In ftp.apple.com..... there is a directory called alug with the file: Internet-Tour.sit.hqx... What is this file? Is it any good? What kind of file is it? Hypercard? Application? Or just a LARGE text file?

Is it any good? What kind of file is it? Hypercard? It is a tour of the Internet, in Hypercard. Good stuff if you want to learn what the Internet is composed of and where resources are. Here is more info on it: - ------- Forwarded Message To: info-nets@think.com Subject: Tour of the Internet From: Karen Roubicek <NNSC@nnsc.nsf.net> Date: Wed, 10 Apr 91 10:51:29 -0400 The NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) has developed a Tour of the Internet in HyperCard (TM) format for novice network users. The stack has basic information including history, sample email, ftp, and telnet sessions, and a glossary. The Tour is intended to be a fun and easy way to learn about the Internet. We have included a "Local Info" section as part of the Tour. This section is a place where an organization can add information relevant to its own group of users, for example a listing of resources at that site, or other, specialized information. The stack uses HyperCard 2.0 (TM) which requires Macintosh system software version 6.0.5 or higher. The files have been compressed using StuffIt 1.5.1 and take up about 760k when converted to their original format. The Internet Tour is available via anonymous ftp on: nnsc.nsf.net, directory internet-tour filenames <Internet-Tour-README> and <Internet-Tour.sit.hqx> Our hope is that sites will post the Tour on local, public servers and that several people will take advantage of the Local Info option to add onto the basic stack. We'd like to hear from those who do, and see what they've done. Please send comments and questions about the Tour to nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net. - ------- End of Forwarded Message -- Don Gilbert gilbert@bio.indiana.edu biocomputing office, biology dept., indiana univ., bloomington, in 47405
