Presentations

Powerpoint presentations for the chapters of the book and its appendices are available in the directory present. These presentations are an alternative to the Netscape Presentation format. They may be adapted freely.

Platforms

The material is best read with Netscape 4.5 or better. However, both on Solaris and Irix the Presentation Format is not presented correctly due to a (known) bug in Netscape Javascript. The material should also be presented correctly in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x and better.
