INTRODUCTION

     With this book, you will be able to use the Information Superhighway to:

     = Stay in touch with friends, relatives and colleagues around the

       world, at a fraction of the cost of phone calls or even air

       mail.

     = Discuss everything from archaeology to zoology with people from

       around the world.

     = Tap into hundreds of information databases and libraries

       worldwide.

     = Retrieve any of thousands of documents, journals, books and

       computer programs.

     = Stay up to date with wire-service news and sports, and

       government weather reports.

     = Play live, "real time" games with dozens of other people at once.

For purposes of this book, you might want to think of the Information SuperHighway as a new technical combination of Telephone, Computers, soon Cable TV, all rolled up into a new kind of communications.  There are currently about 30 million people connected to the Internet and its growing at a rate of about 10% per month.  Thats another 3 million people or so joining it EACH MONTH.

THE INTER-ACTIVE YELLOW PAGES

The Inter-Active Yellow Pages is an excellent example of the use of the Information Superhighway.  It can be found in the same place, hopefully, that you found this VERBON, about the Information Superhighway.  The File Name will be something like Yellow1.Zip or Yellow2.zip or Yellow3.zip .  Since we update monthly, the latest number will be the latest monthly version of the Program.  You can get a copy of the InterActive Yellow Pages with paid listings of companies with something special to offer you, by going to Compuserve:  Winshare Forum, Lib 10, (Gen Win Apps), retrieve the file, YELLOWSX.ZIP x=latest version.

Also, find the OnLine version by going Downtown Anywhere:  by Lynx or Mosaic: HTTP://www.awa.com, or pick it up on America Online and soon, the E-World Online Service for the Macintosh Version.  Someday, anybody whos anybody will have a listing in the INTERACTIVE YELLOW PAGES.

The InterActive Yellow Pages is a Directory of many thousands of E-mail address and non-InterNet addresses of companys who want your business.  You can use this publication to research any topic from Travel to Health or Computer Upgrades.  It is in the same format as this Electronic Book or VERBON, so you can find things very fast electronically by keeping the VERBON active on your Windows Desktop.  Requires any version of Microsoft Windows to run.

Any company interested in the most modern and effective way to advertise should also look for this publication and call us to add your listing.  Fees are nominal.  To advertise either here in future versions of ROADMAP TO THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY or THE INTERACTIVE YELLOW PAGES.  --  Call (408) 423-8580.


VERBONS IS NEW WORD FOR ELECTRONIC BOOK
VERBON  IS A NEW WORD FOR ELECTRONIC BOOK

WE define any electronic book or reference or magazine with any kind of InterActivity or input from the user as a Verbon.  Websters dictionary has yet to add this word to their publication.  As Verbons become more and more popular, they will do so.

HOW TO BEGIN

Dial Ups

The Mosaic is a reader program that takes you anywhere on the World Wide Web and allows you to see the text as well as any graphics that have been posted by people anywhere.  Look for a Mosaic Reader available on Compuserve and many other places for you to use.

               FTP: File-transfer protocol -- access to scores of file

               libraries (everything from computer software to historical

               documents to song lyrics).  You'll be able to transfer

               these files from the Net to your own computer.

               Telnet: Access to databases, computerized library card

               catalogs, weather reports and other information services,

               as well as live, online games that let you compete with

               players from around the world.

     Additional services that may be offered include:

                WAIS:  Wide-area Information Server; a program that

                can search dozens of databases in one search.

                Gopher:  A program that gives you easy access to dozens

                of other online databases and services by making

                selections on a menu. You'll also be able to use these

                to copy text files and some programs to your mailbox.

                IRC:  Internet Relay Chat, a CB simulator that lets

                you have live keyboard chats with people around the

                world.

                Clarinet:  News, sports, feature stories and columns

                from Universal Press International; Newsbytes computer

                news.

     However, even on systems that do not provide these services

directly, you will be able to use a number of them through telnet (see

the TELNET chapter for more information on telnet).   Systems marked "Unix"  dump you right into Unix (a.k.a. "DOS with a college degree").

In most cases, this means you can also use the host system's various

Unix functions.  The other systems use menus, which are generally much easier for beginners to navigate -- they are just like menus in

restaurants, in which you decide what you want from a list of options.

Any unique features of a given system are noted. Some of these systems require you to use parameters of 7-1-E, so if you get gibberish when you connect, try that. Most let you look around for awhile before you have to sign up.

     Several of these sites are available nationwide through national

data networks such as the CompuServe Packet Network and PC-Pursuit.

     If you don't live in a city with a public-access site, you'll

still be able to connect to the Net.  Several of these services offer

access through national data networks such as the CompuServe Packet

Network and PC-Pursuit, which have dozens, even hundreds of local

dial-in numbers across the country.  These include Holonet in

Berkeley, Calf., Portal in Cupertino, Calf., the WELL in Sausalito,

Calf., Dial 'N CERF in San Diego, Calf., the World in Brookline,

Mass., and Michnet in Ann Arbor, Mich.  Dial 'N CERF offers access

through an 800 number.  Expect to pay from $2 to $12 an hour to use

these networks, above each provider's basic charges.  The exact amount

depends on the network, time of day and type of modem you use.  For

more information, contact the above services.

     Two other providers deliver Net access to users across the

country:

     Delphi, based in Cambridge, Mass., is a consumer-oriented network

much like CompuServe or America On-Line -- only it now offers

subscribers access to Internet services.

     Charges: $3 a month for Internet access, in addition to standard

charges.  These are $10 a month for four hours of off-peak (non-working hours) access a month and $4 an hour for each additional hour or $20 for 20 hours of access a month and $1.80 an hour for each additional hour.

For more information, call (800) 695-4005.

     PSI, based in Reston, Va., provides nationwide access to Internet

services through scores of local dial-in numbers to owners of IBM and

compatible computers.  PSILink. which includes access to e-mail,

Usenet and ftp, costs $29 a month, plus a one-time $19 registration

fee.  Special software is required, but is available free from PSI.

PSI's Global Dialup Service provides access to telnet for $39 a month

plus a one-time $39 set-up fee.  For more information, call (800)

82PSI82 or (703) 620-6651.

Peter Kaminski maintains a list of systems that provide public access to

Internet services.  It's availble on the network itself, which obviously

does you little good if you currently have no access, but which can

prove invaluable should you move or want to find a new system.  Look for his "PDIAL" file in the alt.bbs.lists or news.answers newsgroups in

Usenet (for information on accessing Usenet, (CLICK HERE TO see the USENET

the BLESSING

          "As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything in

     this world is connected by a series of ties.  If anyone thinks

     that the mesh of a net is an independent, isolated thing, he is

     mistaken.  It is called a net because it is made up of a series

     of interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its place and

     responsibility in relation to other meshes."

                                                          -- Buddha


HOW TO KEEP THE MAIL MOVING

--------------------

KILLFILES

     As you keep reading Usenet, you are going to run across things or

people that really drive you nuts -- or that you just get tired of

seeing.

     Killfiles are just the thing for you. When you start your

newsreader, it checks to see if you have any lists of words, phrases

or names you don't want to see.  If you do, then it blanks out any

messages containing those words.

     Such as cascades.

     As you saw earlier, when you post a reply to a message and

include parts of that message, the original lines show up with a > in

front of them.  Well, what if you reply to a reply?  Then you get a >>

in front of the line.  And if you reply to that reply? You get >>>.

Keep this up, and soon you get a triangle of >'s building up in your

message.

