Hyperwave Publishing Wizard Version 1.0 Beta-1
            ==============================================

                           February 28, 1997


What is this?
-------------

The Hyperwave Publishing Wizard (HPW) is a tool designed to make the 
process of publishing documents to a Hyperwave server as simple as 
possible. It is compatible with Microsoft’s WebPost API and plugs into 
Microsoft’s Web Publishing Wizard, which means that you can publish 
documents directly from most new Microsoft programs. You can also upload 
whole directory trees that you have prepared on your local disk to a 
Hyperwave server with just a few mouse clicks!


Where do I get it?
------------------

The software is available from

           ftp://ftp.hyperwave.com/pub/HyperWave/Tools/HPW

(this is in sunny California) and the mirror servers listed at

                http://www.iicm.edu/hyperwave/mirrors


How do I install it?
--------------------

In order to use HPW, you must have:

- Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0
- TCP/IP properly set up
- Microsoft’s Web Publishing Wizard (WPW)

The WPW is bundled with many Microsoft products (including Office97, 
FrontPage, Publisher, and Creative Writer). You can also get it free 
from the Internet (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/webpost). 
For your convenience, it is also available from where you got this 
file, under the name WEBPOST.EXE. 

You should install the WPW (just execute WEBPOST.EXE) - unless you 
have it already - before or after you install the HPW by executing 
HPW.EXE.


How do I use it?
----------------

After successful installation, the WPW inserts itself into the "send 
to" popup menu of the Explorer (hold down the right mouse button on a 
file or directory). When you select "send to/Web Publishing Wizard" 
you are guided through the process of uploading files/directories to a 
server on the Internet. After installation of the HPW, you will see a 
menu item "Hyperwave Server" listed under the "new" button on the 
third screen of the wizard. This invokes the Hyperwave Publishing 
Wizard. The remaining stages should be self-explanatory.

You may also invoke the wizard by dragging the file or directory to be 
published onto the WPW icon (after you have placed it on your 
desktop), if you prefer. Also, some programs (like FrontPage) 
explicitly offer a "publish" button, so that you can upload documents 
directly from the program.

Hint: The Wizard remembers settings from previous upload sessions, so 
that you can proceed more quickly through later uploads. To fully 
utilize this feature, you should use symbolic names ("meeting 
announcements") for different places and settings in your server, 
rather than physical host names as Web server names.


Release Notes
-------------

This is the first beta release of the HPW. The following are known 
bugs/shortcomings which will be fixed in forthcoming versions:

- It is available in English only. Moreover, all uploaded documents 
  are inserted as English documents (even if they are really in some 
  other language). This may affect results of fulltext searches.
- It sometimes does not correctly recognize MIME types of the 
  documents uploaded.
- There should be the possibility to set all kinds of attributes for 
  the uploaded objects.
