Answer : All Students in ENCE 202 will be expected to have a GLUE (or WAM) computer account. To activate your account, go to Rm 1400 in the Computer Science Services (CSS) building ... and follow the signs.
The Glue system operates under a "Pay-for-Print" policy. To print from a open glue lab, you will need a print account. This account can be used not only for the Glue Open labs, but also all over campus (WAM labs: PG2, Hornbake...). Each page costs $0.10. Users must obtain a Terrapin Express card in Room 1109 South Campus Dining Hall, in the hours 08:00 - 16:00. After doing this, they must get their print account activated in the Laser Print Cost Recovery (LPCR) office, Room 3326 Computer Science Center. The minimum deposit for the Terrapin Express Account is $25. Users can check their print account by telnetting to the address: bank.umd.edu The login id is "teller". The bank will then ask for the print account number and the password. The user can then move funds from the Terrapin Express account to the print account. For further help, please consult the first-aider on duty.
Answer : Dial-up access to the College of Engineering's network of UNIX computers is provided through the Computer Science Center's (CSC) annex service. All dialup lines are set for 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The modem pools that you can access are: (a) (301) 209-0700 -- X2 56kbps modems, 3hr session limit. 40 hrs per 14 days quota limit. (b) (301) 864-2087 -- 33 kbps modems. 15 min express service session limit. 40 hrs per 14 days quota limit. Access from Baltimore (c) (410) 962-8865 -- 28.8 kbps modems, 3hr session limit. (d) (410) 962-8867 -- 28.8 kbps modems, 15 min express session limit. WAM (Workstation at Maryland) accounts are available to all University of Maryland students from the Computer Science Center Consulting Lab (CSS 1400). Bring your University ID and current registration card. To dial in, you will need to connect to the computer or terminal you are using. Run your favorite communications program and set your communications port parameters to 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. vt100 is a good choice for the terminal type if you are not sure what to use. When the connection to the annex service is established, you will see the annex prompt. Issue the following command to initiate a login session: telnet <machine>.eng.umd.edu where <machine> should be replaced by the name of the workstation that you would like to log into.
Answer : Both Netscape 4.7 and MS Internet Explorer 5 should work. You can access them from the "Internet" menu bar at the top of the glue system screen layout.
Answer : Move the cursor to the location bar on your browser and enter the URL: http://www.isr.umd.edu/~austin/ence202.html
Answer : Unfortunatly, this procedure is browser dependent. To save a file on Netscape 4.7, click on the "File" item located in the top left-hand corner of the Netscape Browser. Then select the pull-down menu item that has a title "Save As..." A small window should pop-up requesting information on the location and format for the file containing the saved page. The three file formats are: Text -- Save the the text within the page. Source -- Save the html code for the page, including the text, tags etc.. Postscript -- This saves the file in Postscript format. Postscript is a special computer language understood by many printers, and is used to send text and graphics of all varieties to the printer. You can use this option to save an image of a web page as a Postscript file, which can then be sent to a Postscript printer to reproduce the file on paper. To save a file under Netscape 6.2, use the "print" option.
Answer : The answer to this question will depend on the local configuration of your computer. Generally speaking you will need to give a command like qpr -q name-of-printer name-of-postscript-file.ps See the lab attendant for specific details.
Answer : "vi" and "pico". A summary of basic vi commands is located in the appendix to the class notes. For more information on vi, follow the links to Online Computer Documentation at Berkeley.

Answer : When you log into your Glue account, you are initially in your home directory. Typing: cd ../pub put you in your public directory. This is a directory that the general public has access to, and therefore this is where your home page should be stored. You should put your home page in a file Welcome.html located inside the pub directory. So if your login name is let's say "georgewbush", then the location of your home page will be something like /afs/ ... /georgewbush/pub/Welcome.html (The row of dots indicates that the file system will change from machine to machine) Folks from outside the University of Maryland will be able to view your home page using the URL http://www.glue.umd.edu/~georgewbush/ More Information : Follow the link to "Instructions for Creating a Personal Home Page" from the Internet Resources section of the ENCE 202 home page.

