New Chebucto
Plus
installation CD-ROM available
The Chebucto Technical Committee, with the help of Computer Science Co-op
student
Tracy Harnish, has developed an installation CD for setting up the
Chebucto Plus graphical access service on
users' computers.
The long-awaited CD will work with Windows 95 and 98, Macintosh, and
Windows 3.1 and 3.11. The Chebucto Plus
service is available to Sustaining members of the Chebucto Community Net.
The CD is currently free to new Sustaining and Premium Neighbourhood
Account members who may pick it up from the Chebucto Office,
but there is a $10 charge to mail it out. Due to limited availability,
this CD is only available to new Plus accounts.

Chebucto website update
begins
The long-awaited update to the Chebucto Community Net website has started.
Based on a template developed by Dalhousie University Library Science
students and modified by NetCorps interns working under the supervision of
Chebucto office staff, the new template attempts to make navigation on the
Chebucto website easier. While designed with graphic browsers in mind, the
web pages are accessible with the Lynx text browser.
New features are a standard navigation bar across the top of all pages
(which you
will have seen on this page) and a description of where on the Chebucto
website
you are, with links to the levels above you. The Chebucto website will
gradually be
revised to conform to the new format.
