HYTELNET version 6.7, the utility which gives an IBM-PC user
instant-access to all Internet-accessible library catalogs, FREE-NETS,
CWISs, BBSs, Gophers, WAIS, etc. is now available. You can get it via
anonymous ftp from: ftp.usask.ca
in the pub/hytelnet/pc/latest subdirectory. It is listed as hyteln67.zip
URL= ftp://ftp.usask.ca/pub/hytelnet/pc/latest/hyteln67.zip
Version 6.7 is a major upgrade. Much redundant information has been
deleted, and errors have been corrected. Also all the new/updated files
created since Version 6.6 have been incorporated.
Note: the UNZIPPED files total over 1.2 mb...but remember, you can
always edit out any information you do not need, in order to save space.
Information from Roy Tennant follows, slightly edited, describing how to
obtain HYTELNET 6.7 from the ftp site:
TO RETRIEVE HYTELNET:
At your system prompt, enter: ftp ftp.usask.ca
or ftp 128.233.3.11
When you receive the Name prompt, enter: anonymous
When you receive the password prompt, enter your Internet address
When you are at the ftp> prompt, enter: binary
At the next ftp> prompt, enter: cd pub/hytelnet/pc/latest
Then enter: get hyteln67.zip
After the transfer has occurred, enter: quit
Proceed with the instructions below to
retrieve the UNZIP utilities (which you
need unless you already have them).
The Hytelnet program is archived using a PKZIP.EXE. To unarchive it,
you must be able to "unzip" the file. If you have the file PKUNZIP.EXE,
it will unarchive the hyteln67.zip file (see below for instructions). If
you do not have it, you may retrieve it by following these instructions:
TO RETRIEVE PKUNZIP:
Use the above instructions for connecting to oak.oakland.edu
At the ftp> prompt, enter: binary
Then enter: cd pub/msdos/zip
Then enter: get pkz204g.exe
After the transfer has occurred, enter: quit
You can also un-archive with UNZIP.EXE. To retrieve it follow these
instructions:
TO RETRIEVE UNZIP:
At your system prompt, enter: ftp oak.oakland.edu
When you receive the Name prompt, enter: anonymous
When you receive the password prompt, enter your Internet address.
When you are at the ftp> prompt, enter: binary
At the next ftp> prompt, enter: cd pub/msdos/zip
Then enter: get unz50p1.exe
TO DOWNLOAD IT TO YOUR PC:
Because of the plethora of PC communications programs, I will not
attempt to give step-by-step instructions here. You should check the
instructions for your software for downloading a *binary* file from your
Internet account to your PC.
TO UNARCHIVE hyteln67.zip:
Make a new directory on your hard disk (e.g., mkdir hytelnet) Copy
PKUNZIP.EXE or UNZIP.EXE and hyteln67.zip into the new directory. Make
sure you are in that directory, then enter: pkunzip hyteln67.zip It will
then unarchive hyteln67.zip, which contains the following files:
HYTELNET.ZIP
READNOW
The file READNOW gives full instructions for un-archiving HYTELNET.ZIP.
Simply put, you **MUST** unZIP the file with the -d parameter (if you
are using PKUNZIP.EXE) so that all the subdirectories will be recursed.
If you are using UNZIP.EXE, no parameters are required.
To use HYTELNET, you should refer to the instructions in the release
announcement by Peter Scott, or to the README file included with the
package.
PLEASE NOTE that I offer the above instructions as a service for those
who are unfamiliar with the steps required to download and use files
from network sources. I cannot be responsible for any local variations
in these procedures which may exist. Please contact your local computer
support staff if you have difficulty performing these tasks.
The UNIX/VMS version, created by Earl Fogel, is available for browsing
by telnet to access.usask.ca login with hytelnet (lower case). For
more information on this version contact Earl at: fogel at herald.usask.ca.
