C It's also extremely useful for detecting portscanner attacks like C those perpetrated by ISS and SATAN. klaxon is useful in place of C any tcp or udp service port where you would not suspect activity. C For Solaris2.X machines it will also work on the rpc.rexd port. C C * tocsin, a companion to klaxon. Tocsin logs port scan connections C like klaxon, but does it on a per network basis. You only need C one tocsin process running per shared subnet. Tocsin uses packet C filters and runs out of the box on SunOS and Solaris systems to C catch port scanning attempts. Tocsin also differs in that it is C specifically designed to catch TCP SYN probe attempts. These are C probes that send a SYN packet to the target port. If it received C a response, there is a service there, if not, there is none. If it C does receive a response the normal procedure would be to acknowledge C the response and complete the 3 way handshake. However, the probes C do not acknowledge and are therefore undetected by host-based daemon C or inetd software (such as klaxon). C C * juke, a device driver that was developed by modifying the Solaris2 C sst drivers as part of the SCSA packages put together by Patrick C Stirling. It is very useful for manipulating a tape jukebox from C within backup scripts. C C * qps, a Solaris2 utility that just gives you a quick process listing C of all processes on a machine. It supplies username, tty, proc C name, %cpu util, %mem util, and process_id. It's faster than ps C because that's all it does, and it only looks in procfs. C C * nettools, a useful collection of network utilities that will: C C 1. show packets per second on an interface C (Ethernet/fddi) C C 2. break down packets per second by protocol type C C 3. allow you to toggle between raw packets and C % utilization C C * Software to drive APC SmartUPS and properly shutdown the host after a C time period when the power goes down. Includes instructions for C building an APC cable. T The X Consortium U http://www.x.org/consortium/xwindowsystem.html C Has release notes and instructions for getting the X Window System.

It supports every remote-mail C protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, C all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN. It can even support IPv6 and IPSEC. C C Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it via C SMTP, so it can then be be read by normal mail user agents such as elm(1) C or Mail(1). It allows all your system MTA's filtering, forwarding, C and aliasing facilities to work just as they would on normal mail. C C Fetchmail offers better security than any other Unix remote-mail client. C It supports APOP, KPOP, OTP, Compuserve RPA, and IMAP RFC1731 encrypted C authentication methods to avoid sending passwords en clair. C C Fetchmail can be used as a POP/IMAP-to-SMTP gateway for an entire C DNS domain, collecting mail from a single drop box on an ISP and C SMTP-forwarding it based on header addresses. (We don't really recommend C this, though, as it may lose important envelope-header information. C ETRN or a UUCP connection is better.) C C Fetchmail can be started automatically and silently as a system daemon C at boot time. When running in this mode with a short poll interval, C it is pretty hard for anyone to tell that the incoming mail link is not C a full-time "push" connection. C C Fetchmail is easy to configure, fast, and lightweight. It packs all C its features in less than 90K of core on a Pentium under Linux. T Exim mail transfer agent U http://www.exim.org/ C Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of C Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is freely C available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In style C it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more extensive, and in C particular it has some defences against mail bombs and unsolicited junk C mail in the form of options for refusing messages from particular hosts, C networks, or senders. # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S Linux G Favorites W LinuxLinks -- weekly news, FAQs and HOWTOs, portal sites T Linux Weekly news U http://lwn.net/ C Nice wrapup of the week in Linux.

We index only Linux related web C pages, and in addition to searching in the robot index, we'll C look up the keywords in our resource listings as well. C C The engine uses heuristics to exclude most pages that aren't relevant to C Linux. Currently the engine is in early beta, with a small index C of about 75.000 documents as of 11th June, and growing at a rate of a few C thousand documents pr. day. It might seem small, but the C index contains most of the important Linux sites already, and is getting quite C useful. C C Since we track what subjects that are most popular to search for, you also C help us improve the resource listing by testing the engine. C C As soon as the indexer is well enough tested, we'll increase indexing speed C dramatically (from 10 documents at a time currently, to C about 300).

