10 February 1996

The service provided by the Web Organisation at telnet.w3.org was discontinued at the end of January 1996 after many years of operation. (RIP telnet.w3.org.)
It took me a week of hunting to find another site with a Psion-compatible Web Browser. 
This version of WebCIS now uses the browser at info.cern.ch, which luckily runs the same type of Web Browser, saving a big rewrite of the scripts <phew!>.
Please read this file to note all changes.
Incidently, during my hunt for a new browser, I found out that the correct name for the browser that WebCIS connects to is NOT Lynx, but rather the "W3C Line Mode Browser", or LMB for short. Lynx is a different browser that runs on vt100 terminals. The documentation has been changed accordingly.

Full upgrade: To upgrade from an earlier version of WebCIS to version 1.1.3...

A) Delete the file \APP\READCIS\Quit.sco if found (It is no longer required). Note that if you had already upgraded to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2, then Quit.sco will already have been deleted.
Be careful not to delete any other files.

B) Copy all the files in this archive, except the two .TXT files, into your \APP\READCIS\ directory. If unzipping on the Psion 3a, select the replace [A]ll option. If copying from a computer to the Psion 3a, select the "Overwrite all" option when prompted.
 
C) Delete the switch LYNX30.ON if it exists. This switch is no longer used.

 
Econonmy upgrade: To do an "economy" upgrade (useful if you wish to save flash disk space) from WebCIS 1.1.0 (or later) to 1.1.3...

     \APP\READCIS\Go_url.sco (optional)

Note that the changes to Go_url.sco are only the inclusion of more Web sites in the menus, you do not need to update Go_url.sco if you do not want to.
Be careful not to delete any other files.

     Webctrl.sco
