HERE 1.0 Beta 5 DESCRIPTION Here is a freeware program that allows you to easily post your ever-changing dynamic PPP or SLIP Internet address to a finger account, thereby allowing others to look up your current Internet address and contact you. Here also includes a finger client to allow you to easily check the PPP or SLIP address postings of other Here users. Since other users will now be able to locate your current address, you will be able to use talk servers such as WinTalk; FTP servers such as WinQV/Net, Serv-U, and WFTPD; and HTTP servers such as HTTPD and ZB Server. MINIMUM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Here is available in two compilations, one for Win16 and one for Win32. Both compilations require an IBM compatible PC with a 386+ microprocessor and Winsock 1.1+. The Win16 version requires Windows 3.1+ and the Win32 version requires Windows 95, NT, or 3.1 with Win32s.
