- README file for the Internet Tutorial Stacks v1.3
-
- These stacks were written to provide a general introduction to the Internet
- tools: FTP (file transfer protocol); Telnet (remote connection protocol);
- and World Wide Web browsers. The Internet Tutorials stack provides a common
- starting point for all the stacks.
-
- The final stack, Internet Hunt, is a beginners version of the Internet Hunt.
- It has questions that will streach a beginner's ability to use the tools
- described in the other stacks.
-
- These stacks will run with Hypercard 2.1 or greater, or the Hypercard Player.
- To reach the help screen, start a stack (except the Internet Hunt) and click
- the help icon in the lower right. For the Internet Hunt stack, start the
- stack and read the information on the General Information card.
-
- The internet tools each stack refers to (Fetch, MacWeb, Mosaic, and NCSA
- Telnet) will not run on your machine without MacTCP, from Apple, or a similar
- TCP/IP stack program. This isn't a Hypercard stack! TCP/IP stacks are protocol
- programs that allow your computer to use the TCP/IP communication protocols
- to communicate over the internet. MacTCP is available from Apple. I don't
- know of any other TCP/IP stacks currently available.
-
- These stacks are copyrighted ©1994, but are freeware — you may distribute it
- to anyone, in any format, as long as you do not charge for the stack and as
- long as the message at the end of each stack is kept intact. Feel free to
- change, modify, alter, or extract from any stack, as long as you give me
- credit for what you use.
-

- for more information, contact Matthew C. Miller. (address below)
-
- Thank you to Stan Smith for inspiration, Bruce Carter for enthusiasm and
- technical expertise, Skip Knox for motivation, Jennifer Bedient for the
- voice of Miss Manners, and Boise State University for the technology to
- create it.
