Clipcode have released a beta of Clipcode.Peer, an implementation of the BEEP protocol framework for Microsoft's C# language.

Clipcode.Peer consists of three products, in various stages of development:

• Clipcode.Peer Developer provides support for the BEEP protocol, and complies with .NET design guidelines

• Clipcode.Peer ServiceProvider is a Windows service that will provide support for large numbers of connected peers, and be blessed with the magic "enterprise" tag.

• Clipcode.Peer User is an end-user application that allows the monitoring and management of BEEP sessions.

Users of Microsoft Visual Studio.NET can sign up for a beta program at Clipcode's web site.
