The Demon Internet Services - Meta FAQ              Compiled by Michael Bernardi

was created with help from other Demon users.

Introduction
============

This META-FAQ was started by Michael Bernardi <mike@childsoc.demon.co.uk> and
originally posted to demon.ip.support on 14 Sep 1993. Information from many
different sources, including from various other Demon users, has also been
incorporated. It underwent major revision in November 1994 as version 2.0.0.
With increase in he World Wide Web use, I have incorporated more Web sites, than
previously. With the change in the Demon FTP archive structure many of the
references have also had to be changed, including my email address to
mike@dendarii.demon.co.uk. This meant a major revision as version 3.0.0 in
January 1996. Version 4.0.0 was released in September 1996 to correspond with
its third birthday and the creation of a HTML version. This is held at
<URL:http://www.dendarii.demon.co.uk/FAQs/dis-meta_faq.html>
See below for a major revision history.

It is posted to the demon.answers newsgroup every Friday so an archive copy is
always in the news database. It is also posted to demon.ip.support on the first
day of the month. Sometimes this means that two copies appear in the news
database within days of each other. BUT only one copy appears in
demon.ip.support every month.

It is primarily for users of Demon Internet Services, particularly new users (or
those changing computer and/or operating system). However it may be useful to
users of other systems too. This document may have a small bias toward IBM
Compatible (Intel 8x86) PCs, but this is because I use one and so do "most"
people. Hopefully this is not too noticeable.

It should point you to the place, on the Internet in general or ftp.demon.co.uk
in particular, to find the information to solve your problems.

It is in addition to the excellent documentation provided by Demon Internet.

Material on the Internet may have later revision numbers and publication dates
to the ones given. However these are the latest versions that I know about. So
if you find later versions, let me know so I can update this document.

URLs (Universal Resource Locators) have been used to give standard nomenclature
for file/information location. This is the format used by the World Wide Web
(WWW) and the Usenet newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.announce.

"The Demon Internet Services - Meta FAQ"
 by Michael Bernardi <mike@dendarii.demon.co.uk>   [10 Nov 96]
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/doc/general/dis-meta.faq>

The title is as given in the document, where known. This is followed by the
author's name and email address. The [10 Nov 96] is the last edition known. The
URL indicates information, which can be obtained via ftp. It is held at the
Internet anonymous ftp archive site ftp.demon.co.uk. The file is located in the
directory /pub/doc/general and is a file called dis-meta.faq ie this document.
Where known the most up to date archive site is given first, unless a
different/later version can also be found. If a version can be found on the
Demon servers then this is usually indicated too. Angle brackets are used as
delimiters, to aid parsing, if it needs to be converted to HTML format. If the
URL ended /> this would indicate a directory rather than a file.
URL types include news: for usenet newsgroups, ftp:// for ftp (directory or
file), http:// for web pages and mailto: for email addresses (for info). Some
URLs can be rather long and so wrap on to a second line. These line breaks
should be ignored. For more details about URLs read

1) Demon Services
=================

Demon revised all their online documentation in June 1996.
The most important, general documentation (welcome.txt, services.txt and
config.txt), is now regularly posted to the newsgroup demon.answers.

These and other files are found on the Demon FTP server in the following
location. <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/>.
Also see Demon's World Wide Web page at <URL:http://www.demon.net>.

"Useful information about Demon Internet Ltd."

 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/Welcome.txt>
Gives General Information, details on Mail, Browsing and Searching, Support.
Welcome.txt contains VERY useful pointers to using the Demon Service, including
a brief overview of the demon hierarchy of usenet news groups, how to use FTP,
and details on how to report problems. It also gives a brief precis of the
various Internet tools available.
Everyone should read this document, at least when they first join, and also when
new versions are posted.

