Notes: Promotional info says: One view of how the Internet has changed the |
way some companies are doing business. Must reading for anyone looking at |
the impact of the Internet on commerce and why Internet access is becoming |
critical for businesses. Matisse Enzer says: Excellent overview and |
detailed discussion of the Internet from a business users' perspective. An |
entirely non-technical book, Doing Business discusses the commercial |
aspects and issues of the Internet: advertising, research, customer |
contact, etc. Highly recommended. |

Notes: A minimalist software package and manual for setting up a UUCP |
connection for mail and news. This title is almost completely misleading. |
This book is not for DOS users, except that you must be running DOS to run |
the MKS UUCP for DOS programs for which this book is a manual. This book is |
also not about the Internet, as such. Both the specifics and the concepts |
refer to UUCP rather than the Internet. The text of the book does point out |
that there are differences, but the examples given relate to UUCP. That |
said, for those who are interested in making their first move to a direct |
Internet connection, this could be an excellent choice. UUCP was designed |
to be quite comfortable with dialup connections, and this book and |
associated programs, help to automate a number of the connection functions |
while freeing the user from much of the technical detail that TCP/IP |
requires. |
