  and Communications community.

* Particle Physics Documents and Lattice Field Theory on the World Wide Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   FYI, there is a wealth of information on Particle Physics and Lattice
   Field Theory available on the World Wide Web [WWW], a distributed
   HyperText system (a network of documents connected by links which can
   be activated electronically). Lattice Field Theory aims at [large-scale]
   simulations of particle theories on a space-time lattice. Many
   methods from condensed matter physics and numerical mathematics (fast
   algorithms) are in use in that field. The core documents are hosted
   by the freeHEP information server at freehep.scri.fsu.edu, together
   with much more useful software for High Energy Physics.
     There is a new enlarged section "General Physics" if you aren't
   interested in Lattice Field Theory.  The WWW resource can be
   searched for keywords. The latest version of this resource info
   sheet is available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu in file
   /pub/usenet/news-answers/www/resources/particle-physics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* How to get to the Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to

	   http://info.desy.de/general/users.html

   and look for "Lattice High Energy Physics" in the panel which appears.
   The precise URL is

	   http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice.html

   while the General Physics page (reachable from the Lattice page) is at

	   http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice/Misc.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 Physics documents, enter

           go http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice.html

   This is what you should see now:

* More on Browsing the Web
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW" 
   or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for 
   use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in 
   directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. For vt100 terminals there is a much-used 
   browser called "Lynx" which can be obtained by FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu 
   in the pub/lynx directory. Emacs users will like the "W3" browser, FTP to 
   cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3.
     There is a FTP repository for browser software at info.cern.ch
   (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0 and tkWWW).
     If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW
   documents by e-mail: send Email to test-list@info.cern.ch with one or
   more lines of the form

	     send [http-address]
   e.g. 
	     send http://info.desy.de/user/projects/Lattice.html

   at the bottom of the page you'll find all links of that document listed.   
   Your mail system must have a mail gateway to internet mail.