     There are people who like building up these triangles, or

cascades.  They'll "respond" to your message by deleting everything

you've said, leaving only the "In message 123435, you said:" part and

the last line of your message, to which they add a nonsensical

retort.  On and on they go until the triangle has reached the right

end of the page. Then they try to expand the triangle by deleting one

> with each new line. Whoever gets to finish this mega-triangle wins.

     There is even a newsgroup just for such folks: alt.cascade.

Unfortunately, cascaders would generally rather cascade in other

newsgroups. Because it takes a lot of messages to build up a completed

cascade, the targeted newsgroup soon fills up with these messages. Of

course, if you complain, you'll be bombarded with messages about the

First Amendment and artistic expression -- or worse, with another

cascade. The only thing you can do is ignore them, by setting up a

killfile.

     There are also certain newsgroups where killfiles will come in

handy because of the way they are organized.  For example, readers of

rec.arts.tv.soaps always use an acronym in their subject: line for

the show they're writing about (AMC, for example, for "All My

Children").  This way, people who only want to read about "One Life to Live" can blank out all the messages about "The Young and the

Restless" and all the others (to keep people from accidentally

screening out messages that might contain the letters "gh" in them,

"General Hospital" viewers always use "gh:" in their subject lines).

      Both nn and rn let you create killfiles, but in different ways.

     To create a killfile in nn, go into the newsgroup with the

offending messages and type a capital K.  You'll see this at the

bottom of your screen:

               AUTO (k)ill or (s)elect (CR => Kill subject 30 days)

If you hit return, nn will ask you which article's subject you're

tired of. Chose one and the article and any follow-ups will disappear,

and you won't see them again for 30 days.

     If you type a lower-case k instead, you'll get this:

               AUTO KILL on (s)ubject or (n)ame  (s)

If you hit your S key or just enter,  you'll see this:

               KILL Subject: (=/)

Type in the name of the offending word or phrase and hit enter.

You'll then be prompted:

               KILL in (g)roup 'eff.test' or in (a)ll groups  (g)

except that the name of the group you see will be the one you're

actually in at the moment.  Because cascaders and other annoying

people often cross-post their messages to a wide range of newsgroups,

you might consider hitting a instead of g.  Next comes:

               Lifetime of entry in days (p)ermanent  (30)

The P key will screen out the offending articles forever, while

hitting enter will do it for 30 days.  You can also type in a number

of days for the blocking.

     Creating killfiles in rn works differently -- its default

killfile generator only works for messages in specific groups, rather

than globally for your entire newsgroup list.  To create a global

killfile, you'll have to write one yourself.

     To create a killfile in rn, go into the newsgroup where the

offending messages are and type in its number so you get it on your

screen. Type a capital K.  From now on, any message with that subject

line will disappear before you read the group. You should probably

choose a reply, rather than the original message, so that you will get

all of the followups (the original message won't have a "Re: " in its

subject line). The next time you call up that newsgroup, rn will tell

you it's killing messages. When it's done, hit the space bar to go

back into reading mode.

     To create a "global" kill file that will automatically wipe out

articles in all groups you read, start rn and type control-K.  This

will start your whatever text editor you have as your default on your

host system and create a file (called KILL, in your News

subdirectory).

     On the first line, you'll type in the word, phrase or name you

don't want to see, followed by commands that tell rn whether to search

an entire message for the word or name and then what to do when it

finds it.

     Each line must be in this form

               /pattern/modifier:j

     "Pattern" is the word or phrase you want rn to look for.  It's

case-insensitive: both "test" and "Test" will be knocked out.  The

modifier tells rn whether to limit its search to message headers

(which can be useful when the object is to never see messages from a

particular person):

               a:    Looks through an entire message

               h:    Looks just at the header

     You can leave out the modifier command, in which case rn will

only look at the subject line of messages. The "j" at the end tells rn

to screen out all articles with the offending word.

     So if you never want to see the word "foo" in any header, ever again, type this:

                /foo/h:j

     This is particularly useful for getting rid of articles from

people who post in more than one newsgroup, such as cascaders, since

an article's newsgroup name is always in the header.

     If you just want to block messages with a subject line about

cascades, you could try:

                 /foo/:j

  To kill anything that is a followup to any article, use this

pattern:

                 /Subject: *Re:/:j

When done writing lines for each phrase to screen, exit the text

editor as you normally would, and you'll be put back in rn.

     One word of caution: go easy on the global killfile.  An

extensive global killfile, or one that makes frequent use of the a:

modifier can dramatically slow down rn, since the system will now have to look at every single word in every single message in all the

newsgroups you want to read.

    If there's a particular person whose posts you never want to see

again, first find his or address (which will be in the "from:" line of

his postings) and then write a line in your killfile like this:

                  /From: *name@address\.all/h:j

HOW TO HANDLE NEWSGROUPS

Newsgroups are groups of thousands of people interested in the same subject.  You can learn lots from them.  The way to handle them is to remember first that if you join more than one you are going to get tons of mail because every message from each of the thousands of members comes to you.

To avoid this subscribe to one or two at first, experiment with it to see if its what you expected and then unsubscribe to it when they are no longer useful, saving yourself much time and disk space.

The list of news groups can be obtained in our next issue.  In that issue well have more info on how to subscribe or unsubscribe to any of them.

     Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link (WELL). Itself a major Net access

point in the San Francisco area, the WELL is also a unique online

community that maintains dozens of conferences on every imaginable

topic (seven devoted just to the Grateful Dead).  WELL users are

intelligent and opinionated; discussions are often fast and furious.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation was basically started in a series

of online conversations on the WELL. Although it has a serious San

Francisco flavor, it has users from across the country (enough to

support both East Coast and Midwest conferences).

     For its conferences, the WELL uses PicoSpan software, which

presents messages differently than rn or nn.   When you enter a

conference, you can call up a list of "topics."  Enter a topic number,

and all of the messages start scrolling down the screen, sort of like

the music on an old-fashioned player-piano.  There is some online

FINGER

FINGER

     This is a handy little program which lets you tell others more

about you -- and which you can sometimes use to find out more about

people whose names you see on the Net.

     It uses the same concept as telnet or ftp. But it works with only

one file, called .plan (yes, with a period in front).  This is a text

file you create with a text editor in your home directory.  You can

put your phone number in there, or your address, or anything at all.

     To finger somebody else's .plan file, type this at the command

line:

     finger email-address

where email-address is the person's e-mail address.  You'll get back a

display that shows the last time the person was online, whether

they've gotten any new mail since that time and what, if anything, is

in their .plan file.


HOW TO FIND PEOPLE AND GET FOUND EASILY

FINDING SOMEONE ON THE NET

     So you have a friend and you want to find out if he has an Internet

account to which you can write?  The quickest way may be to just pick up the phone, call him and ask him.  Although there are a variety of "white pages" services available on the Internet, they are far from complete -- college students, users of commercial services such as CompuServe and many Internet public-access sites, and many others simply won't be listed.  Major e-mail providers are working on a universal directory system, but that could be some time away.

     In the meantime, a couple of "white pages" services might give you

some leads, or even just entertain you as you look up famous people or

long-lost acquaintances.

     The whois directory provides names, e-mail and postal mail address

and often phone numbers for people listed in it.  To use it, telnet to

      internic.net

No log-on is needed.  The quickest way to use it is to type

     whois name

at the prompt, where "name" is the last name or organization name you're looking for.


HOW TO FIND FILES

FTP   FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

     Hundreds of systems connected to Internet have file libraries, or

archives, accessible to the public. Much of this consists of free or

low-cost shareware programs for virtually every make of computer.  If you want a different communications program for your IBM, or feel like playing a new game on your Amiga, you'll be able to get it from the Net.

