There are several popular client browsers available for access to such servers. On comp, we provide a text-oriented browser called Lynx . A hypermedia-oriented browser for your workstation called Mosaic is also available. Lynx was developed at the University of Kansas by Lou Montulli. Global hypermedia means that information around the world is interconnected in an environment that allows you to travel through the information by clicking on hyperlinks- terms, icons, or images in documents that point to other, related documents.
Any hyperlink can point to any document anywhere on the Internet.
Users must be connected to the Internet for access to World Wide Web. Contact our service center at 575-2905 for more information. Please note, however, that Mosaic runs best on higher-end machines with 4 MB of memory or more. Quicktime is optional, but necessary if you want to play back movies. URLs specify the access method, the address of the host computer, the port to connect to, and the path and name of the object.
