- Welcome to the HyperACCESS Pro Beta Test!
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Thanks for helping us beta test HyperACCESS Pro, the ultimate OS/2
- communications program. In this file you will find important informa-
- tion about HyperACCESS Pro Beta #2 and bug reporting procedures.
-
- HyperACCESS Pro is the exciting new top-of-the-line product from
- Hilgraeve, the leading manufacturer of OS/2 communications software
- since 1989, makers of HyperACCESS Lite (which IBM bundles with OS/2
- Warp), HyperACCESS, HyperACCESS/5 and KopyKat.
-
- HyperACCESS Pro gives you the power to access BBSs, online services
- and host computers through modems or the Internet, PLUS the ability to
- remotely control other OS/2 PCs. All perfectly integrated in the
- clean, award-winning user interface that earned HyperACCESS for OS/2
- the title "Best New Communications Program of 1995" from OS/2
- Professional.
-
- HyperACCESS Pro includes every capability you'll find in HyperACCESS
- for OS/2, plus new 32-bit remote control powers evolved from the 16-
- bit remote control technology we pioneered in KopyKat.
-
- The rest of this section compares HyperACCESS Pro to HyperACCESS Lite
- and other Hilgraeve products. Skip to the next section, if you like.
-
- Benefits HyperACCESS Pro offers over HyperACCESS Lite:
- * Now you can see and operate the entire OS/2 desktop of a remote PC.
- * Answer calls from other PCs with a powerful password-protected host.
- * Learn and play back logons, file transfers or repetitive operations.
- * Automate communications processes with REXX or external languages.
- * See graphics files display on the fly as you download them.
- * Emulate additional terminals with greater flexibility, including the
- power to redefine keys, screen colors, and number of rows & columns.
- * Enjoy more and faster file transfer protocols with more settings.
- * Supports more modems or works through your existing TCP/IP stack,
- NetBIOS and SPX/IPX networks, serial cables or multi-port boards.
- * Comes with one-click utilities that call Govt BBSs and set your PC's
- time/date to atomic standards or display the latest weather maps.
- * You also get a list of 300 OS/2 BBSs, preloaded and ready to call!
-
- Benefits HyperACCESS Pro offers over HyperACCESS for OS/2:
- * HyperACCESS Pro now includes HyperHost, a separate program, like
- host mode in HyperACCESS for OS/2, but more powerful and secure.
- * Each HyperACCESS Pro retail package will include a second copy of
- HyperHost, for use on a second OS/2 PC.
- * HyperHost can be accessed by anyone with communications software and
- a password, but HyperACCESS Pro users have special powers.
- * Authorized HyperACCESS Pro users can see and remotely control the
- OS/2 desktop of HyperHost PCs, and transfer files more quickly.
- * You can communicate through a wider variety of modems than ever, or
- through the Internet, or any TCP/IP, NetBIOS or SPX/IPX network.
- * HyperACCESS Pro will add emulation of IBM3278 terminals, so you can
- access IBM host computers through asynchronous protocol converters.
-
- Benefits HyperACCESS Pro offers over KopyKat:
- * Assign different access privileges & passwords to each caller.
- * Improved security with callback, time limits and activity logging.
- * Now remotely control OS/2 PCs with up to 1280 X 1024 X 16M colors.
- * You can scale the size of the image of the remote PC's desktop.
- * Reverse the phone charges by using roving callback.
- * You and the remote user can chat (using your keyboards).
- * Automate file transfers using REXX or other programming languages.
- * Navigate to remote PCs through Internet service providers, PBXs, or
- other systems that display prompts or login procedures of their own.
- * Your PC can now answer & differentiate between calls authorized for
- remote control or unattended file transfer, through the same modem.
- * Simultaneously transfer files, use remote control and chat, with new
- cutting-edge 32-bit multi-channel technology that kicks in when you
- connect between PCs with HyperACCESS Pro, through dial-up, Internet,
- or TCP/IP, NetBIOS or SPX/IPX networks. (Keep using 16-bit KopyKat
- for remote control of PCs with OS/2 1.3.)
