would continuously use this software. See readme.txt for details.
True 32-bit Application: ZauLINK provides higher performance than similar 16-bit link softwares. This is developed with a latest optimizing C++ compiler (Microsoft Visual C/C++). In result, this optimized object code utilize recent powerfull processors under 32-bit Operating Systems (Win2K, WinNT4, Win95/98/Me).
Multithreaded Communication: Because of the communication thread separated from the user interface, ZauLINK provides fast and stable communication in spite of the load on your system.
Win95 Common User Interface: ZauLINK follows the design guidance of Windows95 Common User Interface. You can operate this software intuitively.
Multiple Users Compliant: ZauLINK stores the users' setting separately. It will restore the window size or its position when the user return to ZauLINK.