"Details of Services Offered"
 by Demon Internet <internet@demon.net> Aug 1996 ver 5.01
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/services.txt>
 <URL:http://www.demon.net/faq/services.html>
This file describes the service that Demon deliver. It gives General Information
about Demon and what kind of service Demon supply including Optional Services
such as mail and web forwarding.
NB The Standard Dial-up Account (tenner a month) consists SOLELY of an IP
connection to the Internet, with email forwarding/routing. A recent innovation
is to provide for each customer a virtual web server with 5 meg of space
included in this service. This provides and address of
www.<yournodename>.demon.co.uk, where any HTML pages can be saved. See later
section for more detail on this subject. Apart from these services Demon also
provide access to a local/full Usenet News Server.

"Demon Internet Ltd. Configuration Guide"
 by Demon Internet <internet@demon.net> Sep 1996 ver 5.01
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/config.txt>

This gives a summary of the machines and service names that are provided by
Demon Internet. These are the official names for the services that we provide.

"A list of documents available from Demon"
 by Demon Internet <internet@demon.net> Sep 1996 ver 5.01
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/documents.txt>
 <URL:http://www.demon.net/faq/>
This gives details of where to find documentation from Demon.

Please read all the files found in the Demon documentation directory
<URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/>. These are generally useful, no
matter what type of computer you use. The other files in this directory are also
useful, but they have not been updated for some time and may therefore be out of
date.

Future plans for Demon Internet can be found on Demon's Web page 
<URL:http://www.demon.net>.

Most of these files (and some others) have now been made available via a 
listserver. For details send an email message to the Demon Support Responder
<support@demon.net> with "help" in the subject line, and details of the service
will be sent by return.

Software for most makes of computer and operating system can be found at the
Demon ftp server <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk> for use with Demon Internet.
However this software is USER supported, EVEN if the user is a Demon employee!

This file [dis-meta.faq] & other general Demonite supplied documentation ie not
written by Demon themselves, can be found at
<URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/doc/general/>.

General support can be obtained as detailed in Services.txt as of
June 1996

"

Clarinet News -
"
* Demon do NOT provide a CLARINET news usenet feed.
  CLARINET WILL NOT GIVE DEMON INTERNET A BULK FEED.  They tried to
  arrange this when they started up but Clarinet will not allow it.
  For further information contact info@clarinet.com NOT Demon.

  The problem is that Clarinet does user based accounting and Demon
  does host based accounting.  Unless and until one or the other changes
  its basis of accounting in order to accommodate the other then the
  only way to get a Clarinet feed is from Clarinet.

  This is not Demon Internet Ltd policy, it is Clarinet Inc policy.
  Arguing the toss with Demon Internet staff will change nothing.
  If you feel that arguing about it will change matters, argue with
  the people who have made this policy decision - i.e. Clarinet. *

"Demon Internet Usenet Acceptable Use Policy"
 by Demon NewsMaster <newsmaster@demon.net>   [20 Jul 95]
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/aup>
Participating successfully in the various newsgroups that make up the
Usenet News System is a matter of common sense and courtesy to others.

NET.ABUSE is an abuse *of* Usenet, and not necessarily abuse *on* Usenet. To
qualify as NET.ABUSE, an act must interfere with the net-use of a large number
of people rather than one or two individuals.

This documents what Demon deems to be NET.ABUSE and what Demon will do if this
takes place.

"General FAQ for demon.service"
 by Mark Lowes <dsfaq@flyhmstr.demon.co.uk>   [12 Sep 96]
 <URL:http://www.flyhmstr.demon.co.uk/>
 <URL:news:demon.answers>
This FAQ tries to answer many of the question which appear in the newsgroup
demon.service which is simply a place to sound off about the level of service
provided by Demon Internet. It is *NOT* a support group and you cannot *expect*
a reply from a Demon employee here. However a number of people from Demon post
regularly in answer to service issues, mainly in their own time.


2) Navigating the Internet
==========================

If you want to get the most out of the Internet, it is advisable to read one of
the many guides that have been written. In the last few years a large number of
books on the Internet have been published.

