Chime Resources

by Eric Martz
University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Here's what's NEW

These resources work best with CHIME 1.0 and Netscape Navigator 3.01/3.02. Detailed platform/browser compatibility information is available. These resources work as intended on Windows3.1/95 but there are known problems on the Macintosh. Because Chime 1.0 has not yet been released for SGI/Irix, most of these resources don't work on the SGI yet.
