Useful Links

This list will evolve with time to become more specific to CS 401. However, I also have created an extensive collection of links for another course I teach, CS 403 Online Network Exploration. Many of these links are likely to be of interest to students in CS 401 as well, so feel free to check them out.

Software

• WS_FTP LE is a free (for academic users) file transfer program for Windows 95/98.
• Fetch is a free file transfer program for the Macintosh.
• EWAN is a free terminal emulator for Windows 95/98 (if you don't like TELNET.EXE).
• Better Telnet is a free terminal emulator for the Macintosh.
• You can get Netscape Communicator for either Windows 95/98 or the Macintosh from the Netscape Download Site.
• You can get Microsoft Internet Explorer for either Windows 95/98 or the Macintosh from the Microsoft Internet Explorer Download Site.
• If you're looking for something else, try one of the following, but don't forget that continued use of shareware typically requires payment of a license fee:
• Shareware.com is a well-organized, searchable collection of shareware, freeware, and demos from the helpful folks at c|net. It is nicely organized for browsing in a hierarhical fashion.
• Filemine is a searchable database of downloadable software. The available software includes both freeware and shareware.
• Windows 95 Software Links is an extensive, hierarchically arranged collection of links to a wide variety of downloadable software for use with Windows 95. The available software ranges from drivers, to demos, to shareware, to templates, and more. You might have to poke around a bit to find what you're looking for though.
• If you've got some time to kill, you might want to check out the collection of downloadable games you'll find at Happy Puppy. They've got a lot of creative ways to kill a few hours, days, or weeks. Just make sure you've gotten all your homework done first! ;-)

Textbooks

• The Web site for Discovering Computers 98 by Shelly, Cashman, et al.
• The Web site for Computers in Society edited by Kathryn Schellenberg, the most interesting part of which is likely to be the Related Links page.

UNIX

• A nice collection of links to UNIX guides and tutorials, but you'll probably want to restrict yourself to the first part of the list under the heading "User."
• Using Unix at UNH by Paul A. Sand.
• Pine HowDoI by Jim Cerny
• Using pico within pine by Jim Cerny
