The Internet for Commodore C64/128 Users (or Tifcu for short) is a book written specifically for C64/128 owners who want to use their computers on the Internet. It can also be used by *ANYONE* using *ANY* computer platform that can use a terminal program with VT100 or ANSI emulation.

Many other platform users (Windows, Mac, Amiga, etc.) have learned to use Internet features such as telnet, IRC and FTP using this book and have remarked about how much they've learned from it. We received so much in the way of comments regarding the book that we added a Review Comments page so you can see what others have to say about it.

The 3rd Edition book contains 302 numbered pages and spans 18 chapters covering everything from connecting a modem to your Commodore, finding an Internet Provider, what you can do once you're online, and information about TCP/IP connections. It also includes an extensive glossary, index and resource list. To see all the topics covered in the book we've provided an online version of the Table of Contents, expanded to show subtopics.

The Internet For Commodore C64/128 Users is in A5 format, which means it's 5.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches high and approximately 1 inch thick. It has a PVC cover for durability and plastic comb binding. This type of binding lets you leave the book open to the page you require while using your computer.

In the past, the book was packaged with Novaterm v9.6 LITE by Nick Rossi. This was a demonstration program of the commercially available term program. It includes ANSI and VT100 emulation, and an easy to use configuration program. It has the latest serial drivers (including the new Turbo232 Cartridge) for use with high speed modems. Novaterm 9.6 can be used by both C64 and C128 users - and allows C128 users to use their familiar 80 column screen when online.

As of 1st July 2000, we are now sending the full version of Novaterm 9.6, as Nick Rossi has indicated to us that the program is now freeware. The official Novaterm 9.6 (Patch C) archives are available from: ftp://ftp.videocam.net.au/cbm/terms/novaterm/novaterm9.6/, and are used to create the disk bundled with the TIFCU book.
