Merit Network presents
A Cruise of the Internet
Version 2.0 for IBM-DOS and DOS compatibles running Windows
October 28, 1992
WHAT IS IT?
Merit's "Cruise of the Internet" is a computer-based tutorial for new
as well as experienced Internet "navigators." The Cruise will introduce
you to Internet resources as diverse as supercomputing, minorities,
multimedia, and even cooking. It will also provide information about the
tools needed to access those resources.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
This tutorial will run on any IBM-DOS or DOS-compatible computer which
is equipped to display 256 colors at an aspect ratio of 640 x 480. To
run the Cruise tutorial you will need:
- An IBM-DOS or DOS-compatible computer
- XGA- or XGA-compatible adapter set to display 256 colors at 640 x 480
- Microsoft Windows(TM) version 3.1
- Approximately 1.5 MB of disk space
- 2 MB RAM minimum
- Internet connectivity and software that does file transfers via FTP.
HOW TO INSTALL IT:
The following directions will install the Cruise in the WINDOWS directory
on your C: drive and as an icon in the Applications Window.
1. On your PC type:
cd c:\windows
2. Use Anonymous FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to obtain the directions
(this file) and the Cruise (in binary format):
ftp nic.merit.edu
username: anonymous
password: guest
ftp> cd resources
ftp> get merit.cruise2.win.readme meritcrz.txt
ftp> binary
ftp> get merit.cruise2.win.exe meritcrz.exe
ftp> quit
3. Start Windows by typing "WIN" at the DOS-prompt.
4. Open the Applications window.
5. Click on the File option in the Program Manager window.
6. Click on New.
7. In the New Program Object window, click the Program Item
button, and then on OK.
8. In the Program Item Properties window, fill in the boxes as follows:
Description: Merit's Cruise 2.0
Command Line: meritcrz
Working Directory: c:\windows
and then click on OK.
9. A movie projector icon with the label "Merit's Cruise 2.0" should
appear in the Applications window. To run the Cruise, double-click
on the icon.
Note: If you do not have Internet connectivity from your PC, you may
still be able to acquire the Cruise. Talk to your local support staff
to determine if other machines on your campus have FTP capabilities and
a way to transfer binary files to your PC.
DISTRIBUTION:
You may copy and distribute the Cruise without charge. You must
include the MERITCRZ.TXT file with the Cruise and you may not charge
any fees for the distribution of the Cruise.
A version of the cruise for Apple Macintosh II, LC, and Quadra computers
is also available for Anonymous FTP from nic.merit.edu in the same directory.