T iBoogie U http://www.iboogie.tv/ C iBoogie allows you to select results from the web, products or C services from the "BuyWeb," or limit your queries to the deep web, C images, video or audio. It also performs real-time clustering C of results, creating a list of categories related to your search C terms for easy browsing. T InfoGrid U http://www.infogrid.com C In a compact format, InfoGrid provides direct links to major C search sites and topical web sites in different categories. C Meta search and news searching is also offered. T Infonetware RealTerm Search U http://www.infonetware.com C This site is primarily designed to demonstrate classification C technology from Infogistics. It's a meta search engine, and it C does topical classification of results. However, it is unique in C that you can select several different topics, then "drill down" C to see results from all of them, rather than being restricted to C the results from only one topic. T Ithaki U http://www.ithaki.net/indexu.htm C Ithaki is probably the most "global" of all meta search engines, C available in 14 languages and offering more than 35 different C categories for limiting your search. In addition, Ithaki offers C country specific search, querying only local search engines rather C than the regional versions of the major search engines. T IxQuick U http://www.ixquick.com/ C Meta search engine that ranks results based on the number of C "top 10" rankings a site receives from the various search engines. T Kartoo U http://www.kartoo.com C If you like the idea of seeing your web results visually, this C meta search site shows the results with sites being interconnected C by keywords. It also presents a thematic map that shows the C most important sites and the linkage relationships among the C various results. T ProFusion U http://www.profusion.com C Brings back listings from several major search engines as well as C "Invisible Web" resources. Formerly based at the University of C Kansas, the site was purchased by search company Intelliseek in C April 2000. T qbSearch U http://www.qbsearch.com C Want to get multiple pages of results from a search engine C combined into one single page? QB-Search will quickly join up C to 200 pages of listings from major search engines. T Query Server U http://www.queryserver.com/web.htm C Search against major web-wide search engines, as well as major C news, health, money and government search services. T SearchOnline U http://www.searchonline.info/ C SearchOnline is a relatively new service, but one that offers C a highly flexible and customizable interface to a wide variety C of information sources, ranging from general web results to C specialized search resources in a number of subject specific C categories. T Vivisimo U http://vivisimo.com/ C Enter a search term, and Vivismo will not only pull back matching C responses from major search engines but also automatically organize C the pages into categories. Slick and easy to use. T How to choose a search engine or directory U http://library.albany.edu/internet/choose.html C You can select based on C * Fields & File Types C * Search logic, options, or results C * Specialty Searches T ILOR U http://www.ilor.com C Almost as good as Google. T FAST Search engine U http://www.alltheweb.com C Search engine FAST is not as well known as Google, but it's worth a look. C FAST has several different searches, including news, pictures, videos, C MP3 files, and Web search. Search results include title, excerpt, URL, C page size, and non-HTML results. C C If you phrase your question like a natural language query, FAST C seems smart enough to often give appropriate results. The simpler C the question the better. ("How tall is a giraffe" worked okay but C "Who is the world's oldest person" got variable results.) C C FAST offers an advanced search, which allows you to search for keywords C in the title, text, URL, or link to URL. You can restrict your searches C by domain. You can restrict your pages to those updated within a C certain time range, or by the size of the page. C C News search results include the main headline linked to the article, C excerpt, the URL of the source, size of the article, and time it was C last indexed. T CNET Review: AskMe Oracle U http://www.askme.com/ C Kim Wimpsett, 1/18/2001 C C Like all advice-based Web sites, AskMe is essentially an encyclopedia C of readily available information on a slew of topics. The site is C easy to use and takes advantage of about 150,000 experts. Although the C so-called experts are actually volunteers who aren't required to submit C to background checks, the site's answers were consistently accurate C and informative in our tests--much more so than those of its free C competitor, Allexperts. C C Categories Galore: To ask a question, you can either search for an expert C by topic (just type keywords in the search box at the top of the page) C or browse through the 14 categories listed on the Web site's home page. C The categories are broad, ranging from Arts & Leisure to Travel. C Within each category can be dozens of subcategories. For example, C under Sports & Recreation, there are nearly 70 specific sports listed, C from aerobatics to yoga. Click one of these links, and you may find C still finer breakdowns. However, not all the subcategories listed C actually have corresponding experts, so you may run into some dead ends. C You'll see a list of experts once you choose your first subcategory. C C Waiting for Answers: Once you dig down to the