     But there are also libraries of documents as well.  If you

want a copy of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, you can find it on the Net.  Copies of historical documents, from the Magna Carta to the Declaration of Independence are also yours for the asking, along with a translation of a telegram from Lenin ordering the execution of

rebellious peasants.  You can also find song lyrics, poems, even

summaries of every "Lost in Space" episode ever made.  You can also find extensive files detailing everything you could ever possibly want to know about the Net itself.  First you'll see how to get these files; then

we'll show you where they're kept.

     The commonest way to get these files is through the file transfer

protocol, or ftp.  As with telnet, not all systems that connect to the

Net have access to ftp.  However, if your system is one of these, you'll

be able to get many of these files through e-mail (see the next chapter).

     Starting ftp is as easy as using telnet. At your host system's command line, type

          ftp site.name

and hit enter, where "site.name" is the address of the ftp site you want

to reach.  One major difference between telnet and ftp is that it is

considered bad form to connect to most ftp sites during their business

hours (generally 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time).  This is because

transferring files across the network takes up considerable computing

power, which during the day is likely to be needed for whatever the

computer's main function is.  There are some ftp sites that are

accessible to the public 24 hours a day, though.  You'll find these noted

in the list of ftp sites.

     How do you find a file you want, though?

     Until a few years ago, this could be quite the pain -- there was

no master directory to tell you where a given file might be stored on

the Net. Who'd want to slog through hundreds of file libraries looking

for something?

     Alan Emtage, Bill Heelan and Peter Deutsch, students at McGill

University in Montreal, asked the same question.  Unlike the weather,

though, they did something about it.

     They created a database system, called archie, that would

periodically call up file libraries and basically find out what they had

available.

     In turn, anybody could dial into archie, type in a file name, and

see where on the Net it was available. Archie currently catalogs close to

1,000 file libraries around the world.

     Today, there are three ways to ask archie to find a file for you:

through telnet, "client" Archie program on your own host system or e-

mail.  All three methods let you type in a full or partial file name and

will tell you where on the Net it's stored.

 If you have access to telnet, you can telnet to one of the following

addresses: archie.mcgill.ca; archie.sura.net; archie.unl.edu;

archie.ans.net; or archie.rutgers.edu.  If asked for a log-in name, type

           archie

and hit enter.

     When you connect, the key command is prog, which you use in this

form:

            prog filename

followed by enter, where "filename" is the program or file you're

looking for. If you're unsure of a file's complete name, try typing in

part of the name. For example, "PKZIP" will work as well as

"PKZIP201.EXE."  The system does not support DOS or Unix wildcards.

If you ask archie to look for "PKZIP*," it will tell you it couldn't

find anything by that name.  One thing to keep in mind is that a file is

not necessarily the same as a program -- it could also be a document.

This means you can use archie to search for, say, everything online

related to the Beetles, as well as computer programs and graphics files.

     A number of Net sites now have their own archie programs that

take your request for information and pass it onto the nearest archie

database -- ask your system administrator if she has it online. These

"client" programs seem to provide information a lot more quickly than the actual archie itself!  If it is available, at your host system's command

line, type

     archie -s filename

where filename is the program or document you're looking for, and hit

enter.  The -s tells the program to ignore case in a file name and lets

you search for partial matches. You might actually want to type it this

way:

          archie -s filename|more

which will stop the output every screen (handy if there are many sites

that carry the file you want).  Or you could open a file on your computer with your text-logging function.

      The third way, for people without access to either of the above, is e-mail.

     Send a message to archie@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca. You can leave the

subject line blank.  Inside the message, type

          prog filename

where filename is the file you're looking for.  You can ask archie to

look up several programs by putting their names on the same "prog" line, like this:

          prog file1 file2 file3

     Within a few hours, archie will write back with a list of the

appropriate sites.

       In all three cases, if there is a system that has your file,

you'll get a response that looks something like this:

 Host sumex-aim.stanford.edu

     Location: /info-mac/comm

            FILE -rw-r--r--     258256  Feb 15 17:07  zterm-09.hqx

     Location: /info-mac/misc

            FILE -rw-r--r--       7490  Sep 12 1991  zterm-sys7-color-icons.hqx

     Chances are, you will get a number of similar looking responses

for each program.  The "host" is the system that has the file.  The

"Location" tells you which directory to look in when you connect to

that system.  Ignore the funny-looking collections of r's and hyphens

for now.  After them, come the size of the file or directory listing

in bytes, the date it was uploaded, and the name of the file.

     Now you want to get that file.

     Assuming your host site does have ftp, you connect in a similar

fashion to telnet, by typing:

          ftp sumex-aim.stanford.edu

(or the name of whichever site you want to reach). Hit enter.  If the

connection works, you'll see this:

  Connected to sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

  220 SUMEX-AIM FTP server (Version 4.196 Mon Jan 13 13:52:23 PST 1992) ready.

  Name (sumex-aim.stanford.edu:adamg):

     If nothing happens after a minute or so, hit control-C to return

to your host system's command line.  But if it has worked, type

          anonymous

and hit enter.  You'll see a lot of references on the Net to

"anonymous ftp." This is how it gets its name -- you don't really have

to tell the library site what your name is. The reason is that these

sites are set up so that anybody can gain access to certain public

files, while letting people with accounts on the sites to log on and

access their own personal files.  Next, you'll be asked for your

password.  As a password, use your e-mail address.  This will then come up:

          230 Guest connection accepted. Restrictions apply.

          226 Transfer complete.

          ftp>

     Let's decipher this BUNCH OF GIBBERISH.

     First, ls is the ftp command for displaying a directory (you can

actually use dir as well, but if you're used to MS-DOS, this could lead

to confusion when you try to use dir on your host system, where it won't work, so it's probably better to just remember to always use ls for a directory while online).

     The very first letter on each line tells you whether the listing is

for a directory or a file. If the first letter is a ``d,'' or an "l",

it's a directory. Otherwise, it's a file.

     The rest of that weird set of letters and dashes consist of "flags"

that tell the ftp site who can look at, change or delete the file. You

can safely ignore it. You can also ignore the rest of the line until you

get to the second number, the one just before the date. This tells you

how large the file is, in bytes. If the line is for a directory, the

 number gives you a rough indication of how many items are in that

directory  -- a directory listing of 512 bytes is relatively small. Next

comes the date the file or directory was uploaded, followed (finally!) by its name.

     Notice the README.POSTING file up at the top of the directory. Most archive sites have a "read me" document, which usually contains some basic information about the site, its resources and how to use them.

Let's get this file, both for the information in it and to see how to

transfer files from there to here. At the ftp> prompt, type

          get README

 and hit enter. Note that ftp sites are no different from Unix sites in

general: they are case-sensitive. You'll see something like this:

  200 PORT command successful.

  150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for README (4444 bytes).

  226 Transfer complete. 4444 bytes received in 1.177seconds (3.8 Kbytes/s)

And that's it! The file is now located in your home directory on your host system, from which you can now download it to your own computer. The simple "get" command is the key to transferring a file from an archive site to your host system.

     If the first letter on the line starts with a "d", then that is a

directory you can enter to look for more files.  If it starts with an

"r", then it's a file you can get.  The next item of interest is the

fifth column, which tells you how large the item is in bytes.  That's

followed by the date and time it was loaded to the archive, followed,

finally, by its name.   Many sites provide a "README" file that lists

simple instructions and available files.  Some sites use files named

"Index" or "INDEX" or something similar.