"The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog"
 by Ed Krol <krol@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu>
 Published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc,  <URL:http://www.ora.com>
 ISBN: 1-56592-063-5 at GBP 18.50. 
One of the first, and still the best (IMHO). The 2nd edition of this book was
totally revised at the end of 1995 as:-

"The Whole Internet for Windows 95"
 by Ed Krol and Paula Ferguson
 ISBN: 1-56592-155-0 at GBP 18.50
An electronic update can be found using the Global Network Navigator.  GNN went
online on 1 October 1993, so if you have a World Wide Web (WWW) browser, you can
access it at any time at <URL:http://gnn.com/index.html>
The Whole Internet Catalog is also available electronically at 
<URL:http://gnn.com/gnn/wic/index.html>

"The UK Internet Book"
 by Sue Schofield
 Published by Addison-Wesley, 1995
 ISBN: 0-201-42766-4 at GBP 19.95
This is a very good publication particularly for new users, of Demon Internet
Services. Appendix 10 consists of an earlier version of this document!
A "Revised for 95" edition has been published, (March 95) this includes a disk
of FAQs and other documents, including this one.

"The Internet and World Wide Web: The Rough Guide to the Internet"
 by Angus J Kennedy <mail@roughtravl.co.uk>
 ISBN: 1-85828-198-9 at GBP 5.00
Despite being one of the cheapest Internet books published, given that any book
when published is out of date, it is very informative and useful. given it's
price it is almost a must buy for new users. It was published Nov 95.

"The Internet and World Wide Web explained"
 by John Shelley
 Published by Bernard Babani, April 1996
 ISBN: 0-85934-403-7 at GBP 5.95
This is part of Babani's excellent series of computer books at very reasonable
prices.

Further details about the World Wide Web and Demon's Homepages service can be
found later in this document.


Book lists also appear on the Internet and two of interest, are indicated
below:-

"The Unofficial Internet Book List"
 by Kevin M Savetz <savetz@northcoast.com>   [2 Apr 96]
 <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services/book-list>
 <URL:http://www.northcoast.com/savetz/booklist/>
 <URL:news:alt.internet.services>
 <URL:news:news.answers>
This is a fairly extensive list of books that contain material pertinent to the
use of the Internet. It list over 230 different books!

"Public Dialup Internet Access List"
 by Peter Kaminski <kaminski@netcom.com>   [9 Dec 93]
 <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/pdial>
 <URL:news:alt.internet.access.wanted>
 <URL:news:news.answers>
Public access service providers offering outgoing FTP or telnet. This includes a
list of dialup Internet access sites world wide (includes Demon). ie If you need
Internet access then this will tell you where to get it from, as well as, a
useful book list. This may have gone missing!

Alternatively, if you are too cheap to buy a book :-) there are a number of
useful guides on the Internet itself.

Certain RFC documents, (Requests For Comments, these are the guidelines for
Internet use), have been collected as FYI documents, (For Your Information).
These FYIs are less technical, than most RFCs.
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/internic/rfc/>
 <URL:ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc>
 <URL:mailto:rfc-info@isi.edu> "help: ways_to_get_rfcs"

The Internet Technology Handbook is a collection of the most pertinent RFCs, and
includes many FYIs. A table of contents can be found as
<URL:ftp://ftp.nisc.sri.com/netinfo/internet-technology-handbook-contents>.
There is a copy on the Demon FTP site also
<URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/doc/general/netinfo.txt>

The introduction includes
 *     RFC 1118          The Hitchhiker guide to the Internet
       RFC 1175 FYI:3    A bibliography of internetworking information
       RFC 1594 FYI:4    "New Internet User" Questions
       RFC 1207 FYI:7    "Experienced Internet User" Questions
       RFC 1150 FYI:1    Introduction on FYI notes
       RFC 1983 FYI:18   Internet User's Glossary
       RFC 1087          Ethics and the Internet
NB the FYI are sometimes updated (and thus get new RFC numbers) but their FYI
numbers remain the same!

