     Gopher is nice - also easy.

     There's also a hypertext 'popup' for MS-DOS called Hytelnet.
     It's available by anonymous ftp                    ( use binary mode )
     from:

     1. vaxb.acs.unt.edu in the LIBRARY directory       ( cd [.library] )
        as    hyteln50.zip
     2. simtel20 archives in the MSDOS.HYPERTEXT directory
        ( hyteln50.zip is prob. there - else check for hyteln??.zip )
     3. wuarchive 'mirror' of simtel20
        wuarchive.wustl.edu in directory mirrors/msdos/hypertext
        as hyteln50.zip

     HYTELNET50 also contains a fair amount of information
     on Telnet-able Internet resources OTHER THAN libraries, plus
     some help info on telnetting & library software commands.
     BUT its use is not as 'transparent' as gopher ...

     Hope it helps,
     Tom