-
- Benefits HyperACCESS Pro offers over HyperACCESS/5:
- * Full graphical remote control between HyperACCESS Pro PCs.
- * Supports more modems and works through your existing TCP/IP stack.
- * Instantly review received text in backscroll buffer that keeps text
- even between sessions, stored separately for each system you call.

- Downloading and Uncompressing HyperACCESS Pro Beta #2
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- Before you can install HyperACCESS Pro Beta #2, you need to download
- it from any of many online sites and unzip the program files. Beta #2
- is provided as two zip files, HAPB2_D1.ZIP and HAPB2_D2.ZIP. The
- file you're reading now came from HAPB2_D1.ZIP, so if you're reading
- this, you probably already unpacked at least that file. But we'll
- explain the process anyway, in case you got this file some other way.
-
- HAPB2_D1.ZIP and HAPB2_D2.ZIP contain the HyperACCESS Pro installation
- files in compressed format. After you download these files, you need
- to run them to generate the files necessary to install HyperACCESS
- Pro. HAPB2_D1.ZIP expands to create Disk #1 of a two-disk set of
- installation disks, and HAPB2_D2.ZIP expands to create Disk #2. Here's
- the procedure:
-
- 1. Open an OS/2 window, and change to the drive and/or directory
- containing the downloaded files.
-
- 2. Type PKUNZIP HAPB2_D1 <destination>, and press ENTER. Replace
- <destination> with the drive and/or directory where you want the
- HyperACCESS Pro files to be copied. We recommend that the
- destination be a floppy drive containing a blank, formatted
- 3-1/2" diskette. That way, you can use this diskette to install
- the software on each of the PCs you use for testing.
-
- Example: PKUNZIP HAPB2_D1 A:
-
- 3. Repeat step 2 for the file HAPB2_D2.ZIP. If uncompressing to floppy
- disks, please label the diskettes as HyperACCESS Pro Disk #1 and
- Disk #2.
-
- 4. Once the files have been copied to the drive or directory, use a
- text editor to read the README.NOW file in the Disk #1 drive or
- directory. (That's the file you're reading now!)
-
- ------------
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Once you've downloaded and uncompressed HyperACCESS Pro Beta #2, you
- can install it as described here:
-
- Setup Phase I
- =============
- 1. Change to the drive that contains HyperACCESS Pro Disk #1 (or the
- directory that contains the Disk #1 files).
-
- 2. Type SETUP.
-
- 3. When asked if you want to install HyperHost also, answer Yes.
-
- 4. Specify the directories for the Program and Data files. These may
- be the same or different location depending on your preferences.
- Click OK to continue.
-
- NOTE: Program files may be installed to a shared network directory
- that you set to read-only after installation. Data files must be in
- a writable directory and should not be shared.
-
- 5. Select the choice you prefer in the CONFIG.SYS Additions dialog,
- and click OK.
-
- 6. Click Continue after reading the next status message. HyperACCESS
- Pro files will then be copied to the specified directories.
-
- 7. When prompted to do so, insert HyperACCESS Pro Disk #2 (or specify
- the directory that contains the Disk #2 files). Click OK to
- continue.
-
- 6. Click Continue after reading the next status message to begin Phase
- II of the installation.
-
- Setup Phase II
- ==============
- 1. Enter all user information. Click Continue when finished.
-
- 2. Select the type of connection you will most often use. Click OK to
- continue.
-
- 3. If you chose "Modem or Modem Pool" as your connection type, select
- an appropriate modem from the selection list. Click OK to continue.
-
- 4. Select the connection type you will use most often.
-
- 5. If you chose "Modem or Modem Pool" as your connection type, select
- the dialing method your phone system uses. Click OK to continue.
-
- 6. If you chose "Modem or Modem Pool" as your connection type, enter a
- dialing prefix if your phone system requires one (such as '9' to
- get an outside line). Otherwise, leave this field blank. Click OK
- to continue.
-
- 7. Specify your default download and upload directories. If you leave
- these field blank, whichever directory is currently selected at the
- time of the transfer will be used. Click OK to continue.
-
- 8. Click OK after reading final status message.
