Hi Lee (and netters)

	I am posting to this thread instead of mailing because I think what
I have to say concerns the entire (313) area code. Plex-1 (and soon to be
Plex-2) will be adding a couple of lines with access from the entire (313)
area code. I was one of the FIRST to offer this when I owned M-Net but it
kind of went by the way side due to a lack of interest because we were al-
ready connected to Merit/Michnet.

	I believe that with our offering Usenet News feeds and on-line News
accounts that the interest may very well exceed my own expectations.
There are systems in the (313) area code that offer accounts in the $20.00
per month line (I believe MSEN is one) but I am thinking more along the lines
of $5.00/month for access to Plex-1 & 2 and NO $$ per connect time. If you are
interested in this project mail me next time you are online.

Minimum is news group reading, but preferable is full access to the

Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1992 02:35:43 GMT

Notice of Upgrade to Hytelnet for the Macintosh.  version 6.2.2

This version will work over a network, and will be able to use
the IBM PC data files.  The numbering system and directory structure are the
same as the PC version.

If you want a copy of this version of Hytelnet please send a note to
Charles Burchill <burchil@ccu.umanitoba.ca>.

The complete set comes as a 560K binhex file so make sure that your
mail package will support mail of this size. It may be available from
access.usask.ca in the near future.  If you only want the HyperCard stack
please make that clear in the letter that you send to me.

Hytelnet comes as a binhex'd self extracting archive: Hytelnet for the
Mac.  You will need about 1.2Mb free hard disk space, HyperCard 2.x.
The archive contains Hytelnet, a hypercard stack that reads the raw
data files from Peter Scotts Hytelnet.  It also contains a 'Hytelnet
data' folder containing many folders with the Hytelnet data files (700+).

Modifications from the last version:
- Finder Events XCMD added to allow the use of some apple event to communicate
  with the finder. This is mainly used to open Telnet and TN3270 without
  having to worry about the name or location of the program.
- Configuration items have been moved to a configuration dialog.
- Using the Configuration settings the Telnet, and TN3270 applications can 
  have other names and be located in a variety of locations, along with the
  configuration files.
- A button has been added that will extract the site files from letters coming
  frmo the LIB_HYTELNET mailing list.  The headers will be stripped and the
  file will be saved in the appropriate folder with the name that occurs
  in the letter. The site names will be saved in a seperate file
  "New Site Names 'current date'". The site name lists are not
   automatically updated.

Binhex'd files may be unarchived using binhex 4.0, Stuffit, Compactor Pro,
Tickler and many other common archiving programs.


                   HYTELNET...... Program Description

HYTELNET is a utility that is designed to assist you in reaching all of the
INTERNET-accessible libraries, Freenets, CWISs,Library BBSs, & other
information sites by Telnet.  It is available for IBM PC, Unix, VMS and 
Macintosh computers.

"Close to" meaning only about an hour on Freeway Hell, yes? Or if
you were like me 10 years ago, living in Batavia Apartments without a
car, you could hike up to Geneva (that's an hour) and take the train
(another hour or so).

And "a beach" meaning slabs of concrete in the vicinity of a
not-particularly-clean lake, yes?

And then there's Batavia. When I moved there, there were 3 hardware
stores and zero bookstores in the town. The *lab* was the cultural
center of the county. Art Exhibits? Go to Fermilab. Movies? Go to
Fermilab. Concerts? Lectures? Go to Fermilab.

And Batavia was so far behind the times, THE FLAG OUTSIDE THE
FIREHOUSE HAD 48 STARS ON IT. Seriously! And it couldn't have been in
use for 30 years; it wasn't faded or frayed or anything -- but it had
48 stars. I still can't figure that one out.

'Course I haven't been back since about 1985. It's probably Paradise

I dunno, to be honest. It's never helped me. I mean, I'm fully aware that I'm
an insecure cynical paranoid (slightly) manic-depressive pessimist, and that
if I actually faced the world with a BrightCheeryPositiveMentalAttitude then
all would be well and extreme happiness would be mine. But I can't, I just
don't seemed to be programmed that way. Pessimistic Cynicism seems like
Realism to me.

Then again, it could be a darker truth - deep down, us insecure cynical
paranoid manic-depressive pessimists actually *enjoy* being this way.
Somewhere in the darker lurking spaces of our twisted psyche is something
that actually generates pleasurable responses from our AngstfulMentalAttitude
in much the same way that Normal[tm] people like pictures of cute babies.

Could all be a load of fetid dingo's kidneys for all I know. But it sounds
plausible.

I have a question that has been angsting me for a while:
Why is it that every time I encounter a Kate Bush fan they automatically
insist that I fall down and worship at the Mighty Temple of Her Kateness
or GetTheHellOut? Is it possible to like her music and not be a KateHead?

There are a few KateHeads here and I can't understand them.

Scares who ? It surely can't scare the smart delta guys who would
dearly love to have an SO with whom they can hold an intelligent
conversation. Doubtless it's the alpha jocks it would scare.
Therefore we must assume that even you lust after these guys,
only to be thwarted (good woody word that - thwarted) by the
bowheads. 

Incidentally, what is a smart(tm) girl. How is that a girl can have
a Phd in astrophysics or molecular-biology yet be unable to grasp
the workings of the internal combustion engine, a system less complex
than your average water molecule. It has always seemed to me that
to understand any area of science you need to be able to understand
systems and it therefore follows that you should be able to
understand any subject which is controlled by a logical system.

And yet, if I had a penny for every smart(tm) girl I've met who
couldn't wire up a plug or set the timer on a VCR I'd have
seventeen pence by now. Ten dimensional super-strings, no problem,
check the oil, no chance.

Am I the only one to observe this apparent contradiction ?

"God," I asks, "what should I do with these strange desires?  Why do I
want to show dignity, restraint, and self-respect?  Why do I have these
urges to pretend that I'm no longer a whining humorless pathetically
self-abusive toad who wants everyone else to take responsibility for the
impossible task of buttressing my self-esteem?  Why do I suddenly want
to prove that I'm not self-obsessed any more?

"Whose judgment do I trust when I've learned that my own is completely
unreliable, and that I won't trust anyone else's when it disagrees with
my own?  What do I do, now that I've found that even absurd amounts of
reassurance aren't nearly enough?  How did I grow a bottomless pit of
insecurity so damn quickly?  Why, when faced with someone's contempt, do
I always forget that I'd already decided on standards completely unlike
that person's and had deliberately laid myself open for that contempt?
Why do

     I argue with Person X and create a Person X voice in my
     head.  I think Person X is a fool, and anyway the Person X
     voice is certainly foolish, because it understands a limited
     subset of what I understand.  But that damned voice's jeering
     makes me wince anyway.

?"

And God says, "Shut up and quit whining.  You have nothing to whine
about anyway."

And I says, "Thanks, God."  And it's all better.  If I find any dignity
sneaking around trying to convince me not to do something that looks
silly, I want to hit it with the shot gun.  And any restraint or
self-respect displayed for anyone else's benefit would just be a put-on
anyway.  And as for the other questions, I'm as much a weenie as ever.
