What are newspapers doing on and about the Internet? Read Steve Outing's column every weekday at http://www.mediainfo.com/edpub.

Over the past few months, members of the "inet-news" mailing list have posted addresses for lots of news sources on the Internet. But you don't have to wade through hundreds of messages. Thanks to Jonathan R.A. Maier you can see and use a summary list, at: http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~jmaier/.

Sites For Scripting Support

If you create, own or manage Web content, you may want to explore the CGI-BIN scripts written by Matt Kruse. He's made available scripts for doing access count display, statistical analysis, an easy HTML table generator, indexing and commenting of Web pages, and more.

One script that any Internet user may find useful is the mail-links extractor, which pulls out all WWW URLs it finds in your mailbox and adds them to your hotlist. These scripts, and others, are available at: http:// web.sau.edu/~mkruse/ www/scripts/.