-
- 9. Reboot machine so that changes made may take effect.
-
- You are now ready to run HyperACCESS Pro and/or HyperHost for OS/2.
-

- Reporting Bugs
- --------------
-
- When you report bugs, please tell us which beta you are using (Beta
- #2) and provide enough detail so that we can reproduce the problem. It
- is much more useful to hear "when I do this, then this, then this, the
- program misbehaves in this way," than to hear that something "doesn't
- work right." Too much information is much better than not enough.
-
- We're looking for more than just bug reports; we also want to know
- what you think. So please give us your comments and opinions, and let
- us know what additional features you would like to see in future
- versions. We would also love to receive a detailed account of how you
- use HyperACCESS Pro in your particular field of business. We might
- even want to share your experiences in articles, reviews, or
- advertisements (with your consent, of course).
-
- The best way to submit bug reports is to post messages in CompuServe.
- That way, you and others can see what has been reported, together with
- our responses. If you have access to our private beta section, post
- your messages there. Otherwise, you may post them in our public
- section (type Go Hilgraeve). We generally answer all messages within
- one or two business days. And, just in case you were wondering, no,
- Hilgraeve does not receive any commissions from CompuServe.
-
- The HyperACCESS Pro Beta Coordinator is:
- Susan Lewis
- Compuserve ID: 71055,54
- INTERNET: 71055.54@compuserve.com
-
- If you prefer not to use CompuServe, you may send mail to the Internet
- address above; post messages on the Hilgraeve BBS (313-243-5915); or
- send us a fax (313-243-0645). While we always respond to CompuServe
- messages, we generally respond to messages received other ways only if
- we need more information. Please do not report bugs by phone.
-

- Known Bugs and Incomplete Features
- ----------------------------------
-
- A number of features are not yet completed in this version of
- HyperACCESS Pro. We have disabled the controls for these features, so
- if you run across a control that is greyed out, it means that feature
- is not yet complete. The following is a list of incomplete features
- and known bugs in this beta release of HyperACCESS Pro and HyperHost.
- Please do not report bugs in these areas:
-
- NOTE: While we welcome your comments on speed and performance at any

- Ray Gwinn's SIO Drivers
- -----------------------
-
- HyperACCESS Pro with HyperHost for OS/2 comes with a copy of Ray
- Gwinn's renowned SIO shareware communications drivers. Ray's drivers
- have become extremely popular among OS/2 users, because they support
- speeds up to 115,200 bps (standard OS/2 Warp drivers limit you to
- 57,600 bps) and generally deliver better performance at lower speeds,
- as well.
-
- Please note that the enclosed copy of the SIO drivers is UNREGISTERED.
- If you decide to keep using SIO, you should register (pay the nominal
- registration fee) as described below, so Ray can continue to develop
- and support these outstanding OS/2 comm drivers.
-
- Also note that Ray is solely responsible for the support of the SIO
- drivers. If you have questions relating to SIO or encounter
- difficulties with this shareware product, you will need to contact Ray
- (not Hilgraeve) for assistance, as described below.
-
- The following documentation has been provided by Ray Gwinn, the author
- of the SIO drivers:
-
- What is SIO?
-
- SIO is a Serial Input/Output (SIO) communications character device
- driver. It provides an interface between application programs and the
- serial communications hardware.
-
- SIO had been designed as a high performance replacement for the OS/2
- device driver COM.SYS. This manual documents the known differences
- between COM.SYS and SIO.SYS.
-
- SIO only works with 8250 (type) serial I/O devices. Such devices
- include, but are not limited to the 8250A, 16450, 16550, 16550A and
- the 82510. If you have a PC that is an IBM or near-compatible which
- has a serial communication port, it is likely that it contains one of
- these devices. SIO will identify the type of serial devices that it
- finds at load time.
-
- Like other Device Drivers, SIO will do very little standing alone.
- There must be an application(s) program that makes use of SIO's
- functions before one will benefit from the use of SIO.