     If you want to download more than one file at a time (say a series

of documents, use mget instead of get; for example:

         mget *.txt

This will transfer copies of every file ending with .txt in the given

directory.  Before each file is copied, you'll be asked if you're sure

you want it.  Despite this, mget could still save you considerable

time -- you won't have to type in every single file name.

        There is one other command to keep in mind.  If you want to get a

copy of a computer program, type

         bin

and hit enter.  This tells the ftp site and your host site that you are

sending a binary file, i.e., a program.  Most ftp sites now use binary

format as a default, but it's a good idea to do this in case you've

connected to one of the few that doesn't.

     To switch to a directory, type

          cd directory-name

(substituting the name of the directory you want to access) and hit

enter. Type

          ls

and hit enter to get the file listing for that particular directory.

To move back up the directory tree, type

          cd ..

(note the space between the d and the first period) and hit enter.  Or

you could type

         cdup

and hit enter.  Keep doing this until you get to the directory of

interest.  Alternately, if you already know the directory path of the

file you want (from our friend archie), after you connect, you could

simply type

        get directory/subdirectory/filename

     On many sites, files meant for public consumption are in the pub

or public directory; sometimes you'll see an info directory.

     Almost every site has a bin directory, which at first glance

sounds like a bin in which interesting stuff might be dumped.  But it

actually stands for "binary" and is simply a place for the system

administrator to store the programs that run the ftp system. Lost+found

is another directory that looks interesting but actually never has

anything of public interest in them.

     Before, you saw how to use archie.  From our example, you can see

that some system administrators go a little berserk when naming files.

Fortunately, there's a way for you to rename the file as it's being

transferred. Using our archie example, you'd type

            get zterm-sys7-color-icons.hqx zterm.hqx

and hit enter.  Instead of having to deal constantly with a file called

zterm-sys7-color-icons.hqx, you'll now have one called, simply,

zterm.hqx.

    Those last three letters bring up something else: Many program files

are compressed to save on space and transmission time.  In order to

actually use them, you'll have to use an un-compress program on them first.

    There are a wide variety of compression methods in use.  You can tell which method was used by the last one to three letters at the end of a file. Here are some of the more common ones and what you'll need to un-compress the files they create (and these decompression programs can all be located through archie).

.TXT          By itself, this means the file is a document, rather than a

              program. .DOC is another common suffix for documents. No

              de-compression is needed, unless it is followed by

.Z            This is a Unix compression method.  To uncompress the file,

              type

                        uncompress file.name.Z

              and hit enter at your host system's command prompt. If it's a

              text file, you can read it online by typing

                       zcat file.txt.Z | more

              at your host system's command line. There is a Macintosh

              program called MacCompress that you can use on your machine

              if you want to download the file (use archie to find where

              you can get it!). There's an MS-DOS equivalent, often found

              as u16.ZIP, which means it is itself compressed in the ZIP

              format.

ZIP           An MS-DOS format. Use the PKZIP package (usually found as

              PKZ201.exe or something similar).

.ZOO          A Unix and MS-DOS format. Requires the use of a program

              called zoo.

.Hqx          A Macintosh format that needs BinHex for de-compression.

.SHAR         A Unix format. Use unshar

.tar          Another Unix format, often used to compress several related

              files into one big file. Use tar.  Often, a "tarred" file

              will also be compressed with the .Z method, so you first have

              to use uncompress and then tar.

.Sit          A Macintosh format, requires StuffIt.

.ARC          A DOS format that requires the use of ARC or ARCE.

      A few last words of caution: Check the size of a file before you

get it.  The Net moves data at phenomenal rates of speed.  But that

500,000-byte file that gets transferred to your host system in a few

seconds could take more than an hour or two to download to your computer if you're using a 2400-baud modem.  Your host system may also have limits on the amount of bytes you can store online at any one time.  Also, although it is really extremely unlikely you will ever get a file infected with a virus, if you plan to do much downloading over the Net, you'd be wise to invest in a good anti-viral program, just in case.

FTP SITES

     What follows is a list of some interesting ftp sites, arranged by

category. With hundreds of ftp sites now on the Net, however, this list

barely scratches the surface of what is available.  Liberal use of archie

will help you find specific files.

     The times listed for each site are in Eastern time and represent

the periods during which it is considered acceptable to connect.

AMIGA

     ftp.uu.net  Has Amiga programs in the systems/amiga directory.

     Available 24 hours.

ATARI

     atari.archive.umich.edu  Find almost all the Atari files you'll ever

need, in the atari directory.

     7 p.m. - 7 a.m.

BOOKS

     pit-manager.mit.edu   The pub/usenet/rec.arts.books directories has

reading lists for various authors as well as lists of recommended

bookstores in different cities.  Unfortunately, this site uses incredibly

long file names -- so long they may scroll off the end of your screen if

you are using an MS-DOS or certain other computers.  Even if you want just one of the files, it probably makes more sense to use mget than get.

This way, you will be asked on each file whether you want to get it;

otherwise you may wind up frustrated because the system will keep Telling you the file you want doesn't exist (since you may miss the end of its name due to the scrolling problem).

     6 p.m. - 6 a.m.


HOW TO HANDLE A GOPHER

GOPHERS, WAISs AND THE WORLDWIDE WEB

     Even with tools like Hytelnet and archie, telnet and ftp can still

be frustrating.  There are all those telnet and ftp addresses to

remember.  Telnet services often have their own unique commands.  And, oh, those weird directory and file names!

     But now that the Net has become a rich repository of information,

people are looking at ways to make it far easier to find all that data.

Gophers and Wide-Area Information Servers (WAISs) are two programs that could ultimately make the Internet as easy to navigate as commercial networks like CompuServe or Prodigy.

     Both programs essentially take a request for information and then

scan the Net for it, so you don't have to.  Both also work through

menus -- instead of typing in some long sequence of characters, you just move a cursor to your choice and hit enter.  Newer gophers even let you select files and programs from ftp sites this way.

     Let's look at gophers first.

     Many public-access sites now have gophers online.  To use one, type

          gopher

at the command line and hit enter.  If you know your site does not have

a gopher, or if nothing happens when you type that, telnet to

          consultant.micro.umn.edu

At the log-in prompt, type

          gopher

and hit enter.  You'll be asked what type of terminal emulation you're

using, after which you'll see something like this:

                    Internet Gopher Information Client v1.03

                    Root gopher server: gopher.micro.umn.edu

 -->  1.  Information About Gopher/

      2.  Computer Information/

      3.  Discussion Groups/

      4.  Fun & Games/

      5.  Internet file server (ftp) sites/

      6.  Libraries/

      7.  News/

      8.  Other Gopher and Information Servers/

      9.  Phone Books/

      10. Search lots of places at the U of M  <?>

      11. University of Minnesota Campus Information/

Press ? for Help, q to Quit, u to go up a menu                        Page: 1/1

     Gophers are great for exploring.  Just keep making choices to see what pops up.  Play with it; see where it takes you.  Some choices will be documents.  When you read one of these and either come to the end or hit a lower-case q to quit reading it, you'll be given the choice of saving a copy to your home directory or e-mailing it to yourself.  Other choices are simple databases that let you enter a word to look for in a particular database.

     Notice that one of your choices is "Internet file server (ftp) sites."  Choose this, and you'll be connected to a modified archie program -- an archie with a difference.  When you search for a file through a gopher archie, you'll get a menu of sites that have the file you're looking for, just as with the old archie.  Only now, instead of having to write down or remember an ftp address and directory, all you have to do is position the cursor next to one of the numbers in the menu and hit enter.  You'll be connected to the ftp site, from which you can then choose the file you want, again just by making a choice in a menu.

