* C++ on the World Wide Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI, there is a wealth of information on C++ available on the World Wide
Web [WWW], a distributed HyperText system (a network of documents
connected by links which can be activated electronically).
Especially for readers of hepnet.lang.c++, the link "Newsgroups" leads
to an edited list of messages from hepnet.lang.c++, archived at the
freeHEP information server.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* How to Get to the Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to
http://info.desy.de:80/
(this brings you to the DESY home page), and look for "C++" in the
panel which appears. The precise URL is
http://info.desy.de:80/pub/www/projects/hepC++.html
If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with
telnet info.cern.ch
which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the
simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the number
given after an item. To go to the C++ documents, enter
go http://info.desy.de:80/pub/www/projects/hepC++.html
This is what you should see now:

C++ DOCUMENTS AND SOURCES
________________________________________________________________
Getting Informed[1] Many documents and sources on C++[2] and
Object-Oriented[3] Programming
GNU Emacs C++ Mode[4]
Customizable environment of the GNU Emacs
editor to format C++ code
Newsgroups[5] Internet groups for discussions and questions
on C++
Standards[6] Discussion of C++ Language Extensions
OOP-HEP Projects CLHEP[7], Class Library for High Energy Physics
with "Manifesto[8]". Projects in this decade[9]
freeHEP C++ related software information[10] and review
documents[11] from the freeHEP server[12]
OOLP[13] Discussion on Object-Oriented Literate Programming
MGLIB[14] MultiGrid algorithm class LIBrary for lattice
field theory[15]
[[Now you can continue climbing down the documentation tree by
entering numbers 1-15 and follow your own interests]]

* More on Browsing the Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The by far nicest way of "browsing" through WWW uses the X-Terminal
based tool "NCSA Mosaic". Binaries for many platforms (ready for use)
and sources are available via anonymous FTP from
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in directory Web/xmosaic.
The general FTP repository for browser software is info.cern.ch
(including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0).
If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW
documents by e-mail: send a mail to listserv@info.cern.ch with a
line in it saying just
HELP
to get back detailed instructions. Your mail system must have a
mail gateway to the internet mail.

Please feel free to contact me for questions, suggestions and further
contributions, or just to tell me whether you found this information
useful in any way.
For questions related to WWW, consult the WWW-FAQ: a draft of
this text is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.desy.de in
/pub/faq/www/www-faq (it will later be avaible at rtfm.mit.edu,
as other Usenet FAQ lists), or on WWW at
http://www.vuw.ac.nz:80/who/Nathan.Torkington/ideas/www-faq.html
Enjoy.