-
- Distribution, Ordering and Support
-
- Distribution and Ordering
-
- The entire package collectively known as SIO is ShareWare. It is not
- free software or freeware. See LICENSE.TXT and ORDER.TXT for
- additional information. The ShareWare version of SIO is distributed
- electronically. One may check their favorite electronic hangout for
- the latest version of SIO. The latest copy of the ShareWare version
- is always posted for downloading from the BBS at 1-304-255-7903 or
- 199.248.240.2.
-
- Registered versions of SIO are distributed by US Mail and
- electronically from the SIO Distribution and Support BBS. Users
- desiring to register electronically, may call the BBS and register on
- line (1-304-255-7903 or 199.248.240.2) and immediately download their
- registered version of SIO. Use the ORDER command at the main BBS
- prompt.
-
- Registrations/Orders can also be placed by phone, mail, FAX, and
- email. See the front cover of this manual for the phone numbers and
- addresses. Also see ORDER.TXT for and order form that may be used.
-
- Support
-
- Extensive testing has been done to insure that this product works on
- the widest possible range of OS/2 V2 (and up) systems. In most cases,
- problems can be resolved by reading this manual carefully.
-
- Support is provided in section 4 of the OS/2 Vendor Forum on
- CompuServe (GO OS2BVEN). Section 4 of the OS2BVEN Forum is
- dedicated to the support of SIO.
-
- In addition, support is provided by BBS, Email and FAX. Voice
- support would overwhelm the author and is not available. If, after
- reading the manual carefully, you are unable to resolve a problem, you
- may submit a problem report to one of the following:
-
- Email CompuServe: 71154,575
- Internet: ray@gwinn.com
- FAX 1-304-255-7902
- BBS 1-304-255-7903 or 199.248.240.2
-
- Users should note that Support does not always result in a correction
- of a problem. In addition, the support provided is support of SIO, and
- not the applications that use SIO. Questions and/or problems about
- applications programs (such as terminal or FAX programs) should be
- directed to the available support for the application.
-
- Installing SIO/VSIO
-
- SIO is distributed as a ZIP file. To extract the individual files from
- the distribution file you need the program PKUNZIP or an equivalent.
- PKUNZIP is a product of PKWARE and can be downloaded from almost any
- bulletin board system (BBS). You probably already have PKUNZIP and
- know how to use it, otherwise I doubt that you would be reading this.
- When PKUNZIP is used to extract the various files, -AV should appear
- after each file name as it is extracted. In addition, the message:
-
- Authentic files Verified!
-
- should appear after the extraction process. If this message does not
- appear, or appears with a name other than Raymond L. Gwinn, the file
- is not an original SIO distribution file.
-
- The only file that the basic user actually needs is SIO.SYS. Virtual
- DOS machine (VDM) users will also want VSIO.SYS. Copy one or both of
- these files to a convenient directory or subdirectory on your system.
- An installation program (INSTALL.EXE) is provided to install the SIO
- files and modify your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- Quick Start
-
- Create a temporary directory, change into that directory and unzip the
- SIO distribution zip there. Type INSTALL followed by the enter key.
- For a basic setup, that is all that is needed.
-
- If you choose to install SIO manually, the following should be done.
-
- BE SURE THAT ANY SERIAL MOUSE DRIVER APPEARS IN THE CONFIG.SYS BEFORE
- SIO.SYS.
-
- If you are going to use standard communications ports, either COM1 or
- COM2 on an ISA bus (AT or clone), or COM1 through COM4 on a PS/2, then
- add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:
-
- DEVICE=SIO.SYS DEVICE=VSIO.SYS
-
- Be sure to REMark out the COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS device drivers if they
- exist in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- With the above statements you will be able to use standard COM1 and/or
- COM2 (if they exist) on any PC system known to the author.
-
- The above, indented documentation was provided by Ray Gwinn, the
- author of the SIO drivers. If you have questions about the SIO
- drivers or encounter difficulties with this shareware product, please
- contact Ray as described above.
