The program can then be installed on any PC hard drive. Because the resource directory is constantly being updated, it's a good idea to download a recent copy of the file every so often. The Files Menu contains many files which may be downloaded to the caller's own computer. The files from text materials such as Health and Disability Fact Sheets to Shareware games and software. The Message Menu is the area for private or public correspondence and consists of private mail, IPIN-BBS message areas, and Usenet groups.
Private mail is for messages between individuals.
The private messages may be between individuals on the bulletin or between one individual on the bulletin board and another person on the Internet. IPIN-BBS message areas are for messages left on the board in topical areas such as Childcare, Women's Concerns or Very Special Arts. Messages posted in these areas are for all the IPIN bulletin board callers to see but the messages go no farther. For public messages, go to the Usenet groups. These messages are coming off the Internet and may come from anywhere in the world.
