INTRODUCTION

The URL is:  ftp://ftp.isoc.org/isoc/charts

The materials in this directory and subdirectories are prepared and
made available by the Internet Society as the international organization
for the Internet, its technologies and applications.

This is copyrighted material (c) 1994 A.M. Rutkowski and the Internet 
Society.  A license to use these materials is given with the express
condition that prominent attribution to the Internet Society must be
included in any derived copies. 

The material in this directory is regularly updated from week to week
as authoritative sources produce new information - often within a few hours
of the release of the new information.  However, the Society has no
independent means of verifying the accuracy of information and does not
further warrant its accuracy.

The material previously available at this location have been updated and
restructured to provide new Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 compatibility as well 
as more manageable file sizes.

Most of the material in this directory is provided in native PowerPoint
binary files.  All presentations are available in:

Version 3.0 (files end with the number "3")

Generally, the files can be directly read by both PC Windows and
Mac OS versions of PowerPoint.  (However, as of the date of this release,
Mac version 4.0 has not been released.)