-
- ------------
- Using VMODEM
- ------------
-
- VMODEM is a virtual COM port driver that allows communications
- programs to use TCP/IP. Since HyperACCESS Pro and HyperHost directly
- support TCP/IP, using this driver is not needed. However, if you wish
- to use this driver, you may do so by setting up a new connection
- with 'Vmodem (Ray Gwinn's SIO)' as the modem name and whichever
- COM port you are using Vmodem on as the COM port. It's as easy as
- that. HyperACCESS Pro will function as though it is talking to a
- modem even though it will actually be using Vmodem and TCP/IP.
-
- ------------------------------------------------
- Setting Up HyperACCESS Pro for OS/2 on a Network
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- If you are setting up HyperACCESS Pro or HyperHost for OS/2 for use on
- a network, you should install the PROGRAM files into a network
- directory which is accessible to all users who you want to be able to
- use HyperACCESS Pro or HyperHost. You may prevent users from changing
- or deleting files in this directory by making this a read-only
- directory. Each user's DATA files, on the other hand, should be
- installed into a separate directory, which is accessible to that user.
- You may prevent other users from changing or deleting files is this
- directory by giving write access to that directory only to the
- authorized user of that set of data files.
-
- NOTE: You must possess a quantity of HyperACCESS Pro licenses equal
- to the number of potential users; see License Agreement.
-
- ------------------------
- List Contents Disclaimer
- ------------------------
-
- HyperACCESS Pro with HyperHost comes with libraries of 1000s of on-
- line systems that you can call. These libraries are actually ASCII
- files containing lists of BBSs and other on-line services compiled by
- independent, 3rd-party authors. You can download newer versions of
- these lists, plus a huge variety of similar lists, from BBSs and on-
- line services all over the world.
-
- Authors of such lists consider them to be copyrighted material.
- Therefore, we include lists only with the author's consent and in
- original, unaltered form. The authors maintain the copyright and the
- sole right to revise and update these lists.
-
- NOTE: If you find anything in these lists that you feel needs to be
- updated or revised, please notify the independent, 3rd-party author of
- the list, not Hilgraeve. These lists are copyrighted material of their
- authors, who retain the sole right to update and revise them.
-
- Certain lists may include BBSs that provide access to explicit
- materials--materials you may find offensive or unsuitable for minors.
- Hilgraeve in no way condones electronic distribution of such
- materials. If you find materials on a BBS offensive, please be aware
- that the List panel DOES enable you to delete that entry from your
- copy of the list.
-
- Due to disk space limitations, the Fidonet list is not provided with
- HyperACCESS Pro. However, you may find this list on our BBS. Simply
- download the file, set up a template and away you go.
-
- ------------------------------------------
- Weather Report and To-the-Second Utilities
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Weather Report
- ==============
- Weather Report (TM) is a cool utility that keep you abreast of up-to-
- the-minute changes in the weather around the country. It does this by
- calling up the FedWorld government BBS and selectively downloading
- various weather map and satellite images for you to view. To use
- Weather Report, simply double-click on the Weather Report icon in your
- notebook. You will be prompted to select from a list of available
- weather images. Once you have selected the images to download, it will
- call the BBS and take you through logging in and downloading the
- images. You will see the images appear as they are being downloaded,
- allowing you to view the latest hurricane or weather front moving
- through the area.
-
- NOTE: Since this particular BBS periodically changes login prompts for
- a new user, the logon script may get stuck waiting for a prompt that
- never appears. If this happens, simple hang up and call again. The
- script should then run to completion.
-
- To-the-Second
- =============
- To-the-Second is a neat little atomic clock icon in HyperACCESS Pro's
- Phonebook that performs a special function. When you double-click it,
- it calls a US Government BBS, picks up the precise time and date from
- the National Bureau of Standards' atomic clock, then sets your PC's
- time and date accordingly.
-
- In the case you inadvertently set the incorrect time zone the first
- time you run the To-the-Second session, don't panic--you may correct
- this by opening the To-the-Second session and following these simple
- steps:
-
- 1. From the Terminal menu, click on Properties and choose Runtime
- Values from the list.
-
- 2. From the String #0: drop-down list find the 17th and 18th entries
- and delete them.
-
- 3. Click OK.
-
- 4. Connect to the To-the-Second session again to set the correct time
- zone.
