Hytelnet

Peter Scott, the creator of HYTELNET, sends this
recent update:
"HYTELNET version 6.3, the utility which gives
an IBM-PC user instant-
access to all Internetaccessible library catalogs,
FREE-NETS, CWISs,
BBSs, Gophers, WAIS, etc. is now available. You
can get it via anonymous
ftp from: access.usask.ca in the
pub/hytelnet/pc subdirectory. It is
listed as HYTELN63.ZIP."

"Version 6.3 is a major upgrade. Much redundant
information has been
deleted, and errors have been corrected. New
subdirectories have been
added, which has meant that many files now have
a more meaningful home.
Also all the new/updated files created since

Version 6.2 were incorporated."

"Note: the UNZIPPED files total over 1.2 mb but
remember, you can always
edit out any information you do not need, in order
to save space.
Information from Roy Tennant follows, slightly
edited, describing how to
obtain HYTELNET 6.3 from the ftp site (thanks
Roy)::"

"TO RETRIEVE HYTELNET:
At your system prompt, enter:
ftp access.usask.ca or ftp 128.233.3.1
When you receive the Name prompt, enter:
anonymous
When you receive the password prompt, enter: your
Internet address.
When you are at the ftp> prompt, enter: binary
At the next ftp> prompt, enter: cd
pub/hytelnet/pc
Then enter: get hyteln63.zip

After the transfer has occurred, either proceed
with the instructions
below to retrieve the UNZIP utility (which you
need unless you already
have it) or enter: quit

The Hytelnet program is archived using a ZIP
utility. To unarchive it,
you must be able to "unzip" the file. If you have
the file PKUNZIP.EXE,
i t will unarchive the HYTELN63.ZIP file (see below
for instructions).
If you do not have it, you may retrieve it by
following these instructions:

TO RETRIEVE PKUNZIP:
Use the above instructions for connecting to:
access.usask.ca At the ftp> prompt, enter:
binary
Then enter: cd pub/hytelnet/pc

Then enter: get pkunzip.exe
After the transfer has occurred, enter: quit

TO DOWNLOAD IT TO YOUR PC:
Because of the plethora of PC communications
programs, I will not attempt
to give step-by-step instructions here. You
should check the instructions
for your software for downloading a *binary* file
from your Internet account
to your PC.

TO UNARCHIVE HYTELN63.ZIP:
Make a new directory on your hard disk (e.g., mkdir
hytelnet) Copy
PKUNZIP.EXE and HYTELN63.ZIP into the new
directory Make sure you
are in that directory, then enter: pkunzip
HYTELN63 It will then
unarchive HYTELN63.ZIP, which contains the
following files: HYTELNET.ZIP
READNOW. The file READNOW gives full
instructions for un-archiving
HYTELNET.ZIP. Simply put, you **MUST** unZIP
the file with the -d
parameter so
