GIG 'EM! Computing Toolbox A weekly column dedicated to computing at Texas A&M Many people (alk about the Internet, but just what is it? The Internet is a worldwide “network of networks” that use the same communications protocol—they speak the same language— and understand the same naming scheme—they know how ~to fmd cach.othcr. Tbc Internet is a massive network, the world’s largest, linking some 20 million people and more than 1.5 million computers at government sites, corpora tions, universities and research organizations around the world. Once connected to the Internet, you have instant access to an almost indescribable wealth of information, most of it free. You can read the text of treaties such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, browse the Library of Congress card catalog, join discussion groups, read U.S. Supreme Court opinions or post resumes. The basic tools for working on the Internet arc: •Telnet, a remote login tool used for logging into other computers on the Internet. Telnet is used to access public services such as online library card catalogs and other kinds of databases. •FTP (File Transfer Protocol), a tool for transferring files back and forth across the Internet. A form of FTP known as anonymous FTP is most useful for retrieving files from public archives. You can use anonymous FTP to retrieve Gopher software for your PC or Macintosh, so that you can run Gopher from your office. •Electronic mail, or c-mail, an electronic communica tions system similar to the U.S. Postal Service. Electronic mail is probably the most used capability of any network. It’s a great tool for the classroom. Instructors and students can continue discussions outside the classroom. Assign ments can be turned in and returned electronically. Groups can converse with electronic mail rather than having to match multiple schedules for meeting times. •Usenet News lets you read messages from and post messages to public newsgroups. Usenet is like bulletin boards or diseftssion groups. Usenet newsgroups arc a great information source. The range of topics is mind boggling and they attract readers from around the world. If you have questions about networking at Texas A&M, or if you need some input on a thesis topic, there’s a newsgroup for you. Internet tools developed in the past few years include: •Gopher, a menu-based system for exploring the massive amount of information on the Internet. When you find something you like, you can read or access it by choosing it on the menu. For example, if you want to access the online library catalog at the University of California, you can find the entry for it in Gopher rather than looking up the address and tclnctting to it. •Archie, a system that lets you search indexes of the files available in public archives. If you’re searching for progra'ms, data or text files, Archie is the place to start. Ask Archie to find filenames which contain a certain search string or suggest files whose description contains a certain word, and it will return the actual filenames that meet your search criteria and the name of the servers containing those files. •WA1S (Wide Area Information Server), a search tool that lets you search Internet archives looking for articles containing groups of words. If you tell WAIS to "find items about CD-ROMS in CACM.src." WAIS looks at all the documents in the indexed collection of documents and tells you which documents arc most likely to contain the information you want. WAIS can display the documents for you. •WWW (World Wide Web) is an Internet tool based on a technology called hypertext, a method of presenting information wherein selected words in the text can be “expanded” at any time to provide other information about the word(s). These words arc links to other documents which may be text, files or pictures. •Mosaic, a browser for WWW, helps you explore a huge amfrapidly expanding universe of information, and gives you powerful new capabilities for interacting with this information. Mosaic provides a single interface to a variety of Internet tools such as Gopher, File Transfer Protocol, and telnet so all you have to do to access information from the Internet is click on phrases and pictures. The downside of the Internet and all the information it provides is that it is messy and poorly coordinated, so . you often need a “frontier mentality” to persevere. But, as you’ll probably discover, once you use a few Internet tools your confidence will grow. Soon you’ll be cruising the Internet, using it as a research tool and telling your friends “You’ve gotta try this!” Call 845-8300 for more information. / Ask the Computinq Wizard Q: Which computer system should I use for electronic mail? A: You can choose Pegasus Mail or POPmail for micro- reHragL&mrgSKsa i computers and OpcnVMS, VM/CMS, need to get a logon-ID on one of the CIS mainframes; to do so contact a Computing and Information Services (CIS) Help Desk. The “best” system is really is a matter of biased choice. Decide on a system. Then visit a CIS Help Desk to learn how to use electronic mail on it. For more information call 845-8300. Q: How do I find someone’s electronic mail address? or UNIX for mainframe accounts . Unfortunately, it is really a matter of preference. However. I can offer you some guidelines. If you know how to use a computer that has electronic mail capability, use it. If you use a computer on a Novell LAN (Local Area Network), get your network administrator to install Pegasus Mail. If you use a PC or Mac that has an Ethernet card, use POPmail. If none of the above questions pertain to you. you will A: It sounds funny, but the best place to start is probably by using the telephone and asking that person for their address directly. If that course of action is not available, then you should use the Gopher information server, as most Gophers have electronic phone books. If the person whom you want to contact belongs to an organization or institution that uses Gopher, you should be able to contact them. Call 845-8300 for more information.

"In light of recent published reports concerning the men’s bas ketball program, I am submitting my resignation as assistant basket ball coach at Baylor University,” Drummond said in a statement Sunday. “At the same time, I absolutely and categorically deny and refute recent statements made by Jerome Lambert and Pam Bowers concerning my involvement in academic irregularities.” Bowers, the former Baylor women’s basketball coach, con tended that men’s coach Darrel Johnson was directly involved in providing a paper to Lambert. Lambert, a Westark Communi ty College player who transferred to Baylor last fall, said Friday that Drummond gave him a hanawrit- ten term paper when he was an assistant at Westark. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said Bowers’ contention is the first direct link between Johnson and probable NCAA rules viola tions in the program, which has been under investigation since September. The SWC is investigating Bay lor’s program for possible acade mic irregularities, improper ben efits for athletes and recruiting improprieties. In nis statement, Drummond was critical of Lambert. "I am incensed that Jerome Lambert would make false and malicious aiiegi coaching staff who has nothing but try to assist hiraiii reaching his fullest academic and athletic potential,” he said. Drummond’s resignaiion is ef fective May 31, theendoftk academic year. Lambert was one of four play ers ruled ineligible by theSWCin November because of questions about summer school courses.

Wakaluk said he was a little stunned. “I was surprised,” Wakaluk said. ”1 found out after practice yesterday. “We will still need Andy. The playoffs are too long. Andy gave me some pointers to watch for. The main thing he told me was to stay relaxed ” The Blues and Stars will play Game 2 of their best-of-7 Western Conference quar terfinal series on Wednesday night in Re union Arena. St. Louis tied the game 3-all early in the third period on a power play goal by Brett Hull and a 60-foot .wrist shot by Phil Housley. But Ledyard delighted the sellout crowd of 16,914 fans by tipping in a Craig Lud wig shot with 3:49 left. Then Klatt putlke game away with 1:37 to go on a perfeci pass from Mike. Modano. St. Louis coach Bob Berry slid his tei', did not start playing tihtif the third peikx citing the Stars’ penalty trditble. i Berry said he had a hunch Wakalul might start in goal. ’We talked about it,” Berry said. "He had a really good year. It didn’t surprise us.” Dave Gagner and Brent Gilchrist scored power play goals in a span of 85 seconds to break open a goalkeeper’s duel for a 2-1 lead in the second period. Gagner banked a shot from behind the net off Curtis Joseph’s pads and Gilchrist scored on a rebound off a Russ Courtnal shot. The Blues retaliated on a 15-foot slap shot by Alexei Kasatonov hut the Stars took a 3-1 lead into the third periodom second goal by Gilchrist who beat Joseph on a point blank shot after a slick bad hand pass from Courtnall. Moog is the 10th winningest goalie in NHL history. But he had struggled to a 24- 20-7 record and an average of 3.27 against in the regular season. Wakaluk was 1 8-9-6 with a 2.64 goal average. Moog got his reputation as a strong playoff goalie when Edmonton won three Stanley Cups in the 1980s.