-
- If you experience difficulty in connecting to this BBS and are using a
- high-speed modem, you may find that turning off your modem's error
- correction feature will correct this. You may do this by experimenting
- with your modem's initialization string. Usually adding a \N0 or a &Q0
- to the session's additional modem commands will accomplish this. Refer
- to the documentation that came with your modem for further
- information.

- DEC Terminal Keyboard Usage Notes
- ---------------------------------
-
- Keys Used to Emulate a DEC Terminal's PF1-PF4 Keys
- ==================================================
- The keys normally used in HyperACCESS Pro to emulate a DEC terminal's
- PF1-PF4 keys are F1-F4. Some people, however, prefer to use the keys
- at the top of the PC's numeric keypad (Num Lock, /, *, -), because
- these keys' physical location matches that of a DEC terminal's PF1-PF4
- keys. If you prefer using these keys, select the "PF1-PF4 mapped to
- top row of keypad" checkbox in the terminal settings dialog for the
- DEC terminal you are using.
-
- When "PF1-PF4 mapped to top row of keypad" is checked ...
- =========================================================
- The keys at the top of the keypad act as PF1-PF4, and F1-F4 revert to
- performing functions defined by the operating system. For example, F1
- displays help, and Num Lock sends the character sequence that the DEC
- terminal associates with PF1. The operating system will also sense
- that Num Lock has been pressed, and toggle the keyboard's Num Lock
- state. The Num Lock state, however, has no effect on the behavior of
- the DEC terminal emulator when PF1-PF4 are mapped to the top row of
- the keypad.
-
- When "PF1-PF4 mapped to top row of keypad" is NOT checked...
- ============================================================
- F1-F4 act as PF1-PF4, and the keys at the top of the keypad (Num Lock,
- /, *, -) perform their normal functions. For example, F1 sends the
- character sequence that the DEC terminal associates with PF1, and Num
- Lock toggles the keyboard's Num Lock state. When Num Lock is on, your
- PC's keypad (except the top row) emulates the numeric keypad of a DEC
- terminal. When Num Lock is off, your keypad's arrow keys emulate a DEC
- terminal's arrow keys. (If your keyboard has a separate set of arrow
- keys, that set will always emulate a DEC terminal's arrow keys,
- regardless Num Lock's state.)

- Batch File Transfers
- --------------------
-
- HyperACCESS Pro provides a method for sending a group of files from
- different locations using a single command. Here's how:
-
- 1. Create a "batch" file. This file will contain the paths and
- filenames of all the files you want to send.
-
- 2. While connected to the system you want to transfer the files to,
- select Send from the Transfer menu, or simply click the upload
- button.
-
- 3. Specify the batch file you created in step 1 as the file to send,
- choose the protocol and then click OK.
-
- It's as easy as that!
-
- -----------------------------
- Uninstalling HyperACCESS Pro
- -----------------------------
-
- The Uninstall program performs the following operations:
-
- 1. Removes HyperACCESS Pro's changes from the CONFIG.SYS and OS2.INI
- files on the PC where Uninstall is being run.
-
- 2. Deletes contents of the program directory associated with this
- installed copy of HyperACCESS Pro, unless the files were placed
- there by another installation of HyperACCESS Pro (or the directory
- is write-protected).
-
- 3. Deletes contents of the data directory associated with this
- installed copy of HyperACCESS Pro. If you want to keep notebook
- entry files, make backup copies before running Uninstall.
-
- 4. Deletes all desktop objects associated with this installation
- of HyperACCESS Pro.
-
- 5. Leaves any files that you have placed in the Upload, Download,
- and Lists directories, and leaves the HyperACCESS Pro directory
- structure intact, so you can still reach those files.
-
- ---------------
- Installed Files
- ---------------
-
- Other than placing these files in the directories specified during
- installation, HyperACCESS Pro makes one or two additional changes to
- your system. It places an entry in your OS2.INI to specify the
- program and user directories, and if you elected to have Setup modify
- your CONFIG.SYS file, the HyperACCESS Pro program directory is added
- to the LIBPATH and HELP statements within that file.
