- Hi, I have picked it up.
- Sorry if it is allready posted here before.

- Dudu.

- >> (Cross-posted to many lists and groups. Please forgive necessary
- >> duplications)
- >>
- >> Folks:
- >>
- >> This is an announcement of Beta Release 0.1 of Cello, a multipurpose
- >> Net browser for Microsoft Windows 3.1
- >>
- >> Features:
- >>
- >> --WWW(HTTP/HTML) browser, with user-configurable colors
- >> and fonts.
- >> --Full-featured Gopher (though unfortunately not yet Gopher+)
- >> client, including a hyper-ized CSO which permits (sorta dumb)
- >> SMTP mailing.
- >> --Transparent access (via WWW) to FTP, HyTelNet, Telnet, etc.
- >> etc. ad infinitum.
- >> --Graphics and PostScript viewing and sound playing via
- >> MSWindows Associations...feature, using add-on, shareware
- >> viewers such as SNDTOOL, GV057, and the Windows version of
- >> GhostScript.
- >> --Ad-hoc Telnet, FTP, and Gopher sessions.
- >> --SLIP/PPP support with dialup scripting language.
- >> --Supports wide range of LAN configurations via Distinct
- >> TCP/IP runtime stack.
- >>
- >> Things you should know:
- >>
- >> -- Hardware:
- >> Cello needs a Windows 3.1-capable machine with enhanced mode
- >> and (preferably) swapping enabled. It is hungry for extended RAM.
- >>
- >> -- Software:
- >> Cello depends (for now...we're working on a Winsock version) on the
- >> Distinct TCP/IP runtime stack. The LII has licensed the use of a
- >> runtime version of this software for use by US academic institutions
- >> for a period of one year, starting June 1, after which we will
- >> renegotiate the license. Commercial organizations and non-academic
- >> users are strongly urged to contact Distinct directly at
- >> mktg.distinct.com.
- >>
- >> The Distinct software adds enormous functionality to the package,
- >> including SLIP/PPP support with scripting, and configuration for
- >> many types of LAN and networking layers.
- >> We are working on a Winsock version which will be available
- >> without restriction later this summer.
- >>
- >> --How to get it:
- >>
- >> FTP to fatty.law.cornell.edu, the /pub/LII/Cello subdirectory. The
- >> distribution is in multiple files. At a minimum, you will need
- >>
- >> README.1ST, which contains unpacking instructions.
- >> CELLO.ZIP, which contains the executable and Help application
- >> DIS.ZIP, which contains the runtime stack.
- >>
- >> Optionally, you should also get:
- >>
- >> VIEWERS.ZIP, which contains a graphics viewer and sound player for
- >> use with Cello.
- >>
- >> GSWIN.ZIP, which contains the Windows version of GhostScript.
- >>
- >> PLEASE NOTE that fatty is but an humble little Sparc and you can
- >> bring it to its knees fairly easily, so if you have another source for
- >> the GhostScript stuff please spare me and everyone else by going to
- >> the alternate source; the file is 2+ MB.
- >>
- >> Installation:
- >>
- >> Installation is performed by following the instructions in
- >> README.1ST, then using the online help. Additional support is
- >> available from a listserv list called appropriately enough CELLO-L.
- >> To subscribe, send a message to listserv@fatty.law.cornell.edu with
- >> the one-liner:
- >>
- >> sub cello-l your full name
- >>
- >> in the body of the message. cello-l is watched by the developer and
- >> by a few folks who graciously assisted in alpha testing and who
- >> know more about the software's treacherous behavior than its
- >> author; the listowner is Will Sadler at Indiana University Law School.
- >> We are also working on an archive of installation hints and tricks.
- >> Please try to take it easy on comp.infosystems.www; Tim already has
- >> too much to deal with (grin).
- >>
- >> Who'n'heck are these guys?:
- >>
- >> The Legal Information Institute, operating under the auspices of the
- >> Cornell Law School, is an entity set up to distribute legal information
- >> in hypertextual form by various means, including the Net. Since
- >> there wasn't a Web client for the platform used most by lawyers and
- >> legal academics, we took it into our (ill-advised) heads to write one.
- >> This is it, almost. For further information: lii@fatty.law.cornell.edu.
