About the World Wide WebDepartment of Computer Science
Winnemac State University, Zenith
Whitaker Hall, home of the Department of Computer Science.
titan.cs.stateu.net
TITAN is the department's general-purpose timesharing machine. It carries mail, news, the class accounts, and the departmental file service. Faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates enrolled in a CS course may hold an account on it.
Accounts are issued by the operations staff in 1104 Whitaker. Bring your registration card. Consulting hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 2:00 to 4:00 PM, in the same room; outside those hours send mail to operator.

Quotas are enforced weekly. If you are over the soft limit you will get mail; over the hard limit you will not be able to write until you are under it again. Compress what you are not using. The department does not raise quotas for coursework.
Accounts with no registered owner are removed at the beginning of the fall term. If you are graduating, or if you inherited an account from someone who has left, copy what you want off the machine before the first week of September. Nothing is kept after that and the tapes are reused.
The machine is available at all hours. It is taken down for maintenance on the first Monday of the month from 6:00 to 8:00 AM, and for backups it may be slow late Sunday night. Please do not run long jobs at nice 0 during the day.
From a terminal on campus, telnet to the machine by name. Dial-in is through the campus modem pool at 7 bits, even parity, and you will want a VT100 or VT220 emulation. There is also an http server running on the machine, which is the easier way to look around if you have Mosaic on your workstation.
About the World Wide WebThe document you are reading is being served over HTTP, a protocol for retrieving hypertext documents across the network. Words shown underlined are links; selecting one fetches another document, which may be on this machine or on a machine in another country. There is no central index. Servers are found by word of mouth, or from lists like the ones below, which is why most pages carry one.
The system was developed at CERN and released to the public domain this spring. The browser most people here are using is Mosaic, from NCSA at Illinois, which is available free by anonymous ftp. Ask in 1104 if you want it installed on your workstation.
This server is made possible by the Winnemac State University Computing Fund, with equipment gifts from alumni of the department. Additional support from Viewers Like You.
