WHAT IS EMISSARY(TM)? 

 

Wollongong's Emissary is a new Internet access solution featuring Web 

browsing, multimedia e-mail and news reading, file retrieval, and 

interactive access all in a single, integrated Windows application.  

Emissary addresses problems that Internet users have been struggling 

with for years--complexity and inefficiency.  What sets Emissary apart 

from the pack is the incorporation of COLT(TM)--Wollongong's object 

oriented, Client Object Linking Technology, the intelligent agent that 

insulates users from all those acronyms like FTP, HTTP, MIME, etc.

 

Before Emissary, Internet users were forced to buy different 

applications with separate user interfaces to utilize select Internet 

resources.  These separate applications require users to manipulate 

multiple applications and various protocols to do simple tasks, such as 

viewing an image contained in a mail message or news item.  With 

Emissary, all the complexities of Internet protocols are negotiated and 

executed automatically.  

 

Wollongong is pleased to offer this opportunity to evaluate Emissary to 

the entire Internet community. Since this is an evaluation version of 

Emissary, it will expire and cease to operate on 31 October 1995. 

Please check the Wollongong Web pages for periodic software updates. 

 



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 

 

Emissary's minimum computer requirements are:  A PC/386, 4MB RAM, 

Windows 3.1 or higher.  The Emissary download file is about 2.7 

megabytes in size.  It creates files totaling another 4 megabytes in 

size during installation.  Be certain you have sufficient hard disk 

space prior to installation. 

 

For uncompromised graphic displays, set your display to at least 256 

colors, if possible. 

 

You must be running a WINSOCK 1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack. Your current 

browser or other Internet tools probably use a WINSOCK stack now. (Note 

that Emissary Desktop Edition, available now, includes Wollongong's high 

performance TCP/IP stack.) Once connected to the Internet, you will be 

able to run Emissary the same way you run your other applications. 

 

If you are unsure about your TCP/IP stack, check with your System 

Administrator or Internet Service Provider for clarification. 

 

 

INSTALLATION 

 

If you receive your evaluation copy over the Internet, you should have 

one executable file. Simply run this file and follow the prompts to 

install.



If you received this evaluation copy on disk, insert Disk 1, then from 

Windows, run SETUP.EXE. From there, follow the installation prompts, 

inserting Disk 2 when asked.



In order to install the Emissary software, you will be required to 

accept an on-line evaluation and license agreement.



The installation procedure will give you the option to change 

installation directory and Program Group name. We strongly recommend 

that you use the default values whenever possible. 

 

Once the installation is complete, your Emissary Program Group will 

appear on your screen with the Emissary icon, a Help icon, and the 

Emissary Uninstall icon. 

 

If you wish at any point to remove the software, use the Uninstall 

program provided within the Emissary program group.  After you run the 

Uninstall program, please check your Windows directory, and if the files 

WAACKY.INI and UNWISE.EXE still exist, please delete them manually. 

 

 

CONFIGURATION 

 

In order to begin using your copy of Emissary, please follow the 

instructions below. 

 

There are three configuration parameters you must set in order to use 

Emissary.  Once the software is installed and running, you'll find these 

configuration boxes under the "Options" menu bar: 

	 

Choose "Mail..." in the "Options" menu and set your POP3 account name 

(for example, "bob@mailbox.acme.com") and password, as well as other 

mail preferences.  Click "Send Options" and enter the name of your SMTP 

server (for example, "mailout.acme.com") and your own email address.

 

Choose "News..." in the "Options" menu and enter the name of your News 

server (for example, "news.acme.com"), your name, and the organization 

you represent. You can set other News preferences by clicking 

"Preferences".



Choose "System Options..." in the "Options" menu if you need to enter 

the IP address of your Domain Name Server.



If you are unsure of what any of these parameters are for your site, 

please check with your System Administrator or Internet Service 

Provider.



This is the minimum of configuration that is needed to get Emissary up 

and running.  There are several additional parameters that you may set 

to further customize Emissary, but these are not required for standard 

operation.  You will find these preference options within various menus. 

 

Emissary is now ready to help you explore your PC, corporate networks, 

and the Internet! 

 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

 

What if it doesn't work?   Due to the limited number of configuration 

parameters Emissary requires, troubleshooting your installation and 

configuration is easy. 

 

 

The following are some of the most common ways users can have problems.  

If you find that you are having trouble with your Emissary installation, 

please check the following: 

 

* Make sure that your TCP/IP WINSOCK stack is running and functioning 

correctly. You can verify this by trying your other Internet 

applications, or if you have it, the PING utility to check the 

availability of your mail and/or News server. 

 

* Double check to make sure your configuration parameters have been 

correctly entered, (i.e.: POP3 account name, SMTP server, News server)
