A DOS User's Guide to the Internet
E-Mail, Netnews, and File Transfer with UUCP

Englewood Cliffs, NJ, December 2, 1993 -- PTR Prentice Hall today announced
the publication of A DOS User's Guide to the Internet: E-Mail, Netnews,
and File Transfer with UUCP by James Gardner. This new book brings the
riches of the Internet and the power of advanced UNIX communications
software to the world of DOS users.

"We are very excited about this book and our partnership with MKS," said
Mark L. Taub, senior managing editor, PTR Prentice Hall. "The Internet has
become increasingly important, and will become more so, as we move to an
information-based society. This book, and the software included with it,
will make the Internet easily accessible to the millions of computer users
who work and play on DOS-based personal computers."

Much more than just a description of the Internet and its services, A DOS
User's Guide to the Internet provides detailed, hands-on instructions on
how to access the Internet using the bundled UUCP software for DOS from
MKS. Using easy-to-follow examples, the book explains how to send and
receive electronic mail across the Internet, how to receive and reply to
any of the thousands of newsgroups on the Internet, and how to transfer
files over the Internet. The book also explains how the UUCP software can
be used to send and receive information between the home office and
travelling business people. Three Internet service providers agreed to
provide discounts on their services to purchasers of this book. Book
buyers will find discount coupons ranging in value from $25 to $50 at the
end of the book. The discount coupons offer book buyers a low cost way to
"test drive" the Internet.