     You'll be asked for a name in your home directory to use for the file, after which the file will be copied to your home system.  Unfortunately, this file-transfer process does not yet work with all public-access sites for computer programs and compressed files.  If it doesn't work with yours, you'll have to get the file the old-fashioned way, via ftp.

Then hit your q key to quit, and gopher will ask you if you want to save the file in your home directory on your public-access site or whether you want to e-mail it somewhere.

WORLDWIDE WEB

     Developed by researchers at the European Particle Physics

Laboratory in Geneva, the Worldwide Web is somewhat similar to a WAIS.

But it's designed on a system known as hypertext.  Words in one document are "linked" to other documents.  It's sort of like sitting with an encyclopedia -- you're reading one article, see a reference that

intrigues you and so you flip the pages to look up that reference.

     To try the Worldwide Web, telnet to

          info.cern.ch

No log in is needed.  When you connect, you'll see:

                                                                Welcome to CERN

CLIENTS

     If you are used to plain-vanilla Unix or MS-DOS, then the way these  gophers and WAISs work seems quite straightforward.  But if you're used to a computer with a graphical interface, such as a Macintosh, an IBM compatible with Windows or a Next, you'll probably regard their interfaces as somewhat primitive.

     There are, however, ways to integrate these services into your

graphical user interface.  In fact, there are now ways to tie into the

Internet directly, rather than relying on whatever interface your

public-access system uses.

     There is now a growing number of these "client" programs for

everything from ftp to gopher.  PSI of Reston, Va., which offers

nationwide Internet access, in fact, requires its customers to use these

programs.

     Using protocols known as SLIP and PPP, these programs communicate with the Net using the same basic data packets as much larger computers online.

     Beyond integration with your own computer's "desktop,'' client

programs let you do more than one thing at once on the net -- while your downloading a large file in one window, you can be chatting with a friend through an Internet chat program in another.

     These client programs have a couple of disadvantages.  One is that

you'll need a 9600-baud modem -- while it is possible to connect to the

Net with them at lower speeds, you will likely find them painfully slow.

Not all public-access sites are set up to allow such connections. And

those that are usually charge far more for them.

     Your system administrator can give you more information on setting

up one of these connections.


HOW ABOUT A LITTLE CHIT-CHAT

INTERNET RELAY CHAT

     IRC is a program that lets you hold live keyboard conversations

with people around the world.  It's a lot like an international CB

radio  - it even uses "channels."  Type something on your computer and

it's instantly echoed around the world to whoever happens to be on the

same channel with you.  You can join in existing public group chats or

set up your own.  You can even create a private channel for yourself

and as few as one or two other people.  And just like on a CB radio,

you can give yourself a unique "handle" or nickname.

     IRC currently links host systems in 20 different countries, from

Australia to Hong Kong to Israel.

     Unfortunately, it's like telnet -- either your site has it or it  doesn't.  If your host system does have it,  Just type

               irc

and hit enter.  You'll get something like this:

*** Connecting to port 6667 of server world.std.com

*** Welcome to the Internet Relay Network, adamg

*** Your host is world.std.com, running version 2.7.1e+4

*** You have new mail.

*** If you have not already done so, please read the new user information with

+/HELP NEWUSER

*** This server was created Sat Apr 18 1992 at 16:27:02 EDT

*** There are 364 users on 140 servers

*** 45 users have connection to the twilight zone

*** There are 124 channels.

*** I have 1 clients and 3 servers

MOTD - world.std.com Message of the Day -

MOTD - Be careful out there...

MOTD -

MOTD - ->Spike

* End of /MOTD command.

23:13 [1] adamg [Mail: 32] * type /help for help

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You are now in channel 0, the null channel, in which you can look up various help files, but not much else. As you can see, IRC takes over your entire screen.  The top of the screen is where messages will

appear.  The last line is where you type IRC commands and messages.  All IRC commands begin with a /.  The slash tells the computer you are about to enter a command, rather than a message. To see what channels are available, type

                /list

and hit enter.  You'll get something like this:

*** Channel    Users  Topic

*** #Money     1      School CA$H (/msg SOS_AID help)

*** #Gone      1      ----->> Gone with the wind!!!  ------>>>>>

*** #mee       1

*** #eclipse   1

*** #hiya      2

*** #saigon    4

*** #screwed   3

*** #z         2

*** #comix     1      LET'S TALK 'BOUT COMIX!!!!!

*** #Drama     1

*** #RayTrace  1      Rendering to Reality and Back

*** #NeXT      1

*** #wicca     4      Mr. Potato Head, R. I. P.

*** #dde^mhe`  1      no'ng chay? mo*? ...ba` con o*iiii

*** #jgm       1

*** #ucd       1

*** #Maine     2

*** #Snuffland 1

*** #p/g!      4

*** #DragonSrv 1

     Because IRC allows for a large number of channels, the list might

scroll off your screen, so you might want to turn on your computer's

screen capture to capture the entire list.  Note that the channels

always have names, instead of numbers.  Each line in the listing tells

you the channel name, the number of people currently in it, and whether

there's a specific topic for it.  To switch to a particular channel,

type

                /join #channel

where "#channel" is the channel name and hit enter.  Some "public"

channels actually require an invitation from somebody already on it.  To request an invitation, type

                /who #channel-name

where channel-name is the name of the channel, and hit enter.  Then ask

someone with an @ next to their name if you can join in.  Note that

whenever you enter a channel, you have to include the #.  Choose one

with a number of users, so you can see IRC in action.

     If it's a busy channel, as soon as you join it, the top of your

screen will quickly be filled with messages.  Each will start with a

person's IRC nickname, followed by his message.

     It may seem awfully confusing at first.  There could be two or

three conversations going on at the same time and sometimes the

messages will come in so fast you'll wonder how you can read them all.

     Eventually, though, you'll get into the rhythm of the channel and

things will begin to make more sense.  You might even want to add your two cents (in fact, don't be surprised if a message to you shows up on your screen right away; on some channels, newcomers are welcomed immediately).  To enter a public message, simply type it on that bottom line (the computer knows it's a message because you haven't started the line with a slash) and hit enter.

     Public messages have a user's nickname in brackets, like this:

     If you receive a private message from somebody, his name will be

between asterisks, like this:

FTP SITES!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

For those of you who don't know how to FTP:

The command is like this:

To FTP Project Gutenberg...

ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu

Once you are prompted for a login, do this:

On a UNIX, type anonymous.

On a VAX, type login anonymous.

Your password is your email address. It's a courtesy to the FTP server

to do this. Get used to it or make a macro.

List the contents of directories by hitting 'ls' or 'dir'.

If you use 'dir', you can tell which are directories by looking at the

far left. If the first letter at the far left is a d, it's a directory.

Otherwise, it's a file.

Change directories by hitting 'cd directoryname', where

directoryname is the name of the directory.

To get a non-text file (.ZIP, .Z, .sea, .LHA, .tar...), type bin before

the next step.

To get a file from the server to your account, type get filename.

Sometimes it takes a while. That's life.

Getting it from your account to your computer is someone else's problem.

The ComOnLine Trade Show will be the way for you to keep up with all the new developments coming your way.  Here in the Convention Center at DownTown Anywhere the browser can go from company to company and examine their latest and newest products or services.

The Magazine and Newspaper Editors of the world can come to this OnLine Trade Show to get ideas for new stories.  The average consumer can come to it just to learn about possible upgrades to his computer system.  And the exhibitor can place his products here for all the world to see 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 52 weeks out of the year, FOR A FRACTION OF WHAT IT COSTS to do an Old-Fashioned kind of trade show.