Other FYI documents of interest are:-
 *     RFC 1402 FYI:10   There's Gold in them thar Networks!
       RFC 1463 FYI:19   FYI on Introducing the Internet
       RFC 1462 FYI:20   FYI on "What is the Internet?"
       RFC 1855 FYI:28   Netiquette Guidelines
       RFC 1635 FYI:24   How to Use Anonymous FTP
       RFC 1580 FYI:23   Guide to Network Resource Tools
       RFC 1178 FYI:5    Choosing a Name for your Computer

The later the RFC number, the more recent the date of publication.
Those marked [*] are particularly recommended.

Another recent development has been the publication of a number of specialist
Internet UK magazines. Some of them have WWW sites and email addresses.

"Demon Despatch"
 by Dispatch Publishing Ltd <magazine@demon.net>
 <URL:http://www.demon.net/news/dispatches/>
This free magazine is sent to all but the most recent, subscribers to Demon,
four times a year. It is self financing and is the best (and probably only
reliable) way to contact all of Demon's user base.

"The Complete Beginner's Guide to The Internet"
 by Mark Neely <accessnt@ozemail.com.au>
 <URL:http://www.ozemail.com.au/~accessnt/>
 <URL:mailto:sales@net-works.co.uk>
This new (and revised for 1997) low cost printed guide explains all the tools
available on the Internet, including BUT not solely the WWW. This second edition
does have greater coverage of the WWW. At only GBP 2.95 it seems very good
value.

".net"
 <URL:mailto:netmag@futurenet.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.futurenet.co.uk/net.html>
Published by Future publications. First appeared in November 1994. A very
stylist UK Internet magazine.

".net directory"
 <URL:mailto:alowe@futurenet.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.futurenet.co.uk/computing/netdirectory.html>
Published by Future publications. As you might expect this is monthly listing of
over 1000 net sites, featured and rated.

"Internet"
 <URL:mailto:internet@computing.emap.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.emap.com/internet/>
Published by EMAP Computing. First appeared in September 1994. It is the
cheapest of the magazines currently available but is well designed and
informative.

"Internet Today"
 Geoff Harris <geoffh@paragon.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.paragon.co.uk/it/index.html>
Published by Paragon Publishing. First appeared in October 1994. Includes
coverage of other comms issues including BBSs.

"NetUser"
 Chris Marke <cmarke@paragon.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.paragon.co.uk/netuser/>
Originally a quarterly magazine from the publishers of Internet and Comms Today,
it first went bi-monthly and has now gone monthly. More of a reference work than
the other monthly magazines.

"wh@t net"
 <URL:mailto:74774.1357@compuserve.com>
New combined Internet and BBS magazine, published by WV Publications &
Exhibitions Ltd. Over use of coloured back grounds makes it difficult to read.
Despite a free Demon starter kit for DOS with the first issue they don't
currently have a REAL Internet email address :-(

"On-Line World"
 <URL:mailto:clive@vixen.demon.co.uk>
Another UK combined Internet and BBS magazine, published by
H G. Publications Ltd.

"the WEB"
 <URL:mailto:TheWeb@idg.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.wcentral.co.uk>
With the expansion of the World Wide Web on the Internet it was only a matter of
time before a specialist Web magazine appeared, and this is it. Despite its name
it does cover other parts of the internet too.

"Webmaster"
 <URL:mailto:geoffh@paragon.co.uk>
The UK's first Internet Business News Magazine.

"Online (The Guardian on Thursday)
 <URL:mailto:online@guardian.co.uk>
 <URL:http://go2.guardian.co.uk>
While not exactly a magazine, The Guardian OnLine, has been published since
19 May 1994, and contains interesting news pertaining to the Internet.

For those who want rather more personal help there are a number of Internet User
Groups and reasonable cost Training Courses. Any recommendations sent may be
added here.


3) Netiquette
=============

Netiquette is an amalgamation of the words network and etiquette. ie it is what
is generally acceptable behaviour on the Internet. Documentation to explain this
netiquette can be found in the Usenet news groups news.newusers.questions and
news.announce.newusers.
It is worth joining these groups, at least for a short while when you start
using usenet. One of the starting points, PRIOR to posting questions to usenet,
is to read the appropriate FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for the newsgroup
being read. You should also read a newsgroup for about a WEEK prior to posting
to it. All these details can be found in the documents detailed below.