desired category, AskMe C lists that topic's experts, including biographies, user ratings, and the C number of questions the expert has answered. Click an expert's name, C and up pops a form with which you submit your question. Eventually, C you'll receive an email with a link to your answer, and you can rate C the expert after you read the answer. This method has some flaws. C Unlike Keen.com and Exp, which let you ask questions in real time, C AskMe doesn't indicate if the expert you've chosen is actually online C at that moment. That means that you could wait hours or days for an C answer, depending on the diligence of the volunteer expert. Still, C in our tests, an expert never failed to respond--unlike at Exp--and C the answers were consistently accurate. C C Honor-System Knowledge: AskMe claims access to 150,000 registered C experts, but the site does not verify their credentials. The experts C are volunteers, and many are hobbyists in their fields, so you must C rely on the user ratings to gauge an expert's advice. Surprisingly, C this nonscientific method seems to work. The answers we received at C AskMe were consistently on target and in line with past reader survey C responses. See our questions and answers section for details. C C Free for the Asking: But AskMe is worth the wait, not only because C the answers are usually correct, but also because the service is free. C If you get a vague answer, there's no harm in asking again. You can C even ask several experts the same question with the click of a button, C so you increase your odds of getting an informative answer. Overall, C AskMe is the best in a hit-or-miss field. T Open Directory project U http://www.dmoz.org/ C The Open Directory Project's goal is to produce the most comprehensive C directory of the web, by relying on a vast army of volunteer editors. C Lots of sites, nicely organized. T IQ seek U http://www.iqseek.com/ C Bills itself as the "Smart Way to Search!" Fast, good results. T Metahoo U http://www.metahoo.com/ C Good results. T IX Quick U http://www.ixquick.com/ C Bills itself as the world's most powerful meta-search engine. T Metacrawler U http://www.metacrawler.com/ C Here's a useful meta search. T Northern Light U http://www.northernlight.com/ C Here is one of the most powerful. T Infind U http://www.infind.com C Here's a nifty one--good multi-engine search with good organization. T Go 2 Net U http://www.go2net.com C This one is powerful. T Colossus U http://www.searchenginecolossus.com/ C ALL the search engines from all over the world. T Raging U http://www.raging.com/ C Here is a new one that is fast and robust. T All The Web U http://www.alltheweb.com/ C Unbelievable speed. T Look Smart U http://www.looksmart.com/ C Reliable. T Go.com U http://www.go.com/ C Another good one. T Goto.com U http://www.goto.com/ C Another good multi-engine search. T Ask Me U http://www.askme.com/ C Q&A list, about 300,000 answers on all sorts of topics. T Information Please U http://www.infoplease.com/ C Lots of different collections: business, living, computers, etc. T Answers.com U http://www.answers.com/ C Shows top questions, plus links to answers. T Electric Library U http://www.elibrary.com/ C Advertises itself as a research site: C C * Magazines C * Maps C * Books & Reports C * Newspapers & Newswires C * Transcripts (Radio, TV & Govt.) C * Pictures T The library index U http://www.libdex.com/ C Libdex is a worldwide directory of C * library homepages, C * web-based OPACs, C * Friends of the Library pages, and C * library e-commerce affiliate links. C The directory does not include links to terminal-based OPACs. T Ask Jeeves U http://www.askjeeves.com/ C Ask Jeeves allows you to ask a question in plain English and, after C interacting with you to confirm the question, Ask Jeeves takes you C to one and only one web site that answers your question. C C Other search engines (such as Alta Vista, Excite, Lycos, Infoseek, C and Hotbot) match keywords in your search request to an index of C words derived by cataloging almost every word found on the Internet. C These sites return a list of "page hits" and it is up to the user to C surf the sites and refine the search in order to find the desired C information. This can be a long and frustrating process. Yahoo, C by contrast, is a comprehensive categorized directory of sites that C allows a user to find all sites of a certain type. However, like C the other search engines, users of Yahoo must typically surf through C multiple sites to find what they need. C C With Ask Jeeves, unlike other search engines, users type in a question C in plain English and then Ask Jeeves presents a list of matched C questions (usually just a few). After the user selects the closest C match, Ask Jeeves takes them directly to a site that was selected C by the Ask Jeeves research staff as being an appropriate answer to C the question. The user is never presented with a dreaded response C such as "2348 matches to your query"! For example, if you ask "Who C is the king of Siam?", Ask Jeeves would respond with "Who is the head C of state of Thailand?". When you click on that question, Ask Jeeves C takes you to a particular page on a site that answers the question. C C Ask Jeeves uses sophisticated natural language processing to understand C and match users' questions to an extensive knowledge base. The Ask C Jeeves knowledge base consists of thousands of question templates and C millions of researched answer links to web sites. Examples of question C templates