No more exorbitant hotel costs, no more airline tickets to buy, no more hiring pretty models to stand in front of your booth and lure the curious to see your product.  No more having to take several key company executives out of productive jobs to attend the Convention, no more having to lose your shirt at Las Vegas Gaming tables.  No more expensive booth rental for one week of Demonstrations to a very select few.

Now, for a nominal fee, you can let the whole world view your new products, and you can even take orders OnLine and/or build mailing lists and answer customer questions WITHOUT LEAVING THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME OFFICE.

FREE BULLETIN BOARDS

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

FREE BULLETIN BOARD SERVICES

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

NOTE: I have placed BBSs whose main goal is to entertain or serve as

a forum for people to get together here.

BULLETIN BOARDS OR BBSes for those who do not know, are computers that have special software so that anyone with a modem can call them and partake of their services.  BBS Sysops or system operators as they are called, number in the neighborhood of 50,000 in this country and they are as varied as any group of people can be.  Check out some of these and then find others in your neck of the woods and chances are you will find a community of people with your same interests.  BBSes are not what you call the InterNet, but they are all soon to be connected in one way or another, making the InterNet even larger and more viable.

\\\EBBS/PIRATE BBS///

Friendlier than it sounds.

Takes advantage of VT100 and up with a full-screen environment.

All offer Boards (message areas), Mail, and Talk.

Some offer Files and IRC connections.

One minor problem: The majority of these BBSes are limited to

only 800 or so users (that's total, not online) at any given time.

Auggie BBS

bbs.augsburg.edu

141.224.128.4

More boards than ever, Real-time and IRC-like chat, 4m, and BillyNet,

Citadel is a message-only system.

Boards using this are highly active with the exchange of messages

in various "rooms", sometimes as varied as MST3K>, NetLife>, and

Spam! Spam! Spam!>. Plenty of information can be had on these boards,

though no files are available.

Another feature of these boards is that each one has added a little

flavor to the stock Citadel code, so none of them are quite the same.

Quartz BBS

Also, as is programmer's nature, each of these BBSes now have their own

added features.

ISCA BBS

128.255.200.69 <-Note new IP address!

The biggest BBS on the net. Period. 15,000 users a day are calling ISCA.

The user count is now over 100,000.

E-MAIL TIPS

Millions of us are signing up on the Information Superhighway just for the E-mail which is far cheaper than telephone charges and much more efficient.  But what are E-mail addresses?  There are many different flavors depending on how you got your InterNet Service.

Here are a few of the examples of formatting your addresses based on the service you subscribe to:

Lets look at my E-mail address first:

Netcom

lite@ix.netcom.com

CompuServe: 72254.16@compuserve.com

GEnie: J.Jones@genie.geis.com

America Online: UserName@aol.com

Delphi: Username@delphi.com

Applelink: Username@applelink.apple.com

AT&T Mail: User@attmail.att.com

MCI Mail: 1234567@mcimail.com

        User_Name@mcimail.com

BIX: User@dcibix.das.net

Bitnet: user@SITE.BITNET is

        user%site.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu

                     or @mitvma.mit.edu

Prodigy: UserID@prodigy.com

         Prodigy users can now mail out from Prodigy. Info is available

         by JUMPing mail manager.

Now, that you have an address you can use your editor that comes with your service to write notes to anyone in the world, no matter what service they have.  Dont worry, your return address will be automatically inserted so that people can respond to you at their leisure.

This ability to send messages and then wait for a response is one the best features of the Information Superhighway.  Its like having a universal Answering Service for everyone in the world who may know about you.

A/Z LISTINGS

APPENDIX  -- A  -  THE INTERNET MARKETING RESOURCE LIST.

This Appendix is a listing of many of the best places on the Internet for conducting market research or the promotion/advertising of your own products or services or for finding those important business alliances that can help you with your overall gameplan.  The list should be used as a jumping off point because from here, you will find many thousands of other useful places on the Internet as you explore.

This Appendix is also part of the Offical Roadmap on the Diskette on the back of this book.  With it, you can find many more important resources for your marketing effort.

This is the most complete list I know and is current as of this writing. But we also publish this as a Newsletter that you can subscribe to for monthly updates of all marketing information in this book.  If you have an Internet Account, you can get download electronic versions of the "The Official Road Map of the Information Superhighway" which are updated monthly. The address is http://netcenter.com.  Go to the Roadmap.  The Windows Help File Version, called the  Official Roadmap to the Information Superhighway  can also be found at your local BBS.  If they don t have it ask them to get it for you.  Any individual or BBS can retrieve the latest list at EXEC-PC.  By Modem:  1-414-789-4360 (9600 BD), and 414-789-4210 (2400 Bd)  1414- 789-4500  28800BD  Internet Access 1-414-789-4600

Menus choices are: F, (Files) F, (Free Area) L, (Lighthouse Books) L (List All).    Telnet Address is: bbs.execpc.com.  The Exec PC Web page is at WWW.EXECPC.COM.  EXEC-PC is the most advanced of all BBS services with over 400 phone lines and now a Direct Internet Service.  Most all other BBSes will have to follow along in their path.

NOTE:  no login names or passwords are required unless otherwise stated!

ALSO NOTE:  for ftp sites, login as anonymous, password is your email address

This section primarily serves as a reference point to put some of the techniques of the developing your market cycle to work for you on the Internet.

As you have completed reading the entire book by now, you should be able to reference any of these places listed here to accomplish any part of the research you may need to do.  Remember, Chapter One gives details on how to FTP, Telnet, Gopher, Etc.

Below you will find an alphabetical listing of files and resources that I have found on the Internet.  Many of these you will find will save you plenty of time and money.

By going to conferences, getting their files and tutorials, etc., you can learn what kind of electronic publishing is proper for your goals.  There are many different ways to go.

But if you EXAMINE this electronic publication you can learn alot.  This is one of the best examples of electronic publications we can think of.  Probably because its our own.  There are many others just as good.  It is our purpose here to inform and to educate people about the InterNet, but as you may have noticed we are also trying to turn a profit with advertising.

And Windows will only increase its share because of the momentum it has gained.

Dont be confused by any other Electronic Publishing techniques.  This is the best one for now.  And tomorrow, well be using the MULTIMEDIA EDITION OF THE WINDOWS HELP FILE COMING IN THE NEXT VERSION OF WINDOWS 4.0

V2 The New American Bible  Ecology of Mind

THE NEW AMERICAN BIBLE - ECOLOGY OF MIND

      ($15.00)

          Two thousand years ago, people were inspired by the life

          of a  great teacher to write what would later become known as

          'The 'Bible', arguably the most important book ever published

          by Man.  Now, the New American Bible is being compiled by

          people just as sincere and dedicated to the survival and betterment of

          Mankind in the year 1987.  It begins with the first part of the

          Bible, - Ecology of Mind.  It was inspired by conversations

          between the author and 'Universal Mind' a concept new to most of  us but soon to become a household word.  It is a presence found   in everything we can see, hear, touch or taste.  It's the

          Universal Force of Consciousness that produces every word we

          speak, every breath we take.  It's found in computers, salt, potatoes, cars, animals, even in the rocks.

          If you want to know how you got here, who you are, where

          you are going, you will want to read this book that will someday

          be bigger than the original.  It's all about the last days

          of this millennium and the beginning days of the next.

V3    <<< OPERATION DESERT STORM  $15.00

          edited by Edward R. Moro Jr.

          The Gulf War as told by the Combatants who were actually

          there!!

