- Teleport Pro Version 1.08 for Windows 95/NT
- (c) 1996 Tennyson Maxwell
- 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 donÆt want to wait for each of them to download? Found
- a great link site, but donÆt 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.

-
- =======================
- 32-BIT WINSOCK REQUIRED
- =======================
-
- At this time, Teleport Pro requires that you use a 32-bit winsock dll for your
- Internet connections. In most cases, the Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking system
- will satisfy this requirement. Some third-party winsocks, such as Trumpet, are
- also compatible with Teleport Pro. If you are unsure of whether you are using
- a 32-bit winsock connection, contact your ISP or the organization that provided
- you with your connection software.
-
- Some third-party utilities can convert between a 16-bit winsock and an
- application like Teleport Pro that requires a 32-bit connection. One such
- program is "connect-WSOCK32", a shareware utility available at
- http://vroom.web.de/connect/
-
-
- =============================
- MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95 BUG NOTE
- =============================
-
- Microsoft has confirmed that a bug in the Windows 95 operating system may cause
- your computer to crash while using the Internet. The bug slowly leaks resources
- each time a connection is established to the Internet. Because Teleport Pro
- establishes many, many connections to the Internet while running, it is important
- that you install Microsoft's bug patch, called KRNLUPD.EXE. The patch can
- be found on www.microsoft.com, and also on Tennyson Maxwell's website at
- www.tenmax.com.
-
-
- ========================================
- MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 3.0 BUG NOTE
- ========================================
-
- Microsoft has confirmed that a bug in their Internet Explorer 3.0 Beta 2 causes
- other applications' toolbar buttons to display as if disabled. Teleport Pro users
- will notice that the Refresh, Start, Pause, Stop, and Abort buttons of those
- programs will not appear to function properly if Internet Explorer 3.0 Beta 2 has
- been installed (although the buttons will continue to work). Because of this bug,
- Tennyson Maxwell recommends against installing the Beta 2 version of Microsoft
- Internet Explorer. Uninstalling Internet Explorer 3.0 will not, in most cases,
- solve the problem. Microsoft has promised a fix with their next version.
-
-
- =========================
- 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.
-
-
- =====================================
- CONVERTING INTERNET MARAUDER PROJECTS
- =====================================
-
- You can open Internet Marauder projects (IMP files) using Teleport Pro. Just select
- "Internet Marauder Project" in the "Files of Type" combo box in the Open Project
- dialog when you open a new project. Teleport Pro will automatically convert the
- old project into a Teleport Pro project.
-
- Note, however, that the Teleport Pro database is substantially more complicated than
- that of Internet Marauder and, therefore, some information may translate incompletely.
- Be sure to use the Refresh command when running the new project for the first time.
-
- Note also that Teleport Pro will save the project as a Teleport Pro project, making
- it unusable in Internet Marauder. If you wish to keep your old Internet Marauder
- project intact, be sure to use the Save As command to save the new, converted project
- under a new name, first.
-
-
- ========================
- REGISTERING TELEPORT PRO
- ========================
-
- Teleport Pro is shareware. You are granted a free license to use this software
- 40 times, after which the license and the software both expire. If you decide that
- you like Teleport Pro -- and we hope that you do! -- you can register it, keep it,
- and use it as much as you like. Registering the program is just like buying it.
- There are really two good reasons to register Teleport Pro:
-
- 1. The program, and your license to use it, expire after you have used it
- 40 times.
- 2. Until you register it, Teleport Pro will only retrieve up to 50 files per
- project.
-
- For now, registration costs only $39.95 US. And your registration is valid for all
- "minor version" upgrades of the Teleport Pro product. This means that your
- registration number will work on every upgrade we release until Version 2.0.
- In fact, if you send us your email address when you register, weÆll notify you
- automatically every time we issue an upgrade.
-
- We can accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. We can
- also accept checks or money orders drawn on a United States bank, or a foreign bank
- with a United States clearing house.
-
- To register Teleport Pro, simply select Register from the Help menu. Teleport Pro
- will display the Registration dialog box. There are three options for sending us
- your registration information:
-
- Secure Server: Press this button to launch your browser and visit our Secure Server.
- Your order will be processed online and you will receive a registration code
- immediately! Choose this option for fastest service. You must have a secure browser
- (such as Netscape or Microsoft) to use this option. Credit card orders only, please.
-
- CompuServe: If you're a CompuServe member, press this button to launch CompuServe,
- then GO SWREG and register program # 12414. Your CompuServe account will be billed
- for the account will be billed the cost of registration. We will email your
- registration code to your CompuServe address when we receive notice of the order,
- usually within a week.
-
- Mail/Email/Fax: Press this button to display the Order Form and print it or save it
- to disk. You can then mail or email it to us, or fax it to us. (Our address/fax
- number will appear on the form.) If mailing, please enclose your check, money
- order, or credit card data. We will email your registration code within two days
- of receiving your order.
