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!”

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.

Baylor assistant coach resigns after player’s comments
The Associated Press
E
WACO — Denying allegations
that he provided a term paper to a
layer but saying it was ‘in the
est interest of everyone con
cerned,” Baylor assistant coach
Troy Drummond on Sunday an
nounced his resignation.
"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. Ja
son Irvin, another of the font,
said Saturday he too gave investi
f jators information about a papei
te turned in for extra credit.

bled. And won.
He put Darcy Wakaluk in goal Sunday
instead of veteran Andy Moog and the
Dallas Stars responded with a 5-3 victory
over the St. Louis Blues in the first Stanley
Cup hockey game in Texas.
Wakaluk turned back 33 Blues shots in
his first playoff experience and Grant Led-

Gainey said. “I have confidence in both.
Darcy has been playing very well."
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.