Answer : Here is a list of required and optional content for your home page. Required Content ================ * Images of yourself (...or something similar ....). * A resume, containing career objective, educational background, (including schools attended), work experience, and a summary of your computer skills -- hey, you can list HTML as one of your Web skills. * A summary of classes taken at University of Maryland. * An e-mail link to your computer account. * Signposts that help a visitor navigate the layout of pages in your public_html directory -- one way of doing this is to add an index page to your home page. * Somewhere on your page, you should use a <table> tag. Where appropriate, your page should contain hypertext links to schools, places of of employment etc .... Also, because the purpose of your page is for self promotion, the page layout should tidy and "visually appealing." Learn how to create tables in html, and how to create pages with a good balance of "hot" and "cold" colors. Optional Content ================ * Links to school projects presented in an html format. * Information on your hobbies, country of origin, sports, musical, political interests etc ..... * Links to interesting things on the Internet, such as search engines, tools for WWW development, Java applets .....
Answer : The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program works on the same concept as the file manager as in Windows 3.1. To transfer files: 1. Save the file onto disk. Hard or floppy. 2. Click on the window icon FTP. This icon is usually pink letters on a white background. This icon will open up the "File Transfer Protocol" program. 3. Click on the space that says profile name. You will want to be able to get into glue with your login and password. One of the set ups in the drop list will allow you to do this. 4. Fill in your login where it says user id and password where it asks. 5. Click on OK 6. You will now see a split window. on the left hand side is the computer you are on, and on the right is your computer account. In order for you to put stuff(files, etc.) into your pub account you have to open up that part of your account. Look at the right part of the screen. In the upper right you will see something that looks like .. Click on the two dots. This will take you up a level in your account. 7. Now you should see another list of things. One should be pub. This is you pub account. Click on pub. If you have started your web site you should at least see Welcome.html here. You are now in the pub part ofyour account. 8. To transfer things there you now must look at the upper left of the window. Here you will see things that resemble the computer you are on. For instance [-a-], [-c-], are both drives. [-a-] is your floppy drive and [-c-] is your hard drive. If you have things saved on a floppy click on [-a-] and then you will see all the files that are on your disk. 9. Now highlight the thing you want to transfer by clicking on it. 10. Now that it is highlighted click on the right arrow and the program will transfer that file to your school account. 11. Your done. The file should now be on the right side bottom. If it is there, then it is in your pub account.
Answer : A good starting point is: http://home.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/bg/backgrounds.html For more sites, go to a search engine and do a search on "background pattern"
Answer : If you are running netscape on a PC, then you can simply move the cursor to the background, and click on the right button. A small window will appear asking where you want the background image to be saved. Otherwise, you can retrieve a background color pattern directly from the Netscape cache (the cache stores images and patterns locally on your computer, thereby enhancing performance). The cache can be accessed by typing about:cache in the "Location" window of Netscape.
Answer : Information on the University of Maryland's WWW counter service can be found at: http://death.cs.umd.edu:8080/counter/ Read the section on "usage policy," "registration" and look at the examples for required html. Also see http://www.digits.com
Answer : First, check your html code to make sure you haven't made a silly typo. The html should look something like: E-mail : <a href="mailto:your-login-name@glue.umd.edu"><b> your-login-name@glue.umd.edu </b></a> If your E-mail still doesn't work then perhaps your Netscape browser settings are incorrect. To check your mail preferences go to the Netscape Options menu and button on "Mail and News Preferences". Then select the services page. The SMTP (simple main transfer protocol) setting for outgoing mail should be smtp.glue.umd.edu for glue users, and smtp.isr.umd.edu for users at ISR.
Answer : You can register a domain name for your company by contacting Network Solutions Inc. See www.internic.net. I believe the fee is $100/yr. Nothing happens physically? All this means is that some nameserver in the Internet world will contain an entry for your domain and point it to some IP address. If there is a machine on the Internet with that IP address, then all packets will be forwarded there. Otherwise, nothing will happen. Do I need to purchase a server and have it on for 24 hours/day? No. There are several companies out there that can house your domain for you for a fee. However, you are free to do so if you wish. For more information, see the internic web site www.internic.net and the FAQ at http://rs.internic.net/domain-info/registration-FAQ.html