          "OPERATION DESERT STORM is the full story of the Recent

          Gulf War. It includes the stories of the pilots who flew the

          missions to destroy the radar sites and missile sites and the

          ground troops who blew away the Iraqi Soviet-built tanks and

          artillery. It's a great story about the most successful war

          in history.  Over in only 100 hours, there has never been so

          much destruction leveled on  so many people in so short a time.

          You will also read about the many acts of heroism in

          piloting the Apache helicopters which were so decisive in this

          war, the tank commanders who blew away thousands of enemy tanks, artillery, armored personnel carriers with very accurate

          weapons,as well as the many interesting and intriguing stories of

          the ground soldiers who had to flush out all the thousands of

          enemy prisoners of war to rescue the country of Kuwait.  You will  also learn about the Iraqi atrocities in this war. (Not for the

          squeamish.)

          been traveling all over this nation and talking about

          the fact that we need to RE-INVENT OUR GOVERNMENT.

          Well, we agree and we are certain that these two men

          cannot handle such a large job on their own.  This

          Electronic Book is meant to aid them in their great

          cause.  With the feedback we get from the readers,

          and with some of our own ideas we are going to tell

          the folks in Washington DC just how to RE-INVENT OUR

          GOVERNMENT.

          We desperately need your help on this one because the

          fools are likely to throw the baby out with the bath

          water.  WE NEED YOU to help us TELL THEM what to keep

          and what to scrap!  We also want them to give the

          people some new freedoms.  We want the ability for

          all the voters to vote on the issues RIGHT ON THE

          BALLOT.  We can't wait for Congress and all their

          dirty laundry to get the solutions out in time to

          solve the problems.  All they do is sit around and

          argue with each other and try to take credit for

          anything good that comes along.  This book teaches

          us all a way to OVERCOME THIS GRIDLOCK IN

          WASHINGTON ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME!

          MAKE NO MISTAKE, this book is DYNAMITE!  Nothing short of a political REVOLUTION.  But they are the ones who

          called for it, not us!  But WE THE PEOPLE are the ones

          who must finish it.  If you love America, don't miss out

          on participating in the new version.

          see Elvis Presley's spirit walking around.  If you read this book,

          was visited by Elvis in his dreams for forty consecutive

          nights.  In these dreams, Elvis explains everything you will

          us.  It's a very good read, a quick tour through some of the most

          interesting concepts ever talked about.  When you finish this book, you actually find you have been on a trip through the center of

V6        <<<   TOURS DE FORCE - $15.00

             Finding places to travel to that are a bit of Paradise is

          harder and harder since sooner or later everyone finds out about

          them and then they get crowded and - no more paradise.  This

          guide will keep you updated on places to see that are not yet

          discovered by everyone and ruined.  Everyone thinks that a vacation in paradise is expensive, but you can find in this guide Condos and rooms for less than $35/nite.  The only real expense is the air

          fare and these are at an all time low too.  With advice in this

          guide you'll learn how to cut your lowest fare in half.

             A very off-the-beaten-path travel guide.  The authors

          take you to places on the Earth where you can finally relax

          and enjoy the Earth the way God intended it to be enjoyed.  Some of the places visited, include the remote parts of Hawaii, Mexico,

          Bali, Tahiti, Europe, and even places in America where you can get to cheaply, without a great deal of hassle and when you get there,

          you will honestly believe you're in Paradise.

          This guide is not meant for the traveler who wants to find

          a Hotel with all the amenities and then hang out like most

          Americans.  This travel guide is for the truly adventurous.  It

          is filled with air fares that are generally unknown to the public

          and much cheaper than what you would find at your local travel

          agent.

          It gives much useful & needed information about what you can

          expect at each location.  Fresh new ideas about how to take the family on an adventure that they will never forget and renew the spirit!

                    or

             HOW TO WRITE AND CREATE 'VIRTUAL BOOKS' LIKE THESE! -By Michael Mathiesen.  The nation's pioneer and most knowledgeable Electronic Publisher.

The Founder of the Internet, the Center of the Internet and creator of 'Marketing on the Internet - a Step-by-Step guide to marketing your products on the Internet.'  (A companion book to this one.  Order both for a special price of only $49.95)

            This book explains everything you need to create 'VERBONS'

          or the kind of books that you are now reading.  They are

          meant to be read on a computer screen and never actually make it to paper media unless the reader wants or needs to print it on his own

          personal printer.  The implications of this new industry are varied and exciting.

             Creating 'Virtual Books' is fun AND PROFITABLE.  All you

          need is a personal computer.  You can get ideas at any time and

          you don't know how to publish them.  This book gives you

          step-by-step procedures for getting your ideas published

          almost instantly.  New York publishers get thousands of

          manuscripts each day and they must invest between $50,000 to

          $100,000 to manufacture, distribute and promote a book.  So,

          the odds are not great that you or I will ever interest a New York

          Publishing house.  The good news is you don't have to deal

          with them any more because the personal computer industry has created a completely new market where no huge investment is required to publish your work.  With Electronic publishing like the

          one you're reading now, the entire investment is only a

          few dollars.  And you could earn more than any New York Publisher  is going to pay you in royalties.

             The Electronic Bible - actually a kit - will give you

          everything you need to make an electronic book including

          the program that puts it into the format that you see on your screen!

          It's called hypertext.

             All you need is an idea for something that lots of people

          would be interested to know, or be entertained by.  That's the

          first rule! The second rule is, 'Don't try to re-invent the wheel'.

          Order this kit today and you will avoid all the pitfalls!  Well

          worth the small investment to save you a great deal of time

          and money. If you're a budding author, you will not regret looking into this.

             Oh yes, I should tell you that one of our electronic

          books proved itself a hot-seller and now the New York

          Publishers are coming to us with offers.  So, this is the best wa to become published that we know of, unless you're already a celebrity.  To make a name for yourself takes years, often decades of hard work.  This book will tell you how to cut that down by a large margin.

V8  Marketing on the Internet - a Step-by-Step guide to marketing your products on the Internet.'  $39.95  (A companion book to the Electronic Bible.  Learn how to create books like this one and how to market it over the Internet.   Order both for a special price of only $49.95  Just be sure and specify both Prod. # V7 & V8)

The opportunities to market your products and services on the Internet are astronomical and growing every day.  More than 2 million people per month, join the Internet for finding new files and new information.  Your book, your consulting services, your art work, or your hardware should be marketed on the Internet because this is the most cost-effective ways to reach millions of people.

The Internet represents a communications tool that rivals the television and will one day merge with television. However, businesses are quickly learning that promoting their products and services over the Internet today can be more effective and much less expensive (sometimes free) then buying television time. The Internet is the next premier international market place. If you have a business, or are planning to be in business over the next few decades, and you have not made plans to participate, you should think again.  And you should start thinking now because, in my opinion, the next great economic expansion will happen via the Internet!

All major businesses, even non-profits, are making plans to be Online, if they aren't already.  Major museums, restuarants, libraries are Online.  Most cities and towns around the world will eventually have their virtual city replica Online to promote their real real estate in the world.  Even President Clinton and VP Al Gore have joined the millions of us who are marketing new ideas through the Internet by creating the new White House Server as shown in Figure intro1.1 above.  If you found this page on the Internet, you could click on the pictures to hear a speech by the President and/or the Vice President.  There s even a sound file of the White House Pet, 'Socks' the cat.  You can also do serious things like branch out to all Federal agencies who have Web servers and get information from each.  You can sign their guest book.  You can have a tour of the White House.  There s a map for tourists.  You can even learn what it is to be an  Interactive Citizen .  (This last piece holds great promise for the future of politics.  But that s another subject completely.)

