The Two Window System

In the two window system, two connections are made to Diversity University (DU). The first connection is a telnet one, usually made with a MOO client (software program). This connection is established first (login complete). The second window is the web browser which is then connected and displays the web page view from DU. One uses the mouse or keystrokes to toggle between the two views.

A. MOO Clients

There are many good MOO clients available for download. I am recommending GMUD because of its easy of download/installation and use. Other programs, like Pueblo or WinWorld, will work as well.

1. Downloading and Installing GMUD

Go to http://members.fortunecity.com/jo7683sa/gmud/

Scroll to Download GMUD

Click on the link - this will download GMUD as a self-extracting file. Next you will need to install this file. Click on it and follow the on-screen directions. Once the program is installed, configure it to reach DU.

Configure GMUD for DU

Once you have GMUD running, you will need to configure it for DU. Do this by:

Click on Edit
Click on Worlds

Click on Add

Fill in the following information:

Name: DU	Host: moo.du.org
Port: 8888

Now to actually connect, click on File, Connect, and select the DU option you just installed.

Connecting to DU

1. telnet connection first

Launch GMUD, click on File, Connect, and finally DU

Type: co <DU name> <DU password> (remember, no brackets)

You should connect and arrive at your "home" (BIO*Space or Micro-Student-Lounge)

2. web connection next

Launch your web browser (Netscape/Internet Explorer)

Go to http://moo.du.org:8000

Fill in your DU name and password

Click on Open a Web Window

Now the web page will load; use the mouse to click between the two windows or use ALT-TAB to toggle between them.

To refresh the webpage view, click on LOOK AROUND
