 Merit Network presents
 A Cruise of the Internet
 Version 1.0.Beta
 March 27, 1992
 
 WHAT IS IT?
 The "Cruise" is an interactive instructional guide to the Internet which
 runs on a color Macintosh computer. The Introduction section compares the
 Internet to an ocean. In the Navigation Tools section, you will be
 introduced to some of the tools which can help you navigate the Internet
 such as e-mail, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Telnet. The Applications
 section includes several examples of how people are using some of the
 Internet resources and how you may access those resources.
 
 HOW TO INSTALL IT:
 1. Use anonymous FTP to connect to nic.merit.edu, "cd internet/resources"
    and get the file "merit.cruise.sea.hqx".
 2. Convert this file using BinHex 4.0. (Fetch, if you use it to retrieve 
    the file, will do this automatically.)
 3. Double click on the file "Merit's Cruise.sea".
 4. When prompted, select your destination volume with at least 2 MB of 
    disk space available.  
 5. With the destination drive selected, click on the EXTRACT button.  
    The file "Merit's Cruise"  will automatically be extracted and copied
    to your selected hard drive.
 6. To run the Cruise, double click on your copy of the file "Merit's 
    Cruise."
