#### HW #1 (part 1): USING THE WEB, UNIX, PICO, & NEWS

For this HW, you will need:

- Your UBIT account name and password
- How to Use the UB Public-Site Computers
- How to Print from Unix
- How to Post and Read News on Unix
- How to Use the Pico Text Editor
- Pico Tutorial

1. Log onto one of UB's PCs running Windows NT (e.g., the ones in the Park 143 lab, or at any of the Cybraries, etc.)

2. Get on the World-Wide Web in your favorite way (e.g., via Netscape or Internet Explorer):

   - Find the "Academic Integrity: Policies and Procedures" and "Obstruction or Disruption in the Classroom - Policies" webpages on the WWW (see the CSE 111 syllabus for direct links to them)

   - Print them out & read them.

3. From Windows, use CRT to access (i.e., to log in to) UBUnix.

4. Do the Pico tutorial:
   - Print out the final version of the file `mary_lamb.txt` that you will create during this tutorial.
     (See How to Print from Unix.)

5. Using your favorite newsreader, read the newsgroup `sunyab.cse.111`.

   - In particular, read the messages about:
     - Welcome to the CSE 111 Newsgroup for Fall 2000
     - Class Statistics
     - FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
     - HW #1

   - Save the "HW #1" message to a file. (Note that `trn` saves all messages in a "News" directory; so if you saved a news message with the name "hw1", you will find it in "News/hw1".)

   - Print it out.

6. Be sure to exit from (i.e., log out of) UBUnix! (Note: You should close the Unix window by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.)

7. Be sure to log out of Windows!!

- A cover page (which can be computer-generated, or hand-printed) titled "HW #1", with:
  - Your name (print, please)
  - The date
  - Your lab section (L1 .. L8)
    (if you don't know your lab section, look it up on the syllabus!)
- The first page of the "Academic Integrity: Policies and Procedures" website
