- * Recent Changes since the last posting:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Computer Related Web Sites.
- - Object Oriented Computing in the Natural Sciences: November 22-25,
- multi-disciplinary conference at the EMBL Heidelberg, Germany (see
- Conferences).
- - HEP C++ Telegram: infrequent publication on C++ in High Energy Physics.
- - The HEP Code Catalog: experimental setup for C++ in High Energy
- Physics.
- - [US] National Software Exchange for the High Performance Computing
- and Communications community.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * C++ on the World Wide Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FYI, there is a wealth of information on C++ available on the World Wide
- Web [WWW], a distributed HyperText system (a network of documents
- connected by links which can be activated electronically). The WWW resource
- can be searched for keywords.
- Especially for readers of hepnet.lang.c++, the link "Newsgroups" leads
- to an edited list of messages from hepnet.lang.c++, archived at the freeHEP
- information server and the FAQ for this group. The latest version of this
- resource info sheet is available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu in file
- /pub/usenet/news-answers/www/resources/c++.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * How to Get to the Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to
-
- http://info.desy.de/general/users.html
-
- and look for "C++" in the panel which appears. The precise URL is
-
- http://info.desy.de/user/projects/C++.html
-
- If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with
-
- telnet info.cern.ch
-
- which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the
- simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the number
- given after an item. To go to the C++ documents, enter
-
- go http://info.desy.de/user/projects/C++.html
-
- This is what you should see now:

- * More on Browsing the Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW"
- or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for
- use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in
- directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. For vt100 terminals there is a much-used
- browser called "Lynx" which can be obtained by FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu
- in the pub/lynx directory. Emacs users will like the "W3" browser, FTP to
- cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3.
- There is a FTP repository for browser software at info.cern.ch
- (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0 and tkWWW).
- If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW
- documents by e-mail: send Email to test-list@info.cern.ch with one or
- more lines of the form
-
- send [http-address]
- e.g.
- send http://info.desy.de/user/projects/C++.html
-
- at the bottom of the page you'll find all links of that document listed.
- Your mail system must have a mail gateway to internet mail.

- Please feel free to contact me for questions, suggestions and further
- contributions, or just to tell me whether you found this information
- useful in any way.
- For questions related to WWW, consult the WWW-FAQ: it is available
- via anonymous FTP from rtfm.mit.edu in directory
- pub/usenet/news.answers/www-faq, or on WWW at URL
