- This is a fully functional version of the WinTapestry application that
- is included in the SuperHighway Access for Windows product that will be
- available from Frontier Technologies Corporation. WinTapestry supports
- many different protocols including Gopher+, WWW, and CSO, and is fully
- Windows Sockets compliant.

-
- *** Standard Installation ***
-
- WinTapestry is a Windows Sockets application that is currently self
- contained in a single ZIP archive. Simply extract the files into a
- directory and add the file TAPESTRY.EXE to your program group.
-
- WinTapestry comes with a default Internet Organizer with many
- preconfigured Internet resources available to you. If you do not
- find the resources you want in the Internet Organizer, you can easily
- add additional items to the Internet Organizer as you find them on the
- Internet by using drag and drop from the Gopher Tree View window, or by
- using the File|Connect menu item. This menu item allows you to simply
- type in the hostname and the type of protocol to use, or you can enter
- a complete Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
-
-
- *** Changes from WINTAP-1.EXE ***
-
- 1) Tapestry will now work around the problem with some Winsock stacks
- which erroneously assume that input parameters to WSAAsyncGetHostByName()
- are permanent and therefore do not make their own local copies of those
- parameters (e.g., Trumpet and NetManage, possibly others). Users who saw
- frequent hostname lookup failures before will see improved reliability.
- This problem was characterized by a "No data" error when trying to start
- a Gopher session.
-
- 2) The WWW session problems which produced "404 Document not found" or
- "403 Forbidden" when you click on an existing hyperlink are fixed.
-
- 3) The WWW window supports Telnet and Tn3270 hyperlinks, as well as the
- Add Bookmark and Save As menu items.
-
- 4) A number of general cleanups were made, including some improvements
- to the WWW display.
-
-
- *** Requirements ***
-
- This program requires Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
- WinTapestry contains an internal viewer for images in many of the
- most popular formats, including GIF and JPEG, but other file types
- will require external programs for viewing. See the online
- documentation for details.
-
-

- the F1 key at any time while running WinTapestry.
