- Merit Network presents
- A Cruise of the Internet
- Version 2.01 for Apple Macintosh computers
- April 13, 1993
-
- 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 color Macintosh which is capable of
- displaying 256 colors. To run the Cruise tutorial you will need:
-
- - A Macintosh II, LC or Quadra series computer
- - 8-bit color and any color monitor (12" minimum)
- - System 6.05 or 7.x
- - Approximately 3 MB of disk space
- - 4 MB RAM is recommended
- - Internet connectivity and software that does file transfers via FTP.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL IT:
- 1. Use Fetch to connect to nic.merit.edu (user: anonymous, password: guest,
- directory: resources/cruise.mac) and get the files:
- merit.cruise2.mac.readme
- merit.cruise2.mac.hqx
- Alternatively, you can use any other software that does Anonymous FTP,
- but you will have to use BinHex, or StuffItLite to convert the .hqx
- file to a Mac executable form.
- 2. Pull down your Apple menu and select CONTROL PANELS.
- 3. Select MONITORS from your Control Panel.
- 4. Set your Monitors control panel device to 256 colors. (Note: any other
- setting will degrade the performance and display of your tutorial.)
- 5. If you are running Multifinder or System 7, quit all open applications.
- 6. Run the tutorial from the copy on your hard drive by double-clicking on
- the projector icon labeled "Merit's Cruise 2.01."
-
- Note: If you do not have Internet connectivity from your Mac, 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 files to your Mac. Or, send your name and address,
- specify that you want the Mac version (1.44MB HD diskette only), and
- include a check or money order for $10.00US (payable to "University of
- Michigan") or your VISA/MasterCard number (including the expiration date
- and your signature) to:
