o=o=o WORLD WIDE WEB PAGES o=o=o›         by Alan Sharkis, Editor›            OHAUG Newsletter›› The World Wide Web  is  a  series  of› sites  on  the  Internet   that   are› capable  of  producing   very   fancy› graphical "pages" for viewing on IBM-› compatibles and  Macs.   These  pages› can  contain  TEXT and GRAPHIC IMAGES› in the form of .gif or .gpeg  files. › They can contain LINKS to other pages› and sites.  They  can  contain  FILES› for  downloading.   They   can   even› contain  AUDIO CLIPS (.wav files) and› FULL-MOTION  VIDEO  in  a  number  of› different formats.›› The   World   Wide  Web  is  accessed› through software called  a  BROWSER. › Your  Internet  Service Provider will› either have the browser on line  when› you  call,  or ship you a copy to run› on your machine.  For  Atari  8-bits,› one  way  to  get onto the World Wide› Web is through Genie.  In order to do› this,  you  need  a  terminal program› capable of 80  columns  of  text  per› line  and  VT-100  emulation.   Genie› runs  LYNX,   which  is  a text-based› browser.  You'll see the text of  the› page,  together  with  references  in› parentheses  wherever  there   is   a› graphic  image  or  a link to another› page.  You can click on some of these› and  download  the image, but that is› very time-consuming.  If you're using› LYNX  through  Genie,  you  can  also› download  files  by clicking on their› references.  The files are downloaded› to  your personal storage space.  You› then download them from  Genie.   The› procedures   for   using   LYNX   are› somewhat complicated.  A demo is much› better than any written description I› can give you.›› The World Wide Web allows you to look› at  Web  pages,  but  also allows you› access   to   some   other,   classic› Internet  services,  such  as FTP and› ARCHIE.  In the  FTP  document,  I've› given  you  an example of how this is› done.›› A Web page is accesed through its URL› (universal  resource  locator.)    If› you're  interested  in  URL's you can› probably see a pattern in  them  that› will  tell  you  where the server for› that page is located and what kind of› institution  it  is  at.  Any book on› the   Internet  will  give  you  more› information about that.  In the URL's› listed  below,  you'll often find the› sequence of characters,  "%7E."   The› tilde,   on  those machines that have› it, can substitute for that  string. › Unfortunately,  our 8-bits don't have› the tilde.›› Below are some WWW  pages  that  I've› tested  recently.   The  name  of the› page is in capitals, and the  URL  is› listed directly below it.  Be careful› when typing  URLs.   They  are  quite› long  (too long to fit on one line in› this newsletter, but type them as one› line)  and  must  be done exactly the› way you see them here.  If they don't› work,  or  if you find links to pages› not listed, please let me know.›››ABBUC›http://rpool1.rus.uni-p1stuttgart.de/%7Einf1492/abbuc/index/h››ANTIC ONLINE PROJECT›1http://www.northcoast.com/savetz/antic/dap.html››A.P.E.HOME PAGE›http://www.nacs.net/%7Eclassics/››ATARI COMMERCIALS›http://intrepid.mcs.kent.edu/%7Eclisowsk/movies››ATARI EMULATION PAGE›http://www.users.fast.net/%7Esmol/8bitemu.html››ATARI EMULATOR FOR UNIX AND AMIGA›http://www.signus.demon.co.uk/david/atari/atari.html››ATARI EMULATOR UTILITIES›http://www.net.link.co.uk/users/helix/atari8›ATARI INTERNET RESOURCES›http://pmwww.cs.nl/home/poorten/Atari.8bit.Homepage/Resources.html››ATARI 8-BIT RESORT›http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/%7EMarek.Tomczyk/8bit.html››ATARI ON THE INTERNET›http://www-und.uda.liu.se/%7Et94pasta/atari.html››ATARI ON THE WEB›http://www.ncc.ac.uk/%7Edlms/atari.html››ATARI SITES/NEWSGROUPS›http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rlink/siteinfo.htm››ATARI XL/XE HOMEPAGE›http://rpool1/rus.uni-stuttgart.de/%7Einf1492/Atari››ATARI XL/XE SYSTEM›http://rzserv2.fh-lueneburg.de:8080/Atari_2››BIG ATARI 8-BIT HOMEPAGE›http://student.uci.agh.edu.pl/%7Etatar/Atari/hp.html››BRANCH ALWAYS SOFTWARE ONLINE MAIN MENU›http://www.halcyon.com/brasoft/››BRITISH UNDERGROUND ATARI 8 BIT›http://intrepid.mcs.kent.edu//%7Eclisowsk/8bit.html››CAPTIAN BLADE'S ATARI BOOKMARKS›http://www.3rdplanet.com:80/%7Estarship.atari.htm››CLASSIC ATARI ONLINE›http://ourworld/compuserve.com/homepages/dschmud/dsatari.htm››HOMEPAGE NYMAN: ATARI 8BIT›http://geocities.com/SiliconValley/2741/8bit.html››INDEX OF ANNATAR›http://cow.pasture.com/%7Eannatar/8bit/››NEW BREED SOFTWARE'S PAGE!›http://zippy.sonoma.edu/%7Ekendrick/nbs/index.html››NIR DARY PAL-NTSC CONVERTER›http://www.pacificnet.net/%7Enirdary/palntsc/palntsc.htm››NWPAC HOMEPAGE›http://www.yab.com/%7Ecoolzip››OTHER ATARI LINKS›http://ace.cs.ohiou.edu/personal/mleair/others/html››RAINBOW EMULATOR PAGE›http://www.cityscape.co.uk/users/jx91.rainbow.html››SOME ATARI 8-BIT STUFF›http://er4www.eng.ohio-state.edu/%7Efunkr/Atari/››THE ALTERNATE REALITY HOME PAGE›http://www.ksk.sola.se/%7Esp93rob/dungeon/››THE BLACK STUMP ATARI PAGE›http://werple.net.au/%7Elions/atari.htm››THE CLOSER TO HOME WEB PAGE›http://brutus.bright.net/%7Etomhunt/››THE INDUSTRIAL STOMP: ATARI›http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dschmud/dsatari.html››UMICH ARCHIVE INFORMATION›http://www.umich.edu/%7Earchive/atari/info››UMICH ARCHIVE 8-BIT›http://www.umich.edu/%7Earchive/atari/8bit››XL-IT HOME PAGE›http://www.htw.uni-sb.de/people/mgietzen/atari/xl-it.html››XFSIO HOME PAGE›http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/1211/xfsio.html››           o=o=o=o=o=o›››
