 Merit Network presents
 A Cruise of the Internet
 Version 2.0 for IBM-DOS and DOS compatibles running Windows
 October 26, 1992

 WHAT IS IT?
 Merit's "Cruise of the Internet" is a computer-based tutorial for new
 as well as experienced Internet "navigators."  The Cruise will introduce
 you to Internet resources as diverse as supercomputing, minorities,
 multimedia, and even cooking. It will also provide information about the
 tools needed to access those resources.

 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
 This tutorial will run on any IBM-DOS or DOS-compatible computer which
 is equipped to display 256 colors at an aspect ratio of 640 x 480. To
 run the Cruise tutorial you will need:

    - An IBM-DOS or DOS-compatible computer 
    - XGA- or XGA-compatible adapter set to display 256 colors at 640 x 480
    - Microsoft Windows(TM) version 3.1 running in enhanced mode
    - Approximately 1.5 MB of disk space
    - 2 MB RAM minimum

 HOW TO ACQUIRE IT:
 The Cruise does not require Internet connectivity in order to run, but
 you must have connectivity in order to obtain a copy of it.  It is
 available in two formats: an EXE file, and a compressed ZIP file.  The
 compressed file takes less time to transfer to your PC, but requires that
 you already have the PKUNZIP program on your PC in order to decompress it.

 1. Use Anonymous FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to obtain the installation
    directions and the Cruise:

         ftp nic.merit.edu
         username: anonymous
         password: guest
         ftp> cd internet/resources/cruise.dos
    
    If you do not have PKUNZIP:

         ftp> get meritcrz.txt
         ftp> binary
         ftp> get meritcrz.exe
         ftp> quit
    
    If you do have PKUNZIP:

         ftp> binary
         ftp> get meritcrz.zip
         ftp> quit

 2. If you have PKUNZIP, then type:  pkunzip meritcrz	
 
 3. Read the file MERITCRZ.TXT to get Windows installation instructions.

 Note: If you do not have Internet connectivity from your PC, you may
 still be able to acquire the Cruise.  Talk to your local support staff
 to determine if other machines on your campus have FTP capabilities and
 a way to transfer files to your PC. Or, send your name and address,
 specify that you want the PC version (1.44MB HD diskette only), and
 include a check or money order for $10.00US (payable to "University of
 Michigan") or your VISA/MasterCard number (including the expiration date
 and your signature) to:
              Merit Network, Inc.
              Information Services
              2901 Hubbard, Pod G
              Ann Arbor, MI  48105

 DISTRIBUTION:
 You may copy and distribute the Cruise without charge. You must
 include the MERITCRZ.TXT file with the Cruise and you may not charge
 any fees for the distribution of the Cruise.

 A version of the cruise for Apple Macintosh II, LC, and Quadra
 computers is also available for Anonymous FTP from nic.merit.edu in
 the /internet/resources/cruise.mac directory.