"FAQs about FAQs"

"Questions from UseNet and Timo's answers"
 by Timo Salmi <ts@uwasa.fi>   [26 Feb 96]
 <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqn44.zip>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/info//tsfaqn44.zip>
This archive contains the following three files.
  FAQFTP.TXT   FAQs related to FTP, with answers.
  FAQNEWS.TXT  FAQs related to general Internet use, with answers.
  FAQPROGS.TXT FAQs related to programs, with answers.

There is now a demon.answers newsgroup where Demon related FAQs will be
regularly cross-posted (including this one). This is a moderated usenet group
and should NOT have unauthorised material posted to it.
If any of the documents detailed below are posted to demon.answers then this
will appear as a URL.
For new users there is also a demon.ip.support.newuser for "newbie" questions
about Internet connectivity. This is where new users can ask stupid questions
without being flamed!

"FAQ: Absolute Beginners"
 by John Hall <john@jhall.demon.co.uk>
 <URL:ftp:ftp.demon.co.uk//pub/doc/faq/disn/disn.faq>
 <URL:http://www.psp.demon.co.uk/newuserfaq.htm>
This is the FAQ for the newsgroup demon.ip.support.newuser. It is intended to
help all new Demon users, regardless of which computer or Internet access
software they use. However, since some 90% of the questions asked on
demon.ip.support.newuser come from PC users running Windows, the FAQ inevitably
reflects this to some extent.

By now (having read the above documents) you will realise the importance of
FAQs. If you read the FAQ for a particular newsgroup then (hopefully) you won't
post the same question as everyone else for the 1000th time!


4) Software & Help available
============================

Where can help, on getting connected to Demon, finding and configuring your
software be found? The first area to look for help, is in the various
documentation available on the Demon archive site.
The next area to request help is the SPECIFIC demon newsgroup. If all else fails
a phone call to the support line should resolve the problem.

5) Important FTP sites & why!
=============================

The most important FTP site for Demon users is ftp.demon.co.uk! Demon has
started to mirror certain well used ftp sites (or partial sites). The largest is
the SimTel Mirror described below.

Many other archive sites are mirrored at sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk. As Demon has a
direct line to this site, it is worth looking here, prior to searching across
the atlantic link (saving bandwidth).

"Material mirrored at Imperial College"
 <URL:mailto:wizards@src.doc.ic.ac.uk>
 <URL:ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/>
There is no documentation on what is mirrored at Imperial College, so if you
can't find it ask the wizards.

"Anonymous FTP: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Site Listing"
 by Perry Rovers <Perry.Rovers@IAEhv.NL>   [13 Oct 96]
 <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/doc-net/ftp-list.zip>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/info/ftp-list.zip>
 <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/ftp-list/>
 <URL:news:news.answers>
Everything you ever wanted to know about FTP, and an exhaustive list of sites to
access.

"A Usenet FAQ Archive"
 by <news-answers-request@mit.edu>
 <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/>
This is an important site as it keeps an archive of all FAQs posted to the
usenet newsgroup news.answers. The directory structure mirrors the name of the
news groups. The news.answers news groups holds the FAQs under their archive
name as given in their header. See above for details on how to get these
documents. ("How to get FAQ lists" by Stan Brown).

Since most users of Demon's services are MsDos and Windows users, I include the
following material.
"A list of MsDos FTP sites and moderators"
 by Timo Salmi <ts@uwasa.fi> & Rhys Weatherley <rhys@fit.qut.edu.au>
 <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/moder59.zip>   [19 Oct 96]
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/info/moder59.zip>

"Demon Garbo Mirror"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/garbo/>
The Demon ftp site has now added an OFFICIAL Garbo mirror which includes the
directories mac, next, ql, unix, linux, pc and windows.

"Demon SimTel Mirror"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtel/>
The Demon ftp site has now added an OFFICIAL SimTel mirror which includes the
directories msdos, win3, nt and vendors.

