                   Teleport Pro Version 1.28 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 1.25
===================

These are just some of the exciting new features implemented in version 1.25--

	NEW: Built-in scheduler!  You can now set up Teleport Pro to run projects
       whenever you like, using a convenient built-in scheduler.  The new
       Teleport Pro Scheduler handles multiple projects, running either
       sequentially or in parallel, and can manage connection conflicts --
       it can even run projects on separate connections!
	NEW: Command-line switches improve project automation:  specify run,
       update, relink, autoconnect, autodisconnect, and autoexit as command-
       line parameters.
	NEW: New Start button behavior automatically queues BOTH new and old
       (already retrieved) files when pressed.  New files are retrieved first,
       then old files are automatically scanned for updates.
  NEW: Improved parser leniency:  handles more common HTML authoring mistakes,
       finds more links than before.
  NEW: Improved forms exploration -- now can navigate through POST forms.


=======================================
SPECIAL NOTE:  NEW FILE UPDATING SYSTEM
=======================================

Probably the most noticeable change (as of Version 1.25), is that Teleport no
longer has separate Start and Refresh buttons.  Both functions have been
incorporated into a single Start button.

When you now Start a project, Teleport will scan the project database looking
for files that match your retrieval specifications, but which have never
before been received.  If it finds any such files, it queues them for
retrieval.  And if Teleport find files that were previously retrieved, but
are possibly out-of-date, its queues those for updating -- all in the same
session.

When updating, Teleport gets files only if the remote server says that they
have changed, since the last time Teleport retrieved the file.

To give you more flexibility, Teleport uses additional rules for determining
when to update files.  The new Update settings can be found on the Project
Properties, Exploration page.


============================
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



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