    If you wish to try downloading and installing the necessary software, the NERDC Information Services Software FTP page has links to sites offering appropriate shareware and freeware applications.

    Once installed on your workstation, the software will need to be identified to your WWW browser, in order for these links to work. In Netscape this is done via the

    Options --> General Preferences--> Applications
    panel.
