When the GD Transfer mechanism is enabled in CIP you needn't look at either application - you will be automatically prompted to save your changes when ending your session - all you have to do is surf. GD will continually pull your URLs - from your browser, from your telnet sessions, from your FTP connections etc. - and CIP will add them to your hosts cache, validate them and stamp them. It's all automated. The mechanism represents no measurable overhead, and preliminary tests have shown that average web access times are cut by as much as 90%. Now re-built for maximum possible backward compatibility with Windows 95/98 and with a GUI faster than ever. CIP is free to keep and use. |
