O'REILLY PUBLISHES MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE INTERNET

September 13, 1992 -- Sebastopol, CA -- Despite efforts to keep their
actions secret, within hours of the Chinese army firing on protesters in
Tinianmen Square and high government officials attempting the 1991 August
coup in the then-Soviet Union, word of these events hit the western world.
There were no midnight border crossings, or furtive long distance phone
calls. Rather, someone posted the news on the global Internet computer
network system.

For computer users, the Internet's millions of files and thousands of
archives let them access the world with their fingertips.

Now, for the first time, there's a book that describes how to get access to
the Internet, and how to use it once you're there. THE WHOLE INTERNET
USER'S GUIDE & CATALOG, by Ed Krol, the Assistant Director for LAN
Deployment at the University of Illinois, covers the basic utilities used
to access the network. It then helps guide the user through the Internet's
"databases of databases."

"This is a book about the Internet, the world's largest computer network.
It's aimed at the 'garden variety' computer user: not the expert or the
computer aficionado, just someone who has a job to get done." ---- from
the "Preface"

The Internet is more than just one network, it's a network that's made up
of virtually every computer network in the world. To help users maneuver
smoothly through the system, THE WHOLE INTERNET USER'S GUIDE & CATALOG
presents:

* The History of the Internet
* How the Internet Works
* What's allowed on the Internet
* How to Remote Login
* How to Move a File
* How to Use Electronic Mail
* How to Find Software or Someone
* How to Deal with Network Problems

An added bonus of Krol's work is a resource index that covers a broad
selection of over three hundred important resources available on the
Internet, ranging from SpaceMet, a bulletin board for exchanging
information about space exploration, to Project Hermes, a posting of
recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. In addition, Krol uses commands that
can be used on almost any computer, be it a PC or a network.
