What's New in the Online Edition of `MH & xmh'

18 July 1996

Added list of servers. The first Australian mirror site is completely up and running (thanks to Jason Ornstein!).

15 July 1996

Put a reorganized copy of the book on the Web and FTP servers at the University of California, Irvine. The book's four parts have been split into four separate subdirectories (plus a directory for overall information); each subdirectory will be maintained by the peron who wrote that material.
The original print version is still available in HTML format in the download/original.tar.gz file, http://www.ora.com/freebooks/mh/, and ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/freebooks/mh/.

25 April 1996

Added tweaks to CGI indexing program. Now users with off-line copies of the book (on their local hard disks) can run index search on Web server, then click on the index links returned and get their local pages. Here's how it works. If a URL has extra path info on the end, like this:

http://www.ics.uci.edu/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/mh/mh-index/BOOK-MH?something

The CGI index search will return links that point to the user's local filesystem, like this:

file:///BOOK-MH/somefile.htm

1 April 1996

Test online version stable (but still needs lots of tweaking)
