The World Wide Web


Over the last several years, a series of connections have been made across the Internet, a way of easily transferring data, text, graphics, and sound in a graphically-oriented, multimedia format. The sites that support these connections have come to be called the "World Wide Web" or simply "the Web."

This section of the Help System contains documents relating to writing your own Web pages here at SEI Data. See also our SEI Data Users Homepages and the Web Developer's Resource, which is full of useful links for Web page authors.

Important Information

Each personal account comes with three megs of space on the SEI Data Server. This is for your use and includes space needed to store your mail and files you download to the server. This leaves plenty of room for your own homepage. These must be personal pages and not commercial. If in doubt as to your page either check the User Policy or E-Mail SEI Data for clarification. Commercial pages are available at an additional cost. For Commercial or Business Accounts contact The System Manager