are "Why is the sky blue?" and "Where can I find a map of C [Name of City]?". In the first example, there is only one answer link C matched to the question, in the second example, there are thousands C (one for each city). C C The Ask Jeeves research staff selects questions and then searches the C Internet for the best sites that answer the questions. This saves C users countless hours of searching on their own. The Ask Jeeves C knowledge base is built by humans, not by software "spiders" and, C therefore, each answer link is guaranteed to be relevant to the C question asked. T Dogpile multi-engine search U http://www.dogpile.com/ C Very readable input screen. C When doing Web searches, looks through: C * AltaVista C * Excite C * Excite Guide C * GoTo.com C * InfoSeek C * Lycos C * Lycos' A2Z C * Magellan C * PlanetSearch C * Thunderstone C * WebCrawler C * What U Seek C * Yahoo! C When doing Usenet searches, looks through: C * AltaVista C * Dejanews C * Dejanews' old Database C * Reference C When doing FTP searches, looks through: C * Filez C * FTP Search (first word only) C When doing newswire searches, looks through: C * Excite News C * Infoseek NewsWires C * Yahoo News Headlines T Oneseek multi-engine search U http://www.oneseek.com/ C Choice of colors on main screen makes it VERY hard to read. C Will do two or three searches and display the results in two or three C side-by-side frames. Use "dogpile" or "inference" before this. T Yahoo U http://www.yahoo.com C The best-known mega site/meta index. Created by two Stanford students C in order to keep track of their favorite sites in the early days of C the Web, it has grown into a publicly traded company and is still the C defining index on the Internet. Yahoo covers not only the Web but other C Internet tools that transfer information including Usenet newsgroups. C C It houses a hierarchal arrangement of categories to organize thousands C of Web sites, so if you perform a broad search for "cats," for example, C Yahoo will find references to cats across all its categories. At its C core, Yahoo is a giant list and is a great place to begin a search when C you don't know where else to begin. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Recommended Search Tools Page U http://infopeople.berkeley.edu:8000/src/srctools.html C Page with the search forms for the best search engines and subject C directories. T InFoPeople Project U http://infopeople.berkeley.edu:8000/ C Good search page. T Argus Clearinghouse U http://www.clearinghouse.net/ C A selective collection of topical guides which describe and evaluate C Internet-based information resources. Best when you really want to C delve into a subject. Searchable and rated. T NewsNet Internet Resources U http://www.ala.org/acrl/resrces.html C This ongoing series of annotated Internet bibliographies (webliographies) C from one of the American Library Association Divisions, College and C Research Libraries, is excellent. Current topics covered include: C Ready Reference, Chemistry, American and International Studies, Biology, C and Agriculture. T Scholarly Internet Resource Collections U http://lib-www.ucr.edu/ C More than 10,000 well-selected and described links to scholarly resources C on the Internet. Searchable within each major topic. Maintained by C University librarians in California. T Internet Encyclopedia U http://clever.net/cam/encyclopedia.html C Another way of categorizing information available on the Internet. C Maintained by two librarians in Texas, this excellent directory of sites C is in two parts: MacroReference - pointers to large areas of knowledge C and MicroReference - information on and links to specific topics. T Index to the Internet U http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/InternetIndex/ C Reincarnation of the Berkeley Public Library Index to the Internet. C Best for public library users. Listings are annotated and evaluated C for their information potential. Now searchable! Another service of C the Digital Library SunSITE. T The Mining Company U http://home.miningco.com/ C A major challenger to Yahoo and all other keepers of Internet Directories. C This site already has several hundred annotated guides to areas of C interest on the Internet, each maintained by a "guide" with subject C expertise. There are design problems: you have to load graphics to use C the site, its frames interface keeps you captive, and all the animated C graphic ads and running applets might give you a headache. C C The Mining Company went on-line in April of 1997, and by September C of 1997, over five hundred Guides are active, in fields ranging C from journalism to medicine to soap opera fanatics to gardeners C to weavers. The specialists are loosely organized in groups called C "Hubs," including Arts and Entertainment, Careers and Education, C Hobbies and Games, Sports, and Travel. Approximately 60 individuals C are in the Computing/Science Hub, the majority of whom are either C scientists in their respective fields, or technical writers with C experience in those fields. Each Guide maintains contact with C researchers in the field through electronic discussion lists and C Usenet newsgroups, in addition to traditional news sources such C as scientific journals and conferences. In addition, each Guide C regularly searches the Internet for new sites, using a variety of C search engines, link compilations, and other Web sites available C to him or her. C C The Web sites maintained by the Guides are identical in format, C both