Bovine Online Upgrade

Now Bessie is even better! Designed as a comprehensive Internet software package, Bovine Online for Fall 1997 will feature upgrades, additions, and improvements, and will be available both on diskette and CD-ROM. Anyone with a campus account, whether faculty, staff, or student, can use Bovine Online at home or in the office. This updated package will be available for purchase at the UC Davis Bookstore and I.T. Express in August 1997.

New this year is Dr. Solomon's anti-virus software, which was obtained on a site license for UC Davis; new versions of Internet software programs Netscape (3.0), Eudora (3.1 for the Macintosh and 3.01 for Windows 95); new telnet software WinCRT for Windows 95; and a lab diskette enabling users to save e-mail messages retrieved or sent from computer lab terminals.

The Bovine Online Website (http://online.ucdavis.edu/) provides upgrades, fixes, and links to software available for download.

Users who prefer to install applications individually will continue to have access to Eudora, Netscape and telnet software via the Internet. Follow the "Access Our Software Distribution Site" link at the IT Express Website (http://it-express.ucdavis.edu/). Please note that while downloading allows users to customize applications, the manual is not included. Nor is the automated installation and new campus computer account set-up that is provided by Bovine Online.
