- Teleport Pro Version 1.24 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.
