Dear Obol'ers,

I have an obol beta version www page on line. This page is for
everyone to contribute to - let me know what you would like to see
there. I can easily add cbc data, etc.

the address:

http://oregon.uoregon.edu/~lbiggs/obol.html

If you need info on web browsing software, e-mail me.

As Skip Russell pointed out:

Please be aware that not everyone on OBOL can take advantage of this.
One needs a "direct" tcp/ip link to the Internet (SLIP or PPP) in
order to surf the WWW. Email-only internet connections won't get you
there.
There IS a neat trick however that any email user can use to get the
text contents of any Web page:

The service is called "Agora", and it's available from the listserv at
Cern. You access it like any other listserv, with a new command:

www [URL]

The [URL], or Unified Resource Locator, is the complete http link to
any web site, so you could request the Whitehouse's home page as:

www http://www.whitehouse.gov

and send it to the address:

listserv at info.cern.ch

What you'll receive back is the text of the document with a number
next to each text item that is a hypertext link on the page. For
example if the second hyptertext link says 'Service', it will have a
[2] next to it and at the bottom of the text you receive will be a
listing showing the URL for that page. You can then request it via
the same mechanism.
