Hi folks:

This didn't send too well, so I'll try again.  Here's a new version of
the Internet resource guide.  Two points to note:  Cornell has updated
their Info-Prime archives, and Kean is now offering FTP service.

I had intended to test everything in the guide before sending out this
revision, but never got around to it.  If you run into any problems
let me know.

Please feel free to distribute this however you wish.  Take some copies
to you next local users group meeting and pass them around, or forward
a copy to someone who might be interested.

16 November 1992         INTERNET RESOURCE GUIDE                Version 3
                         For Prime Computer Users

This guide documents resources available on the Internet of particular
interest to users of systems and software supplied by Prime Computer,
Inc.

The first section of this guide lists resources available via electronic
mail, and the second resources available using FTP.  Each entry includes
information about what's available and how to get it, and who to contact
in case of difficulty.

There are a number of more general Internet resource guides available.
One particularly good one was written by Jerry Martin and can be
retrieved using FTP.  Connect to host magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu with
user "anonymous", password "guest"; cd "pub/network"; and get the file
 "resource.txt".

Please send corrections or additions to this guide to
Eric@CCCC.CC.Colorado.EDU (Eric Ross, Colorado College).