In order to be successful, you have to have a guide.  I like to think of this book as your guide to your successful marketing on the Internet and a reference work that you can keep on your shelf so that when you are ready to market your products and/or services, you will have a  step-by-step  tutorial on how to get started and/or how to complete it, and also where to find the tools.  I hope that most of my readers will be ready, TODAY, to begin marketing their products and services on the Internet and the good news is that the Internet is ready for you.

I hope you enjoy reading my book and I hope you will use all the techniques and that they all work for you as well as they have worked for me.

          in Fossil form, for HumanKind to stumble upon.

          In this Super Science Fiction Thriller, Michael

          Mathiesen takes us on an equally thrilling journey

          into another time zone, another part of the unviverse

          where Humanity is experimenting with its own DNA.

          Since there would be far too many objectors on Earth,

          NASA commissions a mission to the nearest star with

          a solar system and expected conditions of life support

          for any creatures that might be genetically altered

          along the way by the two Scientists on Board.  Dr.

          Jerry Blake and his wife Ellie.

          This is a knock out punch of a Classic Sci-fi jaunt

          through speculative science part of which is now known

          and part of which can be guessed at by very special

          talents like Michael Mathiesen.  This book is a MUST-

          READ for anyone interested in the future of the Race,

          the Human Race and all the implications that it might

          have for the present.

          "We are Penetrators of the Field", he said.  "There

          is no front, back, left or right, in or out, past,

          present or future, only the Field.  The atoms and

          sub-atoms that make up our minds and our bodies, live

          and die, travel throughout the cosmos and are programmed

          just as all living things are.  We penetrate the Field

          and become more than just the sum of our parts when we

          are aware of these facts and all others that are part

          of the act of Creation. But not until."

          HOW TO MAKE A MILLOIN WITH 900#S AND

THE INTERNET.

     $39.95

     Many people are reaping huge profits from

the InterNet and many more are reaping huge profits

from the 900# business.  We combine both concepts

and show you how make money with both great ways of making

money in an automated way.

     As an information provider, your 900# has

to have a good concept behind.  You need something of

interest to people enough so that they will pay you $2 or $3

per minute to get it, whatever IT is.  And secondly, you

need a way to advertise your 900# for free so that every caller

you get is profit and not money to pay your newspaper advertising or

TV advertising bills.

     Most people with 900#'s don't realize that

the only way to really make money is to do it WITHOUT

PAYING FORDVERTISING.  We got you to find this book without any

advertising expense at all.  We never spend a dime to advertise

our publications.  So, it's very easy to extend our knowledge and

show you how to do the same thing with a 900#.

     We're so sure this formula works, we got a

900# too.  Call it and you'll see the kind of information

that is both useful and profitable.  OUR NUMBER IS THE NATIONAL

PEOPLE'S POLL

     This book is $49 because we will save the

reader hundreds of hours in searching for the right tools and

we save you thousands of dollars if you made the common

mistakes.

     AND IT WILL MAKE YOU THOUSANDS PER MONTH.

     With this book,     if you go into the 900# business, you are

guaranteed  to make money.  If you don't, we'll refund the cost of

the book.

     HOW TO MAKE A MILLION IN MULTI-LEVEL

MARKETING, USING THE INTERNET.

     Many people are looking for a great second

income.  You may have a job that is not paying enough to support

your family, but you can not make a switch or move up the corporate

ladder because of age or "office politics".  You might be a

woman who wants to help support the family, but you don't want to go out

and take a job paying $3.50   per hour because you are more intelligent than

that and you know your intelligence and skill is worth much

more than that.

     If you want a second income, or you want

to develop a home-based business that you can leave your present

employment to pursue Full Time, or if you're in a declining business

and you're looking for   something new,  THIS

MAY BE THE BOOK FOR YOU.

     This Verbon is a complete How To Manual on

how t start your own Health Business and use the business

marketing model of MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING.

This means that you can have people working

     for you anywhere in the world.  You sell

them one pkg of material and as they sell product to their friends

and neighbors you get a commission on

every dollar of business they do.  When they

get someone to sell under them, you also get a

commission.  And so on.  Some of the richest millionaires in

this country were involved in Multi-Level Marketing, but the key is

to get in BEFORE everyone on the block is signed up as a distributor

as is the case with almost every Multi-Level

product, EXCEPT THIS ONE.

     The reason:  As the world signs up their

friends, more and more of them are part of your `down-line'.  THE

COMPUTER TAKES care of all the billing.  So,

you can just sit by the pool and get a check.

     But it's not that easy in the beginning.

First you have to find lots of people to talk to.  AND THAT'S

WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT   THIS MANUAL GIVES

YOU A MODEL FOR CONTACTING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

OVER THE INTERNET, JUST LIKE WE CONTACTED YOU.

     THE COMBINATION OF INTERNET AND MULTI-

LEVEL     MARKETING IS FANTASTIC FOR MAKING

MONEY.  BUT DON'T   DELAY, there will come a

time when it's all over because the market is saturated, just like anything else.

But that day is 5 - 10 years away.  By that time, you can be RICH,

FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT for the  rest of your life.

But you need this book to start.

"HOW TO MAKE IT IN THE STOCK MARKET WITH LESS RISK

& GREATER REWARDS."

By Merrill Armstrong

Pres. Emeritus, The National Stock Market Investors Association

Many people have tried to define a method of making money in the Stock

Market THAT REDUCES RISK AND MAXIMIZES REWARD.  In this manual, the

nation's leading Stock Market Advisor tells us how to make money in the

Market by using the OPTIONS ON MOST STOCKS, now listed.

By using OPTIONS CAREFULLY and with a goal and this plan, the average

investor stands a chance against the Big Money Interests.  The reason you

must learn this plan if you hope to make money consistently in the Market is

due to the fact that the people managing HUGE ACCOUNTS, in the billions

of dollars CONTROL THE MARKET.  You can't outwit them. They are going

to use you to make a few percentage points each week.  This is how they

survive.  A few points on a Billion dollars is BIG MONEY.  Whereas for you

it's not enough to pay your Broker's commissions.

So, in order to survive and not worry about your investment every day, you

need a better plan.  Yes, you can buy a mutual fund, but what fun is there in

that?  And besides.  Mutual funds have been making big profits lately, but

that means they can lose huge profits in a down-trending market which

means that there must be a better way to make these kinds of profits in an

up or Bullish Market, and not lose in a Down or Bearish Market.

Buing and selling Options is just such a technique.  But you can't just run

out there and start buying them or selling them without knowing what you're

doing.  This Manual of Option strategies will show you exactly what to do.

Then, you can just make a few small investments to test out this system.

When they work, you'll more than pay for this book and it will bring you many

thousands of times in profits over the years too, if you use it consistently.

If you have any desire to get into the Stock Market, DON'T until you've read

this book.

           SuperHighway, founder of the ELECTRONIC PUBLISHERS

           ASSOCIATION, Michael Mathiesen, this book is a Bible

           for anyone wanting to learn how to get the most from

           the information superhighway in order to promote a

           a product or service.

           The old ways of doing things are similar to the

           horse and buggy days.  They're gone forever, a bit

           of nostalgia and Americana.  The way of the future

           is to use the new technology to invent, promote,

           develop, test, market and advertise one's skills.

           Laws have to change.  Intellectual property rights

           such as Copyright and Trademark are changing.

           Everything is changing, but if you're a reader of

           this book, you can keep ahead of everything to

           come over the next decade.  This book is your Introduction

information to keep you on the cutting edge of

marketing and technology.
