Internet TV with CU-SeeMe: Appendix D - Bibliography

Appendix D

Bibliography

My primary sources of information have been the CU-SeeMe Development Team and my fellow CU-SeeMe Discussion List members. In addition to the paper and web documents I've listed here, you'll find others in Chapter 8, Usage, and on my CU-SeeMe web page, http://www.jungle.com/CU-SeeMe/

Apple Computer. Open Transport White Paper. 1995. on-line at ftp://seeding.apple.com/ess/public/opentransport/

Open Transport documentation for end-users and programmers. A bit thick on the goals and a bit thin on how it'll be delivered, but an all-around useful briefing about what Open Transport is and what it'll do for you.

Allon. Timed Video Grabber for Macintosh. On-line at http://spiderweb.yoyodyne.com/allon/tvg.html
