HYTELNET-Mac version 6.1
READ.ME FILE
July 16, 1992
HYTELNET-MAC has been written specifically for those users who access the
Telnet utility from a Macintosh personal computer. Most of this file, and
all of the other data files that come with the Mac version are duplicates
of the PC Hytelnet data files. This version is esentially a direct port
from the PC version of Hytelnet. The PC files may be used
from this version, at the end of every line you will see a box. The box is
a linefeed character used by IBM computers to mark the end of each line in
a text file.
**New in Version 6.1**
Many new site files have been added, and many have been updated or
deleted.
** Minimum System Requiremnets **
Macintosh Plus
1Mb Ram memory (2.5 under system 7)
1.5M free hard disk space
System 6.0.5
HyperCard 2.0
** Installation **
Create a Hytelnet folder on your hard drive, place the Hytelnet stack
in the folder. Place the 'Hytelnet Data' folder in the Hytelnet
folder. You may rename the HyperCard stack, and place it any where on
your hard disk. The name of the 'Hytelnet Data' folder must not be
changed, nor any files in this folder. This folder must also be placed
in the same folder as the Hytelnet stack. There are curretly 700+ files
in the data folder - if you want to open the folder be prepared to
wait.
