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.