"The SimTel MsDos and Windows Archive"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/win3/>
"Mirror Sites of SimTel Archive"
 <URL:ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/packages/simtel/msdos/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtel/msdos/>
 <URL:ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/packages/simtel/win3/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtel/win3/>
This large archive of both MsDos and Windows programs is mirrored at Imperial
College, this is therefore the best place to obtain material. Note the original
site WSMR-SIMTEL20.army.mil closed on 30 September 1993. Hence the reference to
simtel20 which sometimes occur. It is no longer maintained by Keith Petersen.

"Demon SimtelNet Mirror"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtelnet/>
The Demon ftp site has now added an OFFICIAL SimtelNet mirror which includes the
directories msdos, win3, and win95.

"The Simtel.Net MsDos and Windows Archive"
 by Keith Petersen <w8sdz@simtel.net>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win3/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/>
"Mirror Sites of Simtel.Net Archive"
 <URL:ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/>
 <URL:ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/packages/simtelnet/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtelnet/>
 <URL:ftp://micros.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/simtelnet/>
Simtel.Net, located at Walnut Creek CDROM, is the origin point of Keith
Petersen's world-wide distribution network for Shareware, Freeware, and Public
Domain programs for MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95.

This large archive of both MsDos and Windows programs is mirrored at Imperial
College, this is therefore the best place to obtain material. Note the original
site WSMR-SIMTEL20.army.mil closed on 30 September 1993. Hence the reference to
simtel20 which sometimes occur, on which this collection is based.

NB Most of the ftp servers are unix systems, which means that filenames are case
sensitive. Other system may be used including Novell NetWare file servers, DEC
VAXs, IBM OS/2, more often Windows NT and even KA9Q can also be found.

Unix boxes usually have a master listing of their contents called ls-lR
(non-unix people would find this immediately intuitive :) and may look for
files.txt or something like that). Note some archive sites keep annotated
indexes, including Demon, with filenames something like 00INDEX.TXT.


6) The World Wide Web
=====================

The World Wide Web is the main growth area of the Internet. It is now a
favourite method of information transmission. The World Wide Web was originally
developed in Switzerland by members of CERN. Further details of the Web can be
found at <URL:http://www.w3.org>

To use the Web you must have browser software installed on your computer or have
access to a lynx client. For those with an IBM compatible PC the Windows
Netscape browser is currently the most popular. (Though Netscape is also
available for unix and Mac). Microsoft have also developed a browser for Windows
users called Internet Explorer, this is becoming more popular as it is freely
available while Netscape is generally paid for. While text browsers appeared
first, (such as lynx) ones supporting a GUI are now favoured.

Information on how the World Wide Web started and how it was originally used,
can be found in:-
"World Wide Web / A Guide to Cyberspace"
 by Kevin Hughes <kevin@pulua.hcc.hawaii.edu>   [9 Oct 93]
 <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/www/guide>
Note - Although interesting in places the above document has a very dated
feel to it. The World Wide Web has evolved considerably since this document was
written and should be read with that in mind.

There are now a number of search engines appearing which allow users to find
information more easily.

"Lycos"
 <URL:http://www.lycos.com>
Powerful search engine for finding stuff on the net. One of the best known.

"Yahoo!"
 <URL:http://www.yahoo.com>
Yahoo is both a directory and a search engine. All entries in the Yahoo!
database have been entered by hand.

"AltaVista"
 <URL:http://altavista.digital.com>
The AltaVista spider searches both the Web and News. It's very powerful.

"Infoseek"
 <URL:http://www.infoseek.com>
One of the best search engines on the net.

"Yell"
 <URL:http://www.yell.co.uk>
Yell is the definitive guide to UK sites.

"CUSI at Demon Internet"
 <URL:http://http.demon.net/external/cusi.html>
CUSI provides a common interface to most of the search engines on WWW.

"Futurenet Magazine"
 <URL:http://www.futurenet.co.uk>
While this site is an Internet resource for readers of the various Futurenet
magazines, it is also one of the most popular European sites and contains many
useful links to other sites.

