The browser is basically a series of ASCII files connected by hypertext links and run by the HYPERREZ engine on a PC. The information on the addresses was ned from many sources, the authors of which are mentioned below. HYTELNET 2.0 is available by anonymous ftp from Simtel20 (ftp 26.2.0.74) and can be found in the directory PD1:HYTELN20.ZIP.1 -or- any of the Simtel20 mirror sites -or- by anonymous ftp from vaxb.acs.unt.edu, and can be found in the directory HSC1$DUA1:[ANON] as HYTELN20.ZIP;1 You will need to use the utility PZUNZIP to extract the files I have included the READ.ME file for your information. HYTELNET version 2.0 READ.ME FILE March 29 1991 HYTELNET 2.0 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. **New in Version 2.0** This version now includes instructions for connecting to sites in the United Kingdom and Israel, FreeNet systems, and Library Bulletin Board Systems. The entries for Dial-up libraries and non-Telnet BBSs have been removed. **Directory Instructions** If you are running HYTELNET 2.0 on a hard disk, copy all the files into a separate directory. Always load the HYTELNET 2.0 program from this directory. Please note that the files, UNZIPPED, will not fit on a 360kb diskette, or in the root directory of a diskette. **Loading HYTELNET 2.0** 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.
