Folks:
This is an announcement of an alpha WINSOCK version of Cello, the
multipurpose Internet browser for Microsoft Windows developed by the
Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School.
This version is announced as alpha primarily because we lack the means
to test it with all -- or even most -- of the common WINSOCK
implementations, and are relying on the community to assist us in
uncovering those nasty bugs. Features and all but the networking code
are identical with beta v0.7 of the Distinct-based release.
The release is available for anonymous FTP from fatty.law.cornell.edu,
in the /pub/LII/Cello/winsock_alpha directory.
For those not familiar with Cello:
Cello is a multipurpose Internet browser which directly supports WWW,
Gopher, FTP, Telnet, CSO/ph/qi and Usenet news. Through public
gateways it accesses resources available through WAIS, HyTelnet, and
other Internet protocols. Cello supports post-processing of any
retrieved file through the Windows ..Associate... mechanism, and thus
can display graphics, PostScript, MPEG movies, and play sounds
provided that you have the appropriate viewer/player applications
installed on your client system. Inline graphics are not yet
supported, but will be soon.
For those not familiar with the Legal Information Institute:
The LII is a research group at the Cornell Law School working on the
distribution of legal information by various means, including PC-based
hypertext and various Internet distribution schemes. We make core
legal texts available to students, practitioners, and academics on
disk in the Folio Views format, as well as Internet versions found on
our servers at Cornell. For information about the LII and its various
products, write lii@fatty.law.cornell.edu
Regards,
Tb.