Demon Homepages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As from August 1996 Demon have provided all their dial-up customers with 5 Meg
of web space as part of the "Tenner-a-Month" package.
This provides a virtual web page of www.<yournodename>.demon.co.uk which can be
used for anything, provided it accords with Demon's AUP see below.

"Acceptable use policy for customer homepages"
 by Demon Internet <internet@demon.net> Aug 1996 Rev 5.00
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/aupwww.txt>
 <URL:http://www.demon.net/www/homepages/aup.html>
Prior to setting up your web pages you MUST read this document.

"Demon's Web Services FAQ"
 by Demon Internet <internet@demon.net> [8 Aug 96]
 <URL:http://www.demon.net/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/demon/doc/wwwfaq.zip>
This gives details about both the commercial and homepages web service.
Including the homepages FAQs. Included is a pointer to various tutorials, how to
setup your website, including how to upload via FTP. The zip archive allows all
these pages to be browsed offline.

"demon.homepages.authoring FAQ"
 by Chris Wood <chris.wood@ccgadv.demon.co.uk>
 <URL:news:demon.homepages.authoring>
This FAQ was started at the beginning of September 1996 to try and reduce the
large number of repetitive questions that started appearing in the newly created
news group demon.homepages.authoring when Demon provided the free homepages.

"Beginners Guide to HTML and CGI Scripting"
 by Mark Cross <www@devon.demon.co.uk>
 <URL:http://www.demon.co.uk/dita/new2html.html
Includes specially written material and pointers to useful site around the net.

There are a number of books available explaining how to use HTML. Unfortunately
almost as soon as they are published they become out of date (as do most
Internet books). The following are some examples, but they are all much of a
muchness!

"HTML for Dummies"
 by Ed Tittel & Steve James <HTML4dum@zilker.net>
 Published by IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.  May 95
 ISBN: 1-56884-330-5 at GBP 28.99
This is a fairly comprehensive beginners guide to designing a site and coding it
into HTML.

"Teach Yourself HTML Publishing on the World Wide Web"
 by Mac Bride <macbride@tcp.co.uk>
 Published by Hodder & Stoughton 1996
 ISBN: 0-340-67035-5 at GBP 6.99
 <URL:http://www.tcp.co.uk/~macbride/>
This is probably the cheapest book on HTML publishing. However it has a number
of idiosyncrasies. It assumes that the reader is using a PC with Windows, but
doesn't explicitly say so. Also give how quickly Internet books date, it seem
unhelpful to find nothing more specific than the year.


Suggestions to extend this section are welcomed.


7) Other Important stuff
========================

"PGP: Pretty Good Privacy - file encryption"
 by Phil Zimmerman <prz@acm.org>
 <URL:http://sun1.bham.ac.uk/N.M.Queen/pgp/pgp.html>
 <URL:http://www.prairienet.org/~jalicqui/pgpfaq.txt>
 <URL:ftp://sable.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp/pc/dos/pgp262i.zip>
 <URL:ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1991.txt>
PGP is a program which uses public key cryptography. It's a way of encrypting
email messages (or any documents) such that they can be read only by the person
they're addressed to. The addressee can also be sure that you wrote the message
and that it hasn't been tampered with.

File formats in use on the Internet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Files in a number of different formats can be found all over the Internet. This
section details the most likely that you will meet, and where and how to convert
them to useable formats. Some file formats are specific to a particular machine
(eg Spark on the Archimedes), others are most common on a particular platform,
but are also available for other systems (LHA is popular with Amiga users, and
is also available for the PC/MSDOS format).

"Compression and Archival Software Summary"
 by David Lemson <lemson@uiuc.edu>   [5 Mar 95]
 <URL:ftp://ftp.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/doc/pcnet/compression>
This details the various formats available, and sites where appropriate decoding
software can be found.

