*******************************

NOTICE:

This release of TELNET is a test release and not for general
distribution. Hopefully this will be the final beta. Please send
comments and bug reports to, the author, Brad Johnson
<jbj@chrysalis.org> or on the web at http://www.chrysalis.org/jbj.

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 in full screen text mode. I find this very desirable when I
want to concentrate on my telnet session.

Telnet will communicate the number of lines and line width to the host,
and can operate in any (cross my fingers) console mode.

REQUIREMENTS:

This program requires Windows 95 or Windows NT to run. Win32s is not
supported. There are same problems with running under Windows 95: The
paste function does not work correctly. This is a bug in Windows 95's
implementation of the console mode. In other words there is nothing I
can do to fix it :-(. The paste function works correctly under NT.

USAGE:

  TELNET
    Begins telnet and enters telnet> command line.

  TELNET [host [port]]
    Connects to port on host. Port defaults to 23 for TELNET.

  TELNET ?
    Gives usage information.

Pressing ALT-] will break out of a telnet session and return you to the
telnet> prompt. Pressing return will resume your session. Other options
are available from the telnet> prompt. Type ? to get help.

The key definitions are loaded from the file "keys.cfg" in the directory
of the executable. You can override this by specifying the full path and
file name in the environment variable TELNET_CFG.
