------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teleport Pro Version 1.28 for Windows 95/NT (c) 1996 Tennyson Maxwell INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The fastest, most powerful file-retrieving robot on the Internet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congratulations! You have obtained the most powerful offline browsing and file-retrieving tool on the Internet. Part Swiss Army knife, part chainsaw, Teleport Pro is a fully automated, multithreaded, link-following, file-retrieving webspider. It will retrieve all the files you want -- and only the files you want -- from any part of the Internet. Teleport Pro can also - Completely download a website, enabling you to "offline browse" the site at much greater speeds than if you were to browse the site online - Create an exact duplicate, or "mirror" of a website, complete with subdirectory structure and all required files - Search a website for files of a certain type (and even size!) - Download a list of files from the Internet - Explore every website linked from a central website - Search a website for keywords - Make a list of all pages and files on a website Want to offline browse a website? Want to grab 400 sound files for a multimedia presentation? Looking for just the right background graphic? A list of every web page and file on a shareware site? Found a huge archive of great graphics -- but don't want to wait for each of them to download? Found a great link site, but don't have the time to check out every link? No more waiting for slow pages to download. No more clicking on links for hours, only to find garbage at the end of your trail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This document contains installation instructions for Teleport Pro for Windows 95/NT. Please be sure to read the README.TXT file which will be extracted after Teleport Pro is installed. ================================================= INSTALLING OVER PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF TELEPORT PRO ================================================= No special steps required. You do not need to uninstall a previous version of Teleport Pro if it is already installed on your systems. Just follow the instructions below. If you want to keep your original version of Teleport Pro intact, move it to another directory, or install this version of Teleport Pro in a different directory. =============================== INSTALLING ON NTFS FILE SYSTEMS =============================== The Teleport Pro setup program may fail to run if executed from a drive that uses NTFS. If this occurs, copy the installation files to a FAT drive, if available, and run them from there. ======================= INSTALLING TELEPORT PRO ======================= Teleport Pro is distributed as a self-extracting zip archive, called pro12.exe. To install it, 1. Create a temporary folder on your desktop. 2. Move the pro12.exe file into this temporary folder. 3. Double-click pro12.exe to run it. It will extract the Teleport Pro setup program, SETUP.EXE, and related setup files. 4. Double-click the SETUP.EXE file in your temporary folder, and follow its installation instructions. NOTE: Windows 95 may display an error message stating that one or more files "have been replaced with older versions by a program you just ran." This is caused by SETUP, and is normal. Windows will repair the files later, and it will not affect Teleport Pro's performance. 5. Once setup is complete, you may delete the temporary folder and its contents from your desktop. 6. NOTE: The SETUP program will create a "bin" directory in the folder where you install Teleport Pro. This bin will contain two files, CLASSES.ZIP and JAVAP.EXE. These files are needed for Java applet retrieval. DO NOT UNZIP the CLASSES.ZIP file. ========================= UNINSTALLING TELEPORT PRO ========================= To uninstall Teleport Pro, simply run "Uninstall Teleport Pro" from your Start Menu. The uninstall program will erase the program files, registry entries, and shortcuts related to Teleport Pro from your hard disk. Your project files and any retrieved files will NOT be erased by the uninstaller. You can also run the Uninstaller using the Windows 95 "Add/Remove Programs" utility in the Control Panel. Double-click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the Control Panel, then select "Teleport Pro" and press the "Add/Remove" button. Please note that uninstalling Teleport Pro will not delete files that you have retrieved using the program.
