Thanks! You can get 'The Matrix' book, I don't know the editor's name, but I a well known book about Internet, it helps to the beginner user and to the expert ones. You can get the Internet-Tour too, this is a stack for HyperCard (tm) with history, email, ftp and telnet information. You can get this file via anonymous ftp from nnsc.nsf.net:/internet-tour/Internet-Tour. You can read the What is Usenet? file from Chip Salzengerg, you can read it in the news.admin newsgroup or via anonymous ftp from mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx:/pub/Usenet/What_is_Usenet [131.178.1.5]. Hope this helps.. -- Juan Gabriel Ruiz Pinto Internet: Ing. Sistemas Electronicos jgabriel@mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx I.T.E.S.M. Campus Monterrey
