HYTELNET version 6.3, the utility which gives an IBM-PC user
instant-access to all Internet-accessible library catalogs, FREE-NETS,
CWISs, BBSs, Gophers, WAIS, etc. is now available. You can get it via
anonymous ftp from:

access.usask.ca

in the pub/hytelnet/pc subdirectory. It is listed as HYTELN63.ZIP.

Version 6.3 is a major upgrade. Much redundant information has been
deleted, and errors have been corrected. New subdirectories have been
added, which has meant that many files now have a more meaningful home.
Also all the new/updated files created since Version 6.2 have been
incorporated.

Note: the UNZIPPED files total over 1.2 mb...but remember, you can 
always edit out any information you do not need, in order to save space.

Information from Roy Tennant follows, slightly edited, describing how to
obtain HYTELNET 6.3 from the ftp site (thanks Roy)::

TO RETRIEVE HYTELNET:
At your system prompt, enter:               ftp access.usask.ca 
      or                                    ftp 128.233.3.1
When you receive the Name prompt, enter:    anonymous
When you receive the password prompt, enter your Internet address.
When you are at the ftp> prompt, enter:     binary
At the next ftp> prompt, enter:             cd pub/hytelnet/pc
Then enter:                                 get hyteln63.zip
After the transfer has occurred, either
   proceed with the instructions below to
   retrieve the UNZIP utility (which you
   need unless you already have it) or enter:   quit

The Hytelnet program is archived using a ZIP utility.  To unarchive it,
you must be able to "unzip" the file.  If you have the file PKUNZIP.EXE,
it will unarchive the HYTELN63.ZIP file (see below for instructions). If
you do not have it, you may retrieve it with by following these
instructions:

TO RETRIEVE PKUNZIP:
Use the above instructions for connecting to access.usask.ca  
At the ftp> prompt, enter:                   binary
Then enter:                                  cd pub/hytelnet/pc
Then enter:                                  get pkunzip.exe
After the transfer has occurred, enter:      quit

TO DOWNLOAD IT TO YOUR PC:
Because of the plethora of PC communications programs, I will not
attempt to give step-by-step instructions here.  You should check the
instructions for your software for downloading a *binary* file from your
Internet account to your PC.

TO UNARCHIVE HYTELN63.ZIP:
Make a new directory on your hard disk (e.g., mkdir hytelnet)
Copy PKUNZIP.EXE and HYTELN63.ZIP into the new directory
Make sure you are in that directory, then enter: pkunzip HYTELN63
It will then unarchive HYTELN63.ZIP, which contains the following files:

                             HYTELNET.ZIP
                             READNOW

The file READNOW. gives full instructions for un-archiving HYTELNET.ZIP.
Simply put, you **MUST** unZIP the file with the -d parameter so that
all the subdirectories will be recursed.

To use HYTELNET, you should refer to the instructions in the release 
announcement by Peter Scott, or to the README file included with the 
package.

PLEASE NOTE that I offer the above instructions as a service for those 
who are unfamiliar with the steps required to download and use files 
from network sources.  I cannot be responsible for any local variations 
in these procedures which may exist.  Please contact your local computer 
support staff if you have difficulty performing these tasks.

The UNIX/VMS version, created by Earl Fogel, is available for browsing 
by telnet to access.usask.ca   login with   hytelnet (lower case). For
