If you have questions about whether a Hewlett-Packard workstation is right for you, or if you'd like more details about current HP discount pricing to IU, use your favorite Gopher client to connect to the IU Gopher server. An earlier version, PC RATS 4.0, has been available for some time. Now that all UCS DOS public computing facilities have 386 workstations or better, UCS is upgrading to RATS386. You can use RATS386 from any UCS public DOS workstation. UCS will end support of PC RATS 4.0 before the fall semester.
RATS documentation is the same for either version.
