Notes on Htget
--------------

Htget is a simple command-line HTTP retriever.  This program is useful for
getting other people's HTML files to use as examples if you're trying to
start your own Web site.  Marc Williams also reported at least one occasion
where Bobcat was unable to retrieve a Web page but Htget could.  This new
version displays the progress of the download with the -v option.

Note that Htget is just a retriever.  To view the HTML file, you will need a
WWW browser such as Bobcat, Doslynx, or Arachne, or an HTML viewer such as
Knots.  Htget also does not translate end-of-line sequences of files
downloaded from Unix hosts.  There are various programs around to do that;
check any large archive.

Htget is a WATTCP application, so to get it to run you have to edit
WATTCP.CFG.  If you have already set up WATTCP.CFG for another application,
you can use that; the WATTCP.CFG for Htget can consist of a single line:

   include=e:\internet\wattcp.cfg

(Mutatis mutandis, of course.)

Otherwise, if you have static IP, set MY_IP to your IP address:

   MY_IP=204.117.9.33

If you have dynamic IP, comment out that line and put this instead:

   INCLUDE=E:\INTERNET\IPADDR.CFG

You will need to create IPADDR.CFG at connect time and give its full
pathname here; see the README file in my Internet directory.

Set NETMASK like this (note:  do *not* use your real netmask):

   NETMASK=0.0.0.0

Set NAMESERVER to your nameserver's IP address:

   NAMESERVER=199.191.1.80

If you have a static gateway, give its IP address:

   GATEWAY=199.191.1.70

Otherwise, if your gateway is dynamic (you get a different gateway each time
you call), either give the gateway you *usually* get, or comment out the
GATEWAY line and put this instead:

   INCLUDE=E:\INTERNET\GATEWAY.CFG

As above, you will need to create GATEWAY.CFG at connect time and give its
pathname here; see my README.

If you have static IP, you can fill in your HOSTNAME:

   HOSTNAME=mypc.foo.bar.net

If you have dynamic IP, comment out the HOSTNAME line.

Set DOMAINSLIST to the empty string, i.e.,

  DOMAINSLIST = ""

It might be a good idea to increase SOCKDELAY, especially if you have a slow
modem.  I have:

  SOCKDELAY = 90

After you get WATTCP.CFG set up, comment out the PRINT line.