to promote ease of use by the consumers, and to allow the C specialists to concentrate on gate-keeping endeavors. Each Guide C provides a front page, updated weekly, dozens of resource pages C with annotated links (one Guide has over 200 resource pages), and C a monthly "best of the net" list. In addition, Guides provide a C weekly feature article, such as a commentary, book review, analysis, C or discussion of some topic in their field of endeavor. The Guide C also answers questions from the users, and maintains electronic C relationships with the content producers and Webmasters in the field. T WWW Virtual Library U http://www.w3.org/pub/DataSources/bySubject/Overview.html C More like a collection of indexes and libraries than a single C library, and each subject heading is maintained by a different volunteer. C Quality varies as a result, but you can find hundreds of topics with C thousands of links. C C The WWW Virtual Library was created to keep track C of the many Web sites blossoming almost overnight. Users can browse C the categories alphabetically, by popularity, or by other methods. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T My Virtual Reference Desk U http://www.refdesk.com:80/ C Doesn't organize the Net on such a grand level as Yahoo, but it C is valuable to researchers. Divided into categories called Virtual Facts C on File, My Virtual Encyclopedia, My Virtual Newspaper, and My Search C Engines, it enables you to reach many links with very few mouse clicks. C That's especially nice when you're in a hurry and don't want to waste C time clicking through topic and subtopic screens. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Galaxy U http://galaxy.einet.net/galaxy.html C Another large site that indexes the Web, with some Gopher and telnet C links as well. You can search Galaxy's content in three different fields C or simply browse the index, which, like My Virtual Reference Desk, seems C more concerned with linking to practical sites than to entertaining ones. C Both sites still manage to slip in links to the inane. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Internet Navigation Aids U http://galaxy.einet.net/galaxy/Reference/Internet-Navigation-Aids.html C Links broken down by: C * Reference C * Collections C * Commercial Organizations C * Other Internet directories T Essential Links U http://www.el.com C Offers many categories and search tools for Web research. The site C looks a little complicated at first but is easy to follow. The topical C links might be the most useful area for researchers looking for news C on current events. Like Yahoo, Essential Links has eschewed graphics C for speed. It's a good trade-off. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T The Categorical Catapult U http://www.clark.net/pub/cargui/links.html C Offers 160 categories with thousands of links. Graphical and push-button C driven, its initial categories are a little more sparse than other C mega sites, but it's easy to use and does a good job within the subject C listings it does offer. Clicking on Law, for instance, will take you C to six subtopics: associations, general, law firms, law journals, law C schools, and legal statutes. C C NOT FOUND C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T The Mother-of-all BBS U http://wwwmbb.cs.colorado.edu/~mcbryan/bb/summary.html C Huge list covering many topics. The goal is to include sites from large C companies, universities, research centers, and government agencies, as C well as posts for hardware or software announcements. It reads a little C like a telephone book, with some listings in big print or flashing to C get your attention. It also covers a lot of Web territory. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Web Central U http://www.cio.com/ WebMaster/lm_frontpage.html C Probably does not have as many links, but it's easier on the eye. C Well organized, it has long lists in its subject categories. This could C be a good starting place if you want a meta site that won't overwhelm you. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T The Starting Point U http://www.stpt.com C Can be useful if you use the Internet primarily for business information. C Its cataloged items fall under the categories of news, reference, weather, C sports, business, magazines, entertainment, investing, travel, education, C computing, and shopping. Clicking on the investing icon takes you to C links for quick quotes and charts, online trading, six financial news C resources, six quote providers, five mutual fund links, 28 stock brokers, C and nine stock exchanges. It lets you search with one of 15 different C search engines and Archie. Of the 125 magazines listed, most are slanted C toward the computer, Internet, business, and news categories. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T The Huge List U http://thehugelist.com C Commercial index in which companies pay to be listed, so you won't find C a comprehensive listing of all Web sites. However, if you're looking C for a business source, it's a good place to begin. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Librarian's Index to the Internet U http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/InternetIndex C Index of Web sites that's updated weekly and includes Web searching C tips and information. The index is organized by subject and each site C listed has a short description. There isn't a rating system per se, C but you can assume a site is chosen for its content and presentation. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Clearinghouse U http://www.clearinghouse.net C List of lists. The focus is on index sites that lead to other sites, C and sites are rated (or will be rated) by volunteers. There are a dozen C main categories that narrow down to specific indexes. C C For example, clicking on the Environment category will take you to C specific topics such as artificial reefs, coral reefs, the chemical C industry, climate research, weather, hazardous materials, earth sciences, C ecology, energy, forestry, forest products, and so on. If you're looking C for a meta site specific to a subject, Clearinghouse would be a good C place to begin. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Magellan U http://www.mckinley.com C Rates its sites, but has so many submissions that it offers the chance to C look at its unrated sites as well. It also provides a search engine that C almost overshadows the index. The categories seem to grow constantly as C more sites are added to this neatly arranged site. C Needs work (dated and duplicate entries) but one to keep an eye on. C C Magellan has enough layers to divide the sites into topics without C frustrating a user who doesn't want to go through half a dozen screens C before actually getting to the desired information. T Point Communications' Index U http://www.pointcom.com/reviews/database/edch.htm C Honors what it deems are the top five percent of Web sites. Point C reviewers "grade" a site on a 50-point scale that determines whether C they recommend it. You can browse through Point's database by subject C or search for a specific topic. A sentence or two describes each site, C so you have some criteria before deciding whether to click. C C Acquired by Lycos, known primarily for its search engine. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Infoseek Guide U http://guide.infoseek.com C Another search engine that makes its database available as an index. C Listed sites also are given a brief description, and sites that have C been favorably reviewed are given a check mark. Infoseek Guide also C suggests related topics as you browse through the categories. You can C search for a particular items as well. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T iGuide U http://www.iguide.com/insites/index.sml C Not a search engine, but rather an index of prereviewed Web sites. C Its slogan is "Been there, reviewed that." The sites are listed from C best to worst in the appropriate subject category. iGuide lets you link C to places it has not reviewed as well. C C [11/1996 Internet World, Cynthia N. James-Catalano] T Recommended Search Tools Page U http://infopeople.berkeley.edu:8000/src/srctools.html C Page with the search forms for the best search engines and C subject directories. T AltaVista U http://www.altavista.digital.com/ C Full-text index of more than 30 million Web pages and over 14,000 C news groups. A powerful and very, very fast search engine enables Web C users to conduct precise searches for specific information by looking C for phrases, specifying key words, using case-sensitive matches, and C restricting searches to titles or other parts of a document. T DejaNews - Usenet search U http://www.dejanews.com/ C Large collection of indexed, archived, Usenet news postings going back C to 1995. Searchable by keyword, subject, or e-mail address. Power search C features allow you to limit and sort by several options. T Excite U http://www.excite.com/ C Reviews, Usenet news and classifieds, and headline news as well as a C keyword and concept search engine. Unique feature - results grouped by C sites. T News Tracker U http://nt.excite.com/?clk=a-NTh-t C Searches 300 news sources. Excellent addition for current news. T HotBot U http://www.hotbot.com/ C Web-crawling, Usenet indexing, feature-packed searcher based on C the Inktomi engine. Excellent for searching Web pages for people. C Allows field searching by url, date, location and media type. Now has C explicit Boolean searching. T InfoSeek Ultrasmart U http://guide.infoseek.com/ C Search by keyword(s), phrases for full-text articles from WWW pages, C and Usenet newsgroups. Also returns related new articles and shows C related topics. A new feature allows you to refine your search sets. C Includes searchable archive of past 30 days of news wire stories. T Infoseek Ultraseek U http://www.infoseek.com/Home?pg=ultra_home.html C Has indexed the full text of over 50 million pages and is updated daily. C Unique to this new search engine are automatic name recognition, no C need for quotes to recognize capitalized word phrases, and all words are C searched. Advanced search allows field limits (either link, site, url C or title) Plain English queries work and it finds all word variants, e.g. C mice will find mouse. T Lycos U http://www.lycos.com/ C A comprehensive Internet database, so use the most unique search terms C you can. Allows Boolean AND and OR and can match up to 7 terms - good C for synonyms or variant spellings. Assigns more weight to Web pages C that are linked to by others, kind of like a citation index. T Open Text U http://index.opentext.net/ C Gives you the choice of searching for any word or a complete phrase. T Reference.com U http://www.reference.com/ C You can find, browse, search, and participate in more than 150,000 C newsgroups, mailing lists, and web forums. Excellent! T WebCrawler U http://webcrawler.com/ C Small database, but great search engine and relevancy ranking. Good for C quick searches.

