Duke WWW home page now available
================================

There is now a World-Wide Web home page for Duke available with
the following Uniform Resource Locator (URL):

        http://www.duke.edu/

There are a number of inline images in this page, so for those with
text-only web browsers, there is also an image-free version of the
page available with this URL:

        http://www.duke.edu/duketext.html

Can I use the Duke home page as my default page?
================================================

Web clients on the acpub system (xmosaic, web, and lynx) have already
been configured to fetch the Duke home page by default.  Others on
campus are welcome to set that page as their default page.

How do I serve out my own Web data?
===================================

Web page service of URLs of the following form:

        http://www.duke.edu/~userid[...]

is available for those with userids on the public DEC cluster ("acpub")
system who create a world-readable "public_html" subdirectory off of
their home directory.  The default page is called "index.html", so
that "http://www.duke.edu/~userid/" automatically accesses the file
~userid/public_html/index.html on the acpub system.  If there is
no "index.html" file, an index of the public_html directory will
be created.

DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN A "public_html" SUBDIRECTORY ON THE ACPUB SYSTEM
UNLESS YOU WANT THE ENTIRE WORLD TO READ IT.

Further information
===================

Questions or comments about the Duke home page may be sent to
.  Questions or comments about using the
~userid mechanism may be directed either to the Academic Computing
Consulting Desk in room 136 North Building (phone 660-BYTE) or to