"Info on ARC, ARJ, LZH, ZIP, ZOO, LBR, Compressed & Squeezed files"
 by Keith Petersen <w8sdz@SimTel.Coast.NET>   [20 Jun 95]
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/starter/00-files.doc>

"comp.compression Frequently Asked Questions"
 by Jean-loup Gailly <jloup@chorus.fr> or <gzip@prep.ai.mit.edu>   [May 96]
 <URL:ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/compression-faq/>
 <URL:http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/compression-
faq/top.html>
 <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/doc-net/faqc9605.zip>
This is a fairly exhaustive list of Questions and Answers about compression
software.

"FILENAME.ZIP - PKZip/Info-Zip Format"
 by Info-Zip Group <zip-bugs@wkuvx1.wku.edu>
 <URL:http://quest.jpl.nasa.gov/Info-ZIP/
 <URL:ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/unzip52.zip>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/unzip52.tar.Z>
 <URL:ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/misc/unix/unzip52.zip>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/simtelnet/msdos/arcers/unz520x.exe>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/zip/pkz204g.exe>
UnZip is an extraction utility for archives compressed in .zip format (also
called "zipfiles"). Although highly compatible with PKWARE's PKZIP and PKUNZIP
utilities for MS-DOS (in addition to Info-ZIP's own Zip program), the primary
objectives have been portability and non-MSDOS functionality.
The MS-Dos version of unzip is supplied with the FULL Demon installation DIS
package. It is CopyLeft and my be freely copied. You may of course use Phil
Katz's PkUnZip which started the whole Info-Zip effort, but this is shareware
and must be purchased.

"filename.gz - GNU Compress Format/GZip Format"
 by Jean-loup Gailly <jloup@chorus.fr>
 <URL:ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/misc/unix/>
 <URL:ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtelnet/msdos/compress/gzip124.zip>
GNU Zip is a compression program, (like compress, see below) and is often used
in conjunction with the unix TAR archiver. It is CopyLeft and may be freely
copied.

"filename.Z - Unix Compress Format"
This file format CAN also be extracted using GZip using the -d parameter. There
are also various COMPRESS programs which do the same thing.

"filename.tar.Z Unix TAR + Compress Format"
 by Timo Salmi <ts@uwasa.fi>   [20 Nov 95]
 <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/unix/ts/tarzfaq.txt>
This answers the question "What are files with a tar.Z or tar.gz extension?" and
"How do I handle them?"

"UUCODE - 7 bit file encoder/decoder"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/uucode/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/msdos/decode/uuexe651.zip>
UUCODE is a method of transferring 8 bit data via a 7 bit path. Made up of
UUENCODE and UUDECODE. Versions are available for most systems. It is often used
for sending binary material by mail or by posting to usenet newsgroups
(*.binaries.*) which allow such postings.

"MIME - 7 bit file encoder/decoder"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/uucode/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/decode/mime64d.zip>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/msdos/decode/base64_5.zip>
Newer standard than UUCODE, but it does the same job. Built in to many email
packages.

"MPACK - a combined UUCODE/MIME encoder/decoder"
 by John G Myers <jgm+@cmu.edu>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/mpack/>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/decode/mpack15d.zip>
Versions of this combined encoder/decoder are available for unix, pc, os2, mac,
amiga and archimedes.

"BIN HEX - Macintosh 7 bit file encoding"
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/uucode/binhex.exe>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/dos/apps/uucode/hex2bin.lzh>
 <URL:ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/msdos/mac/binhex13.zip>
These are DOS programs to decode material found in macintosh binhex format. The
source file MUST have an extension of HQX to decode at all.


8) And finally...
=================

Thanks to those people who have written the documents pointed to by this
Meta-FAQ. Thanks to those who pointed out to me where this information could be
found and finally thanks to those, too numerous to mention, for encouraging me
to continue with the future maintenance of the Demon Internet Services - Meta
FAQ. I have to mention three people in particular,
Richard Clayton <richard@turnpike.com>, for encouragement when I started.
Sue Schofield for including an earlier version of this document in her book,
making me realise that it needed urgent reformatting :-), and finally Chris
Salter <chris@loncps.demon.co.uk> for converting it to HTML format for me.
