Murray's talk ran longer than we thought, so I was somewhat pressed for time, and rushed through the generation of a web page, and made an error entering the URL for two graphics we included with the web page we were building. The problem was that I entered the name of the file in lower case, which works fine on both dos and windows, but when the file was actually uploaded to the internet site, it was uploaded with the file name in ALL CAPS.

That is why another web page, which we looked at without uploading, worked just fine, because both DOS and Win95 are case insensitive, but a unix system is case sensitive, so one needs to use upper case for all file names.

We were too pressed for time and were not able to discover the problem while everyone was there, but when I got home and tried it, it became immediately obvious what the problem was.

We will cover building a web page again at the December 13 meeting (1:00 pm on Super Saturday). We will probably spend most of the time looking at Netscape Gold, the Web Page builder built into the Netscape Browser, but we may also take a look at the full Front Page product, and explore some of the differences between it and the limited Front Page Express that comes on the IE 4.0 CD. Between now and then we will cover Search Engines at the November 15 program (1:00 pm) and Email at the November 24 meeting (7:30 pm).

Also there will be two programs on Getting Started with Communications and the Internet for beginners, one on December 1 at 7:30 pm in room M1 of Keplinger Hall, 5th and Harvard, and another at both 3:00 pm and again at 7:00 pm in the Owasso Community Center, 301 S Cedar, in Owasso (just west of IH169 at the 76th street exit).
