Retrieving CS100 Files from the World Wide Web

To retrieve the folder for a CS100 programming assignment from the CS100 Web page:
  1. To start Netscape, use Bear Access from the Apple menu on a lab machine. In Bear Access, click on the World Wide Web button. This will start Netscape.

  2. Use Netscape to find the WWW link labeled "Program N Folder" for the programming assignment that you want.

    Note: A WWW link is a connection to another page in the Web. In Netscape links are indicated by blue or purple shaded letters, such as shown below.

    An Example Link

    This link doesn't do anything, but a real link might have the capability of switching to another page or retrieving your programming assignment folder. To "follow" a link, click on the blue text with the mouse.

    For example, to retrieve Program 1 follow the "Program 1" link from the CS100 Home Page. On the Program 1 page you will see the "Program 1 Folder" link.

  3. Click this link. Netscape will retrieve the folder.

  4. On the desktop should appear a new folder named "Program N".

    Note: If other new files appear, e.g. "ProgramN.sea" or "ProgramN.sea.hqx", you may throw them away. They are used to get the folder from the Web and are not needed once you have the folder. Move the "Program N" folder onto your floppy disk.

    Note: Netscape might pop up a dialog box asking you where to put the folder. If this happens, select your floppy disk in the dialog box and click the button to expand the folder into your disk.
