CD-ROM to go on Sale

A new version of the Internet dial-up software, "UNT Internet Dial-up Software 2.0" is scheduled for release by February 15. As an added bonus, the new multi-platform CD-ROM (for Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and MacOS) will include complete Internet training software from CBT Systems, a leader in the Computer-Based Training software industry, for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.

The software includes everything that the UNT Internet Services Committee (a committee internal to the Computing Center) believes to be useful for most users. We've licensed Netscape Communicator 4.03 Internet Access Edition from Netscape Communications, Inc., to which we've added "UNT Specific" customizations, and we've also included installers for E-mail, virus detection, FTP, Usenet newsreader, archiving, and terminal emulation software. Diskette and downloadable versions of the software are not planned, due to the CD-ROM's 300 megabyte size.

An especially useful feature of the software for Windows users is the ability to run the Internet training software included on the CD-ROM. Even the most novice users can easily progress through the training software, which will run on either Windows platform. Each of the ten subject areas contain five or six sections of training material, and can be accessed independently of the other. Users of the software will be able to go to through a couple of the sections and continue where they left off days or even weeks later. It should be very helpful for the UNT community.

The CD-ROM, when it is available, will be sold in the UNT Bookstore's Tradebooks and Software Area, inside the University Union. The suggested retail price for the CD-ROM is $10.00.
