A number of people have asked me how to access the
Diabetes Knowledgebase WEB server, so here are very
brief instructions:

The Diabetes Knowledgebase is a collection of documents
that have been specially coded so that they can be
displayed by a World-Wide-Web (WWW or just WEB) client
program after it has retrieved them from the Diabetes
Knowledgebase WEB server.

To access the Diabetes knowledgebase WEB server and view
the files you need a WEB client program.  Two of the best
programs avaliable are Mosaic and Netscape.  Both are
avaliable in Windows, Unix and Mac versions.  You can
get via anonymous FTP from:

Mosaic:  ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu  (in mosaic directory)

Netscape: ftp2.mcom.com   or  ftp.mcom.com  (in Netscape directory)

(Windows versions are available via ftp from islet.medsc.wisc.edu
when I remember to turn on the ftpd server software.)

In order to use either program you need a TCP/IP stack running
on your computer.  If you don’t know whether you have this,
contact your network provider and they will assist you.

After you have retrieved Netscape or Mosaic, unarchive the
program files and install the packages following the provided
instructions. (You will need pkunzip for this.)

Once installed you can try to access the Diabetes knowledgebase.

From the file menu, select: Open location (netscape) or Open URL
(Mosaic).

In the dialog box type:  http://islet.medsch.wisc.edu

Click on <OK>

You should now be connected to the Diabetes Knowledgebase and
the Table of Contents should be displayed on your WEB Client.

Have fun,
Don