U http://selsvr.stx.com/~weblib/ C WebLib is a tool for creating searchable, distributed "virtual C libraries" of documents on the World Wide Web. WebLib can help you C build WWW interfaces to existing document databases, and even allow C you to query multiple databases of different types, on different hosts, C as though they were all one single database. C C WebLib lets you put "one-stop-shopping" WWW front ends on top of C multiple existing document databases (even ones on different hosts!). C Ported only to Unix (so far). Distributed free of charge. C C WEBLIB IS NOT A DATABASE! It has no DBMS code in it AT ALL. It come C bundled with a quick-and-dirty DBI for querying refer(1) files, BUT C IT IS NOT A DATABASE, any more than X-windows is a game, or C is an C operating system! C C Suppose that you have a large database of documents, which might be C any/all of the following: C C * Online, offline, or both C * HTML, Postscript C * MS Word, MS Excel or any other PC-formatted documents C * Tech reports, journal papers, etc... C C Suppose also that you want to provide the ability to search this C database on the WWW, by title, author, keyword, date... maybe even C content and other criteria. C C Suppose also that you want users to be able to select any of the C "hits" from such a search and... C C * Find out about the document: authors, location, abstract, etc. C * Retrieve the document itself, if it is on-line. C * Launch the document in its native format C C FINALLY, suppose that you want to be able to do all of the above C with one or more existing databases of documents, whether relational, C object-oriented, Z39.50, or flat-file... even residing on different C machines... and make them all look like a single, searchable catalog. C C WebLib is a tool built by NASA/GSFC Code 712 for this purpose. Using C it, you write a database interface (DBI) for each kind of database C you want to query (sample code plus utilities are included). A DBI C just does the raw query and spits out the results: WebLib does the C coordination among multiple distributed DBIs, generates the HTML, etc. C It can be written in any language: C, SybPerl/OraPerl, etc. T Index of Perl/HTML archives U http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~mengwong/perlhtml.html C A good list of Perl scripts and archives involving HTML.

Easy to understand, easy to implement. I first saw C this layout at dynamic ribbon device and have since learned that the C sweet CSS came from Rob Chandanais of BlueRobot. Owen also made a very C nice tutorial using this layout technique. C C 2 Columns, ALA Style - Famously chronicled by Jeffrey Zeldman in his C ALA article A Web Designer's Journey, this is an extremely easy layout C to implement requiring only a simple float:left declaration. C C 4 Columns, All Fluid - This technique can actually be used to provide C as many columns on a page as you like. Drawback #1) it gets difficult C quickly if you want to make any of the columns a fixed width. Drawback C #2) it relies heavily on percentages, which the various browsers all C calculate differently, so you can't place your columns very precisely. C Still, a very useful technique, especially if you don't want borders C and different background colors for your columns. C C 3 Columns, All Fluid - A much simpler and potentially more useful C technique that then 4 column technique above. It uses float:left, C suffers from needing percentage widths for each column, and from C potential column wrapping when the browser window is narrowed. C C Static Width and Centered - 3 columns all with static widths, C and contained in a parent DIV which remains centered in the window. C One rather serious limitation of this particular technique is that if C any of the three content DIVs contains an image or a really long word C that is longer than the width of the DIV, it totally breaks the layout. C Each browser breaks it differently. C C Nested Float - A very simple layout that features a nested, floated menu C in the upper right. Easily reversed. A variation of this technique C is in use on this very page. T The CSS Layout Reservoir U http://www.bluerobot.com/web/layouts/ C Two Column Layouts C * 2 columns - left menu C * 2 columns - right menu C C Three Column Layouts C * 3 columns - flanking menus C C Horizontal centering: Auto-width Margins or Negative Margin T CSS Visual layouts page U http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/boxes.html C All kinds of cool boxes for two and three-column layout, centering, etc. T Page backgrounds U http://www.ender-design.com/rg/index.html C Realm Graphics has over 340 textures for fills and page backgrounds, C over 380 bullets, over 130 buttons, over 510 icons and 350 lines.

The system ensures that handles are unique C and that they can be retained over long time periods. C C In the past, most computer systems have identified an item by the C location where it is stored, for example by the name of a computer C system and the name of a file on that computer. A notable example C is the World Wide Web which use a Uniform Resource Locators (URL) C for this purpose. C C In building large information systems, it proves much more efficient C to refer to items by name, rather than location.
