Abstract                : There are many files (usually in Word or Excel format) on
                          the disk area often referred to as "citr@@citron".
                          
                          This area is designed to be a share area for Macintosh (& PC)
                          users and is also offers a way for Mac users to exchange
                          files in a controlled way (the "File Exchange" folder).
                          
                          See "Additional_Info" below for ways to access citr@@citron:
                          
                             1. directly, from a Macintosh [PC procedure to be added]

                          ----------------------------------
                          
                            Use  Chooser from the "Apple logo" menu 
                                 click "AppleShare" & select "citron" from 
                                 the list & press OK
                                      @@¨tselect citr@@citron
                                         enter your (UNIX) password
                          
                            Close the Chooser window & locate the 
                            citr@@citron icon on your desktop & Open it.
                          
                          2. via a web browser
                          --------------------
                          
                          o  Click on the Title or URL given (if clickable)
                            
                            ...wait til it finishes (ignore gobbledygook)
                            then do a Save (as Source not Text). 
                            
                            This should get you a copy which works. Just load
                            Word or Excel & "Open" the document.
                            (You may have to click "Show All Files" to see it.)
                           
                            (Note: If the document has been created with
                            Excel 5 or Word 6 or later, the file will
                            also work on PCs with these versions.) 
                          
                          If the Title or URL is not clickable:

                          [Note: Update the above when ftp works & when all
                          URLs are made clickable]

                            This is an area where each person has a folder
                            only they can write to, but all can read 
                            [& therefore copy from]
