                   Teleport Pro Version 1.20 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 don’t want to wait for each of them to download?  Found
a great link site, but don’t 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.

===================
NEW IN VERSION 1.20
===================

These are just some of the exciting new features implemented in version 1.20--

	NEW: Server-side image map exploration!  Teleport Pro can now explore
	     server-side image maps, and will actually convert the server-side
			 map into a full client-side map.
	NEW: Automatic connect, disconnect, reconnect system allows Teleport
	     automatically to connect to, disconnect from, and maintain connections
			 to the Internet as necessary.
	NEW: Dynamic relinking system lets Teleport relink HTML files so that links
	     for unretrieved files point either back to their original Internet 
			 location, or to a message that explains why they weren't retrieved.
	NEW: DOS-style 8.3 filename linking lets Teleport write links for systems
	     that do not support long filenames.
	NEW: Advanced http (v1.1+) compatibility provides compliance with the latest
	     server standards.
	NEW: Exclusions system allows you to specify path and file type exclusions.
	NEW: Smart Start button replaces the old, unintuitive Start and Refresh
	     buttons.  Teleport now automatically switches into Update mode when
			 necessary.
	NEW: What's New button displays only newly retrieved files in the File List,
	     letting you see exactly what has changed on a site since the last time
			 Teleport scanned it.



============================
NEW UNLIMITED UPGRADE POLICY
============================

Because of the confusion over whether and when registered users will be eligible
for free upgrades, we've decided to make it simple:  All upgrades to Teleport Pro
are free for registered users, regardless of version number.

Also, the unregistered per-project file limit has been doubled to 200 files.


======================================
CONVERTING OLDER VERSION PROJECT FILES
======================================

Beginning with Version 1.20, Teleport Pro uses a new, more compact database
structure and a new type of project file (.tpp file).  Teleport Pro will
automatically convert project files created by older versions of Teleport
Pro -- but once saved in the new v1.20 format, these project files will
become unusable by the previous versions of the program.  If you plan to
keep and use older versions of Teleport Pro, be sure to save a copy of your
project files in their original format before you open (and then save)
the files using Version 1.20 or later.


======================
A NOTE ON JAVA SUPPORT
======================

When you run SETUP to install Teleport Pro for the first time, it will create a 
"bin" directory in the folder where you install Teleport Pro.  This bin will
contain two files, CLASSES.ZIP and JAVAP.EXE, needed for Teleport to retrieve
Java applets.

DO NOT UNZIP the CLASSES.ZIP file!


=======================
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 a patch from Microsoft that corrects this problem.  Microsoft makes
the patch for United States users available at
     http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/krnlupd.htm

European users should locate the proper patch file for their language system from
the page at
     http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/localize/localize.htm

A copy of the United States version of the patch is also available for download from
the Tennyson Maxwell website at
     http://www.tenmax.com


=================================
MICROSOFT SERVICE PACK 1 BUG NOTE
=================================

Microsoft's Service Pack 1 contains a bug that can corrupt your system registry if
you use Dial-Up Networking, or if you run applications that access Dial-Up
Networking registry information (as Teleport Pro does).  Microsoft has released a
patch that corrects this bug.  The patch can be found at
     http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/passwd.htm
and SHOULD BE INSTALLED if you have installed Service Pack 1.


========================================
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).

Microsoft has now released the Final Version of Internet Explorer 3.0.  This version
corrects the toolbar bug in Beta 2.  Tennyson Maxwell strongly encourages users who
still have the Beta 2 version to pick up the final version (it is free) on Microsoft's
website.  A link to the proper page can be found on Tennyson Maxwell's home page at
     http://www.tenmax.com


=================================================
INSTALLING OVER PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF TELEPORT PRO
=================================================

No special steps are required.  You do not need to uninstall a previous version
of Teleport Pro if it is already installed on your systems.  Just follow the
instructions for running the SETUP program in INSTALL.TXT.

If you want to keep your original version of Teleport Pro intact, move it to
another directory, or install this version of Teleport Pro in a different
directory.


=========================
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.

Please note that uninstalling Teleport Pro will not delete files that you have
retrieved using the program.


========================
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 200 files per
       project.

For now, registration costs only $39.95 US.  And your registration is valid for all
upgrades to the Teleport Pro product.  This means that your registration number will
work on every upgrade we release.  In fact, if you send us your email address when
you register, we’ll 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.
