Internet Set v4.0 ************************* 23rd July 1996 Note to users of Net-Set v3.1 "SORRY GUYS" I forgot to mention it was a bit buggy (hense the .1) but thanks for your E-Mail telling me as I also found out some new bits that have been corrected in version 4.0. It's hard to predict every type of Modem and Amiga setup, but I have tried. This was bodged by Kevin Anderson andersok@mail.bogo.co.uk Please feel free to give me a Darn Good Rollocking. The point of this set is to provide an easy entry for new Net surfers and people like me who want to get on with the minimum of fuss and no need for a degree in Unix etc. This set does not include an IRC client but you can get one from Aminet once your up and running as well as changing the supplied App's if need be when you are happy and confident. AmIRC, mFTP, mNews and MetaTool are all good App's available from Aminet. Read plenty of Amiga mag's for more info and reviews etc. Recommended Requirements:- (you are free to try it on a lower spec) -------------------------- ***** NOTE ***** The real world bare minimum for decent Net access and usage is an A1200 with 2mb Fast ram (4mb in total) but you can use lower spec's but don't expect to use the top App's, fast modem speeds and see Web pages in all their glory. A MODEM "yes a modem or you could shout very load" (28.8 or 14.4) OS 3.0 or above (OS 2.04 is the bare minimum any lower forget it) 2mb ram minimum (4mb highly recomemded) Hard drive (about 3mb free) IF floppy only "HARD LUCK you dinosaur" 020 CPU or above (on lower machines, should work but slow) MUI 3.3 (on Aminet and all good PD houses) Gif and Jpeg datatypes OS 3.x only (included in this set if you need them) A dialup Internet account ("DERRRR!!! realy") **** YOU MUST HAVE ARexx ON YOU SYSTEM as this system relies on it. **** (i.e. look in your Workbench:System drawer and see if RexxMast is there if not put it there or this won't work. It comes as standard with OS 2.04 and above) If you have lower all I can say is "well I warned you, you dinosaur" Whats in it then:- 1) AmiTCP-4.0 demo (Not time limited or restricted etc) 2) Voyager v1.0 Freeware (Web Browser/News reader) (Amiga Web,News,and Aminet FTP sites all setup for you) 3) AirMail Shareware (E-Mail) 4) AmFTP Shareware (FTP and Archie) 5) Bogomip Amiga Dashboard (GUI interface) Freeware by me! (for dialing Bogomip and launching net applications etc) 7) UUdecoder/encoder (for News group binaries etc) 8) FastView (Graphic file viewer `very fast') 9) ZGif and jfif datatypes (OS 3.x only) 10) Extensive and easy documentation and help files. 11) Plus lha and lzx archivers and ppMore text viewer 12) Most App's etc pre-set to work out of the box in the true Amiga fashion (E-Mail needs your userID) with no need to answer loads of cryptic questions and edit Startup-Sequences with various assigns etc. 13) No Script editing unless you've got an manky old Amiga (i.e. std A500) or some realy strange setup. If so "Not my fault Matey". Installation:- If you got this on a disk follow steps 1) - 3). If you got this in one archive from say Aminet, go to step 3) 1) Drag the Bogomip.install Icon to a drawer on your hard drive (best to make a new one somewhere) Do Not Drag To Ram as you will need to reboot your Amiga during the installation. 2) Now double click the "Bogomip.install" Icon and let it do it's stuff. (when finished you should see: files extracted ok) 3) Now double click the Install.readme Icon for further instructions. (if you can't see any new Icons etc just choose Update) READ IT WELL and all will go with a swing (if you open it with Multiview or a text editor etc you can print it out "Well if you got a printer"). Any way good luck and have fun. kevin.
