proxy.exe is a Windows program that can act as a proxy or
port forwarder between a TCP/IP client and server application,
on the client side or server side or both.  For example, it
can be used to display data passing between the client and
server.  It runs under Windows 98 or later (98/NT/2000/XP),
as a Console Application (command).  It is written in C,
compiled by Visual C++ 6.0.  It is distributed as a "freeware"
program.  Currently, the source is not distributed.

To run it, enter the proxy command, with any required operands
and options, in a Windows Command window.  For a short description,
enter the command without any operands.  To open a Command window,
use Start --> Run, then enter cmd.exe (Win 2000/XP) or command.com
(Win 95/98).

There is a Yahoo discussion group, Proxy-DE, for this program.
Go to  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Proxy-DE  where you can read
messages posted by users.  To post messages or access the Files
area, you have to join the group, by clicking on "Join This Group!"
near the top of the web page for the group.  The group's
moderator may have to approve new members (to help prevent spam), so
it may take a day or so for your membership to take effect.

PLEASE NOTE: This program still requires some development and so some options
  (notably -w) are not working yet.
