 Note the new name : The package is called STinG now, for `ST Internet
 Next Generation'. Thus we're independent from STiK now. At the same time 
 some stupid naming conventions have been changed, for instance the file
 that contains the path to the STinG directory is called STING.INF now.
 
 The package contains Ronald Anderson's new RESOLVE.STX. It does no 
 recursive search by itself yet, it instead relies on the corresponding
 capabilities of modern name servers. It thus may happen that with your
 ISP's name server resolving won't work. A full version that works with 
 all name servers is under way.
 
 The Dialer is working now. I modified ESTABLISH.TXT to contain hints on 
 how to use it. Read that, and only ask back after you've done that ;-) 
 Note there is further info available in some text files in the Dialer
 directory.
 
 TCP is working now, pretty stable actually. There might be still a couple 
 of bugs, but up to now I haven't seen them strike. I've tested quite a 
 few applications, amongst them Boris' Telnet, mgFTP, FracIRC V1.09, CAB,
 and Newsie. They all work fine. Try whichever STiK application you have 
 working on your machine.
 
 To those who have been added recently :
 This is a rewrite of STiK, incorporating many of those fancy ideas that 
 have been developed within this group in the last 10 months. The rewrite 
 is not finished yet, as most notably a resolver is still lacking. Along 
 with some others, I figured a complete rewrite is the only way to get rid 
 of some major restrictions of the old design. This is why this project 
 has been started. The approach is modular, which enables us to spread work 
 on STinG amongst several people. If you want to join, just let me know. 
 To gain a first impression, use ST-Guide (can be found on any major BBS or 
 ftp site) to display STING.HYP, which forms some sort of preliminary 
 documentation. Note that not much is finished yet, so for instance if you 
 prefer to have the docs in a different format, note that I intent to have 
 several formats in the final distribution (HTML being one of them).

xurl240.zip :XURL - The URL eXtractor 
 ------------------------
 XURL (pronounced ZURL) extracts URLs such as http:// from a file and
 adds them to a html document which can be loaded into a browser.
 The URL can then be clicked on and the browser will jump straight to
 the given URL.
 This means that you no longer have to write them down and then re-key 
 them into your browser. XURL makes it easy.
