WebCIS installation requires 69kb disk space, of which 53kb is the documentation files and 16kb the script files. WebCIS installation is different than standard applications, as the supplied files are scripts and not programmes.
New users are recommended to print documentation topic *6.0 which contains a quick reference to the commonly used WebCIS, Lynx and SunSITE (UNIX) operating commands. This list should be kept handy for the first few online sessions until the user is familiar with the basic operating commands.
