              Press Release

          For Immediate Release
              28 March 1997

            The Internet For Commodore Users
           by Gaelyne R. Gasson

The Internet is a big place and it's not always easy to find all the
in's and out's about taking advantage of its features when checking it
out for the first time. There's a lot of Commodore specific information
available on the Internet, but you have to know how to get to the
information, and that can be a Catch-22.

How do I get on the Internet? What term programs can I use? What the
heck is FTP? Can I browse the World Wide Web with my C64?

Gaelyne Gasson (formerly Gaelyne Moranec), former editor of
CEE-64 Alive!, has been writing about Commodore computers and modeming
for several years, with columns and features in Commodore World, and
BBS Magazine. She has also written about Commodore computing for other
publications such as: C=Hacking, Commodore Network, and Loadstar. After
answering countless letters helping others learn the ropes of
telecommunications, she's written a book specifically for Commodore
users who want to take advantage of the Internet.

The Internet For Commodore Users is to be packaged with a special
version of Novaterm v9.6 Lite by Nick Rossi.

   * Hardware Basics
   * Terminal and Modem Basics
   * Finding an Internet Provider
