- HERE 1.0 Beta 4
-
-
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- Here is a freeware program that allows you to easily post
- your ever-changing dynamic PPP or SLIP Internet address to a
- finger account, thereby allowing others to look up your
- current Internet address and contact you.
-
- Here also includes a finger client to allow you to easily
- check the PPP or SLIP address postings of other Here users.
-
- Since other users will now be able to locate your current
- address, you will be able to use talk servers such as
- WinTalk; FTP servers such as WinQV/Net, Serv-U, and WFTPD;
- and HTTP servers such as HTTPD and ZB Server.
-
- MINIMUM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
-
- Here is available in two compilations, one for Win16 and one
- for Win32. Both compilations require an IBM compatible PC
- with a 386+ microprocessor and Winsock 1.1+. The Win16
- version requires Windows 3.1+ and the Win32 version requires
- Windows 95, NT, or 3.1 with Win32s.
-
- VERSION AND DOWNLOAD INFORMATION
-
- The latest version of Here is 1.0 Beta 4, which has the
- following changes from the previous version:
-
- - Introduction of Win32 compilation for Windows 95 and
- NT.
- - Fix for displaying information from finger servers
- that fail to use CR/LF pairs.
- - Fix for FTP servers using multiline replies.
- - Fix to set time outs during autoposts.
- - Removed automatic prompt for missing FTP login
- information on startup. This allows Here to be used
- simply as a full finger client, even if finger and
- FTP server facilities are not available for posting.
- - Removed some double error messages.
