* 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:

* 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.
