From: SKLIB::SCOTT "Peter Scott/Order Unit Manager/U of Saskatchewan Library/6016" 5-FEB-1991 06:46:53.34 To: IN::"buslib-l@idbsu.bitnet" CC: IN::"ellasbib@grearn.bitnet",SCOTT Subj: Announcing HYTELNET...instant access to Telnet names & addresses [revised posting Feb 5 1991] **Announcing** HYTELNET I have just finished compiling a hypertext browser called HYTELNET, which you load as a memory-resident, pop-up utility on your PC to give you instant access to Telnet names and addresses. The browser is basically a series of ASCII files connected by hypertext links. The information on the addresses was gleaned from many sources, the authors of which are mentioned below. HYTELNET is available by anonymous ftp from Simtel20 and can be found in the directory PD1:<MSDOS.HYPERTEXT>HYTELN11.ZIP.1 -or- by anonymous ftp from wuarchive.wustl.edu, and can be found in the directory /mirrors/msdos/hypertext as hyteln11.zip;1 -or- by anonymous ftp from vaxb.acs.unt.edu, and can be found in the directory HSC1$DUA1:[ANON] as HYTELNET.ZIP;1 I have included the READ.ME file for your information. HYTELNET version 1.1 READ.ME FILE December 23 1990 HYTELNET has been written specifically for those users who access the VAX/VMS Telnet Utility via a modem or the ethernet on an IBM compatible personal computer. **Directory Instructions** If you are running HYTELNET on a hard disk, copy all the files into a separate directory. Always load the HYTELNET program from this directory. **Loading HYTELNET** At the DOS prompt (in the HYTELNET directory), type HR to install the program in memory. After it loads, hold the Ctrl key down and depress the Backspace (<-) key. **Operations** Press Ctrl-Backspace to active the program Press Arrow keys to operate the program Press F1 key for help Press ESC to terminate the program Press Alt-T to remove the program from memory while the program is on the screen. It is a memory-resident program which should be called-up before you load your communications program. Have it sit in the background until you need to find a Telnet address. To invoke the program just hit the Control and Back-space keys then follow the directions. When you have read the site information either hit the Escape key to return the program to the back-ground, or hit Alt-T to remove it from memory. **Memory-resident conflicts** Because the HyperRez program makes no stack calls, it is unaffected by the loading sequence or memory location of other programs. One item to remember is that HR.EXE should be unloaded from memory in the reverse order that it was installed. That means, if you load HR.EXE before you load another program, then unload it after you unload that program. Program size: 16065 bytes (HyperRez on disk) Installed size: 59680 bytes (for program, text, and links) ASCII file size: Maximum size in 20K (set by text buffer) Maximum recall: Remembers Right-arrow jumps 64 levels deep **Essential files for running the program** Program: HR.EXE (HyperRez program) Select hot-key: HRK.EXE Title ASCII file: START.TXT HyperRez F1 file: HELP.TXT Instructions: READ.ME...this file! **Acknowledgments** The original documents which I adapted for this program were written by the following people who deserve a very large vote of thanks from this author and anyone who decides to use the program: Billy Barron University of North Texas Internet address: billy@vaxb.acs.edu Dr. Art St. George University of New Mexico Internet address: stgeorge@bootes.unm.edu Judy Hallman University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Internet address: hallman@unc.bitnet Marty Solomon University of South Carolina Internet address: solomon@univscvm Diane Kovacs Kent State University Internet address: librk329@ksuvxa.kent.edu Dr. Ron Larsen University of Maryland Internet address: rlarsen@libr.umd.edu =================================================================== This author takes full responsibility for any errors or omissions. **Customizing** You may wish to add your own SITE information or update those sites already listed.
