Updated Mosaic Quick Tour Includes Mosaic Software

New Ventana title untangles the World Wide Web

Chapel Hill, N.C.; April 4, 1995--Building on the success of the
bestselling Mosaic Quick Tour, Ventana Press announced the release of
Mosaic Quick Tour for Windows, Special Edition. The Macintosh version will
ship in June. A comprehensive guide for using the popular World Wide Web
browser, the new release includes Ventana Mosaic 2.0, a fully licensed and
supported version of Enhanced Mosaic 2.0 from Spyglass, Inc.

Mosaic Quick Tour, Special Edition, gives readers a fundamental
understanding of the Web, along with hands-on instructions for installing
and using Mosaic. A section on popular sites gets readers started on their
own travels across the World Wide Web.

A unique feature of the Special Edition is its integration with Ventana's
own Web site, where an online version of the book's listings chapter is
linked to the actual Web pages described in the book. Users can log onto
Ventana Online, click on a site that intrigues them and jump directly to
that site. This continually maintained Online Companion also provides
access to free utilities and links to current resources on the Internet.
The URL for the Windows Online Companion version is
http://www.vmedia.com/mqtw.se.html; the URL for the Macintosh Online
Companion version is http://www.vmedia.com/mqtm.se.html.

Also included in the book is a section on using HyperText Markup Language
(HTML), the protocol for creating Web documents. This step-by-step
tutorial guides readers as they create their own customized Home Page. A
brief discussion of the Internet's background, a detailed description of
Mosaic's features and a glossary complete this tour of Ventana Mosaic and
the Web.

The World Wide Web is an interconnected "universe of documents" that exists
within the Internet--linking text, graphics, sound and video together into
a web of information. Web documents are written with HTML, which allows
these links to be created within parts of the same document, between
documents and to attached media files.

The Web's hyperlinks transform HTML files into three-dimensional documents,
allowing the user to follow threads of interest. Every document on the Web
can be potentially linked to every other document, putting the "web" into
World Wide Web. Today the Web is the most widely used, fastest-growing
area of content on the Net, with more than 1,200 servers added weekly.
