Merit Network presents
A Cruise of the Internet
Version 2.01 for Apple Macintosh computers
April 13, 1993
WHAT IS IT?
Merit's "Cruise of the Internet" is a computer-based tutorial for new
as well as experienced Internet "navigators." The Cruise will introduce
you to Internet resources as diverse as supercomputing, minorities,
multimedia, and even cooking. It will also provide information about the
tools needed to access those resources.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
This tutorial will run on any color Macintosh which is capable of
displaying 256 colors. To run the Cruise tutorial you will need:
- A Macintosh II, LC or Quadra series computer
- 8-bit color and any color monitor (12" minimum)
- System 6.05 or 7.x
- Approximately 3 MB of disk space
- 4 MB RAM is recommended
- Internet connectivity and software that does file transfers via FTP.
HOW TO INSTALL IT:
1. Use Fetch to connect to nic.merit.edu (user: anonymous, password: guest,
directory: resources/cruise.mac) and get the files:
merit.cruise2.mac.readme
merit.cruise2.mac.hqx
Alternatively, you can use any other software that does Anonymous FTP,
but you will have to use BinHex, or StuffItLite to convert the .hqx
file to a Mac executable form.
2. Pull down your Apple menu and select CONTROL PANELS.
3. Select MONITORS from your Control Panel.
4. Set your Monitors control panel device to 256 colors. (Note: any other
setting will degrade the performance and display of your tutorial.)
5. If you are running Multifinder or System 7, quit all open applications.
6. Run the tutorial from the copy on your hard drive by double-clicking on
the projector icon labeled "Merit's Cruise 2.01."
Note: If you do not have Internet connectivity from your Mac, you may
still be able to acquire the Cruise. Talk to your local support staff
to determine if other machines on your campus have FTP capabilities and
a way to transfer files to your Mac. Or, send your name and address,
specify that you want the Mac version (1.44MB HD diskette only), and
include a check or money order for $10.00US (payable to "University of
Michigan") or your VISA/MasterCard number (including the expiration date
and your signature) to:
