Searching the Web
-
Netscape Collection. Good luck if you can't find it from here.
-
Alta Vista. Very comprehensive coverage. Spending a few minutes
in help really pays off.
-
Magellan. Has reviews/synopses of many large sites; will help you
avoid stumbling into pornographic computational physics sites.
Creating HTML documents
-
A Beginner's Guide to HTML (from NCSA)
- For more information, choose the How to Create Web Services
option from Netscape's Help menu
- One of the easiest and most powerful ways of learning HTML is to
use the Document Source feature from Netscape's View menu.
Find a Web document with a layout or feature you wish to emulate, select
Document Source from the View and then examine the source
(which will appear in a separate window) to see how things are done.

Graphing (XY plots)
- Gnuplot
- xmgr
- The SM (Supermongo)
User's Manual (PS). Software available on Relativity SGI machines.
Powerful, interactive and readily produces publication-quality scientific plots.
