>> Folks:
>>
>> This is an announcement of Beta Release 0.1 of Cello, a multipurpose
>> Net browser for Microsoft Windows 3.1
>>
>> Features:
>>
>> --WWW(HTTP/HTML) browser, with user-configurable colors
>> and fonts.
>> --Full-featured Gopher (though unfortunately not yet Gopher+)
>> client, including a hyper-ized CSO which permits (sorta dumb)
>> SMTP mailing.
>> --Transparent access (via WWW) to FTP, HyTelNet, Telnet, etc.
>> etc. ad infinitum.
>> --Graphics and PostScript viewing and sound playing via
>> MSWindows Associations...feature, using add-on, shareware
>> viewers such as SNDTOOL, GV057, and the Windows version of
>> GhostScript.
>> --Ad-hoc Telnet, FTP, and Gopher sessions.
>> --SLIP/PPP support with dialup scripting language.
>> --Supports wide range of LAN configurations via Distinct
>> TCP/IP runtime stack.
>>
>> Things you should know:
>>
>> -- Hardware:
>> Cello needs a Windows 3.1-capable machine with enhanced mode
>> and (preferably) swapping enabled. It is hungry for extended RAM.
>>
>> -- Software:
>> Cello depends (for now...we're working on a Winsock version) on the
>> Distinct TCP/IP runtime stack. The LII has licensed the use of a
>> runtime version of this software for use by US academic institutions
>> for a period of one year, starting June 1, after which we will
>> renegotiate the license. Commercial organizations and non-academic
>> users are strongly urged to contact Distinct directly at
>> mktg.distinct.com.
>>
>> The Distinct software adds enormous functionality to the package,
>> including SLIP/PPP support with scripting, and configuration for
>> many types of LAN and networking layers.
>> We are working on a Winsock version which will be available
>> without restriction later this summer.
>>
>> --How to get it:
>>
>> FTP to fatty.law.cornell.edu, the /pub/LII/Cello subdirectory. The
>> distribution is in multiple files. At a minimum, you will need
>>
>> README.1ST, which contains unpacking instructions.
>> CELLO.ZIP, which contains the executable and Help application
>> DIS.ZIP, which contains the runtime stack.
>>
>> Optionally, you should also get:
>>
>> VIEWERS.ZIP, which contains a graphics viewer and sound player for
>> use with Cello.
>>
>> GSWIN.ZIP, which contains the Windows version of GhostScript.
>>
>> PLEASE NOTE that fatty is but an humble little Sparc and you can
>> bring it to its knees fairly easily, so if you have another source for
>> the GhostScript stuff please spare me and everyone else by going to
>> the alternate source; the file is 2+ MB.
>>
>> Installation:
>>
>> Installation is performed by following the instructions in
>> README.1ST, then using the online help. Additional support is
>> available from a listserv list called appropriately enough CELLO-L.
>> To subscribe, send a message to listserv@fatty.law.cornell.edu with
>> the one-liner:
>>
>> sub cello-l your full name
>>
>> in the body of the message. cello-l is watched by the developer and
>> by a few folks who graciously assisted in alpha testing and who
>> know more about the software's treacherous behavior than its
>> author; the listowner is Will Sadler at Indiana University Law School.
>> We are also working on an archive of installation hints and tricks.
>> Please try to take it easy on comp.infosystems.www; Tim already has
>> too much to deal with (grin).

>> The Legal Information Institute, operating under the auspices of the
