- WHAT IS TELEPORT?
-
- Teleport is a ram resident full featured program that makes cutting and
- pasting data between different programs a simple thing to do. In doing so
- it has the capability of capturing and editing up to 4 different screens of
- data at once and displaying them simultaneously. Teleport also has the
- ability to save these captured screens as ascii files; in this way Teleport
- can pop up reference screens at any time.
-
-
-
-
- BACKGROUND
-
- Teleport was developed initially just for the purpose of being able to view
- more data at once. It is written entirely in 8086 assembly language. The
- first version allowed the capturing of screens into 4 windows and had the
- ability to display them at will. Finding this to be extremely useful it
- was decided to work seriously with the program to make it a viable product.
- We inproved the windowing methods, gave it the ability to save and retrieve
- the capured screens, and most importantly the cut and paste feature was
- added. We discussed methods of releasing the program publicly and decided to
- give the User Supported Concept (Shareware) a try. Although we realize that
- every user will not be able to help us out, we are relying on your good
- faith to register the program if you can. Commercial users MUST register
- Teleport. Teleport registration fee is $17 and with registration we will
- send you a really cute OTTER tee-shirt. Additional shirts are available for
- $8. Checks should be made payable to Ottersoft. We appreciate your
- your suggestions and criticisims and look forward to developing many new
- products in the future. If you can think of a neat program idea let us know!
-
-
- IMPORTANT: The Otter featured in the tee-shirt is a European River Otter,
- which we find is a friendlier Otter than many of its cousins.
