- RELEASE NOTES:
- --------------
-
-This release of TELNET is a beta one. This means that it is working as far
-as it is tested, and has a few bugs. Hopefully this will be a stable
-version. Please send comments and bug reports to me at
-pbranna@clemson.edu, or to the mailing list (see below). See file
-CHANGES.TXT for a detailed log of changes. See file BUGS.TXT for known
-bugs.
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- ------------
-
-This is a telnet client with full color ANSI support for Windows NT/95
-console. You can use this program from the Win95 command line (MsDos) and
-run it in full screen text mode. You may also redirect the telnet session
-to STDIN and STDOUT for use with other programs. Telnet will communicate
-the number of lines and rows to the host, and can operate in any console
-mode. Most of it's options are customizable.

-
- HOW TO HELP:
- ------------
-
-Telnet is a free project made from volunteers. If you know C/C++ and would
-like to help in the development you are welcome :-) Just contact
-pbranna@clemson.edu, and/or subscribe to the mailing list. Check
-ftp://argeas.cs-net.gr/Telnet-Win32/devel for a recent alpha version.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
-Just copy telnet.exe, telnet.ico, telnet.ini and keys.cfg to a directory.
-I prefer a directory included in the PATH (such as C:\WINDOWS, but this will
-overwrite the telnet that comes with Windows -- which is not necessarily a
-bad thing). If you are upgrading from a previous version please look below
-(Key file definitions) : the keys.cfg file has changed a bit. Also look at
-the Configuration section below, TELNET now has a ini file.
-
- USAGE:
- -------
-
- TELNET
- Begins telnet and enters telnet> command line.
-
- TELNET [params][host [port]]
- Connects to port on host. Port defaults to 23 for TELNET.
-
- params -d FILENAME.EXT Dumps all incoming data to FILENAME.EXT
- Note lowercase 'd'.
- --variable=value Overrides ini variable to be set to value.
-
- host Host name or IP to connect to
- port Service port to open connection on
- (default is telnet port 23).
-
- TELNET -?
- Gives usage information.
-
-Pressing the escape key (default ALT-]) will break out of a telnet session and
-return you to the telnet> prompt. Pressing return will resume your session.
-All the options are available from the telnet> prompt. Type ? to get help.
-
-Pressing the scrollback key (default ALT-[) will give you a basic scrollback
-view. Pressing ESC will resume your session.
-
- BUGS:
- -----
-
-There are :-). Hopefully this version is more stable than the previous. See
-BUGS.TXT, and grep for FIX ME's in the sources. Any help ?
-
- NOTES:
- ------
-
-If the environment variable LANG has a valid value (e.g. LANG=de for German
-characters) and the file LOCALE.DLL is installed somewhere along the PATH
-TELNET will not ignore local characters.
-
-If you have problems with paste under Win 95 try unchecking the fast paste
-option in the MsDos properties. The paste function works correctly under NT.
-This is a Microsoft bug :-)
-
- CONFIGURATION
- -------------
-
-The configuration is made through telnet.ini and keys.cfg. These files (at
-least telnet.ini) must be in the same directory which telnet.exe is. The
-basic options are loaded from the file telnet.ini. If you are having problems
-with a terminal setting, check the file OPTIONS.TXT for configuration
-information.
-
-
-Key file definitions (telnet.cfg)
--------------------------------
-
-Use the key file (telnet.cfg) to define the characters that telnet is sending
-to the host. From version 2b5 you can configure the output keys (KEYMAP
-sections), the input character translations (CHARMAP sections) and you can
-combine all to as many configurations as you like (CONFIG sections). You
-can also have alternative keymaps in a configuration, and keys to switch
-between them. See the comments in keys.cfg for details.
-
-NOTE: if you are upgrading from a previous version you must put your old keys
-in the KEYMAP sections.
-Please send any national specific keymaps / charmaps / configurations to be
-included to the next version.
-
-
- HOW TO COMPILE IT
- -------------------
-
-Telnet compiles with a variety of compilers. You will need at least
-Borland 4.x or newer compiler, or MSVC 2.0 or newer, or download a version
-of gcc for Win32 (see http://www.musc.edu/~brannanp/telnet/gccwin32.html).
-Copy the files from the directories BORLAND or MSVC to the main directory,
-change them to fit to your system, and recompile. The project comes with
-IDE files and makefiles.
-
-Follow the instructions for your compiler to compile telnet. A Makefile
-for use with mingw32 or other gcc variants has been included, so if you have
-gcc, you can just type "make" at the command line.
-
- SPECIAL THANKS:

-know!) if I have forgotten anyone. We all thank them :-)
