Slides are originally in Microsoft Powerpoint (PP) format (.ppt). This is the definitive version. Sometimes even after other versions are made I may go back and fiddle with the lecture in Powerpoint.
If you have PP installed on your computer: you can save the file and then open it with PP. You can also set your browser to automatically start the PP application when a .ppt file is read. In Windows 95/NT, PP can be run stand-alone or (and this is pretty cool) as an embedded OLE object, as if it were part of the browser; right-click the mouse once the object is loaded.
If you don't have PP on your computer: There are some PowerPoint viewers. For example, the latest version of QuickView Plus can display .ppt files. If you find a free viewer, please send e-mail to the class mailing list.
[9/29/97] In the Sieg 323 lab, PP was installed on one computer I tried, but it's really hard to find. The following ridiculous path leads to it: c:\MsOffice\Microsoft Office\Office\Powerpnt.exe
In case what you want has not been posted yet: the slides used in Autumn 1997 are very similar to these.
