Notice of Upgrade to Hytelnet for the Macintosh. version 6.3.0
This version will work over a network, and will be able to use
the IBM PC data files. The numbering system and directory structure are the
same as the PC version.
If you want a copy of this version of Hytelnet please send a note to
Charles Burchill <burchil@ccu.umanitoba.ca>.
The complete set comes as a 650K binhex file so make sure that your
mail package will support mail of this size. It may be available from
access.usask.ca in the near future.
Hytelnet comes as a binhex'd self extracting archive: Hytelnet for the
Mac. You will need about 1.2Mb free hard disk space, HyperCard 2.x.
The archive contains Hytelnet, a hypercard stack that reads the raw
data files from Peter Scotts Hytelnet. It also contains a 'Hytelnet
data' folder containing many folders with the Hytelnet data files (1000+).
Modifications from the last version:
- Finder Events XCMD added to allow the use of some apple event to communicate
with the finder. This is mainly used to open Telnet and TN3270 without
having to worry about the name or location of the program.
- Configuration items have been moved to a configuration dialog.
- Using the Configuration settings the Telnet, and TN3270 applications can
have other names and be located in a variety of locations, along with the
configuration files.
- A button has been added that will extract the site files from letters coming
frmo the LIB_HYTELNET mailing list. The headers will be stripped and the
file will be saved in the appropriate folder with the name that occurs
in the letter. The site names will be saved in a seperate file
"New Site Names 'current date'". The site name lists are not
automatically updated.
Binhex'd files may be unarchived using binhex 4.0, Stuffit, Compactor Pro,
Tickler and many other common archiving programs.
