Package Tracking Widget

I need a simple application developed that will prompt the user for a carrier (UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx) and a tracking number and then list the current status of the shipment for that tracking number. The display must be easy to read, well-formatted.

The widget should allow for multiple packages to be tracked and have a "Refresh" button to retrieve the latest information for all packages being tracked. The widget should allow the user to remove an item from the tracking list at any time.

The widget must run absolutely standalone. No DLLs, No .NET framework, etc. It must be one EXE and it must be built in either C++ (Preferably VC++) or Delphi so I can tweak it if necessary.

The widget must also use a background image as its form, so that there is no standard window border (maybe looks like WinAmp or iTunes in mini mode).

I am a software developer in the United States and have developed several similar types of widgets as the one I am describing, so I can provide a great deal of detail as to actual functionality.

I would like to develop a working relationship with another programmer or programmers on these widgets as I currently have a high demand for them. I am interested in working with English-speaking developers in India, but I will consider working with anyone if the quality is very good and the turnaround time is very quick. If this project goes well, there will be a need for many more widgets like this including widgets for data mapping, XML/RSS display, etc.

It would be a great bonus to me to find a programmer who is also capable of design as all of these widgets will need to be very graphical (pretty) such as those on the Mac or at Yahoo!

## Deliverables

1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.

2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):

a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.

b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.

3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

## Platform

Windows (all versions preferably, though recent Windows is the only requirement). Again it must be one EXE, no DLLs, .NET or VB Runtime is acceptable.

Linux and Macintosh equivalents would be an enourmous help, but not required at this time. I will likely post a similar request for a Macintosh widget at some point in the future.
