LinkWay is an IBM-licensed K-12 hypermedia product. LinkWay is a very common product among those schools which use IBM hardware, and the purpose of the International Archive is to promote the sharing among K-12 educators of LinkWay applications (folders) which they have created. A site is being sought where the Archive can be placed for FTP retrieval; however, until a site is available, those wanting a copy of the Archive will need to follow the instructions provided below. This update includes: * A folder created by the students of Colegio de la Ciudad de Mexico, illustrating the urbanization of Mexico. The folder is rich in graphics, presents a wealth of information about the economics and demographics of Mexico, and is annotated completely in Spanish Mexico, Urbanization (Live!-VGA) Author: Students of Colegio de la Ciudad de Mexico Mexico City, Mexico Submitted by: Dr. Alberto Canas University of West Florida Speech Source: None 72 files, 2,667,637 bytes Compressed: 6 files, 1,225,797 bytes * A folder created by Tony Hill of Evansville, IN. to familiarize his sixth grade students and to quiz them about tools used in shop class.

MCGA-256 color) Authors: Marion High School Students of John Moore Marion, Indiana Speech Source: IBM ACPA 47 files, 2,159,888 bytes Compressed: 3 files, 1,181,116 The Archive is free and available to everyone. Using the runtime version of LinkWay which can be shared via the Archive, all MS-DOS users can access the Archive, even if they do not have a local copy of LinkWay. However, the archive will only grow if pe ople contribute their work, and I much prefer that you send us a couple of your best folders each time you make a request. To obtain a copy of the archive: 1. Please send at least one of your folders that has been well tested, and as free as possible of all bugs. BE SURE TO INCLUDE all picture, page, speech, reference and bitmap files that are included in the folder. 2. I will test the folder, and will edit it for access from the Archive Menu. 3. Each request must include the FORMATTED diskettes, a self-addressed envelope, and the postage required for the shipment of the folders to you. The archive currently requires 10 HD or 20 DS/DD diskettes, although any portion of the archive can be sent as well, if you are only interested in certain folders. All postage must be U.S. Mail. UPS and express mail requests cannot be accepted. 4. I will copy the compressed file of the menuing folder and the applications folders you have requested to the diskettes you have sent, and will mail them back to you using the addressed envelopes and postage you have included. Also included with the diskettes will be a copy of PKUNZIP and a complete set of directions for decompressing the files and copying them to your hard drive (stand alone or networked). 5. Once you participate, I will continue to notify you as new folders are added to the archive. 6. All folders are shipped as is, and I assume no responsibility for their utility, for their content or for complications due to viruses, etc.. Responsibility for any violations of copyrights are assumed completely by the authors and the users. The purpose of the Archive is to enable educators to share ideas. I hope you will join us by sharing yours. ****************************************************************************** * Mark W.
