UNIX and Programming

INFO tree: Links to lots of GNU documentation online.
CIAC Security Notes: Computer security information.
Netlib at The Univ. of Tennessee and ORNL: Huge library of numerical methods, mainly in FORTRAN, for free use in scientific environments. If you have an idea of what you need, the attribute-value database is the fastest way to success.
Numerical-Recipes: Customer support site for Numerical Recipes. Only useful for people who own the book and the disks.
C++ April Working Paper: The most actual definition of the C++ language and libraries. Quite difficult to understand and not suitable to learn C++. Mirror site in Holland. Mirror site in Stanford.
Tutorials for Network and Scientific Visualization Tools: Very nice introductions to collage, xprism, xmgr , xpaint, plotmtv, xv, xnetlib and xarchie.
UNIXhelp for users: This answers all the dumb questions.
XForms: XForms is a library and an interface designer for UNIX platforms. There is still another XForms Home Page (which seems to lead to the same content), and a page devoted to the use of XForms with C++.
Maple: Compare the Linux version to the Windows version on the same machine, and you will want Linux!
LLNL XDIR: Is a multi-windowed FTP interface, but also an excellent local file manager.
Wingz: is a spreadsheet for Unix. They have a free shareware version for Linux.
LaTeX and the GNUPLOT Plotting Program
Eric Kahler's FVWM Web Page

HTML and WWW

How big is the web? Internet Domain Survey.

Local copies of HTML and WWW documentation

You can try to read them here, but should check whether it's really faster than the original sites (I should add some links here).

HTML primer
Composing good HTML
Netscape extensions to HTML

HTML and WWW Documentation

Standards

RFC 1808: Relative Uniform Resource Locators
RFC 1738: Uniform Resource Locators (URL)

If you still don't understand why Netscape and HTML are not synonymous, read HTML 3.0 vs. NHTML 1.1 and The Myth of Netscape and HTML 3.0.

HTML Docs

UR* and The Names and Addresses of WWW objects

CERN Server Docs

CERN Server User Guide
How to set up a protected CERN server
CERN WWW server installation manual
Syntax of CERN server configuration (rule) file

Icons and Images: for use in web documents. A well sorted collection, and a lot of links to other sites. Another one is in Montana.

Tools

HAL HTML checker: A very useful syntax checker for HTML.
Tools for WWW providers: at w3.org
HTML Converters and Editors

Network Services

News (NNTP Protocol)

Public access news servers seem to shut down quite frequently, probably due to overuse. The pages quoted here list some of them.

Publicly-accessible NNTP servers
Public Access News Servers on the Net

I checked some of the addresses, and found, at that time, the following to work for me:

news.uni-stuttgart.de

Unfortunately, this one does not allow posting; I'm still searching for a server carrying the de.* groups and allowing me to post.

DejaNews Research Service: archives lots of newsgroups.

Finger

Finger Gateway: is a script to finger somebody using a WWW browser.

Email

Doug's WWW Mail Gateway 2.1.1: if you wan't to write email using HTML forms.
Informations about anonymous Email

Search Engines

I have provided a simple forms-based interface to some of the more popular search engines on the web.

The complement of all these search engines is the Netmind services, which sends you e-mail whenever a page changes. To cancel a registered page, you need the registration code and the Cancellation Form.

Lycos Search Form: The best (IMHO) search engine for WWW pages (even knows about my homepage).
List of WWW Archie Services: File oriented internet search; I usually use the german server.
World-Wide Web Servers: The master list of all WWW servers.
Graphical map of german WWW servers
WWW Server Germany (in german): This list also contains links to some forms based search tools.
Das Postleitzahlbuch: German postal area codes.
Infopool: has search engines for lots of buerocratic, but important information: area codes, ZIP codes, bank codes, and much more. Most data are for Germany, but there are also some for the USA and Canada.
Commercial WWW Servers in Germany: A subset of the full list.
Dante TeX Index: The search engine of the german TeX user group. Contains references to everything needed for TeX and LaTeX.
CARL Public Access Catalog: The only place in the world featuring free scientific article searches. Also provides free library catalog accesses to various american libraries.
Melvyl public library catalogue: Melvyn is the catalogue of all California university libraries. Very useful to find references about english or american books. The page contains general informations, actual access is via telnet.
Frequently Asked Questions: Not really a search engine, but a repository of useful FAQs about almost everything discussed on the net.
RWTH Aachen: Library: Contains a searchable book catalogue.
