Minnesota Internet Users Essential Tool Information

Minnesota Internet Users Essential Tool (Minuet) is an integrated Internet package for DOS Operating Systems on IBM-compatible PCs.

Background

Minuet was created at the University of Minnesota, in the early days of the World Wide Web (1994-1996). At that time, Internet software for the PC was not well-written — the only programs available were NCSA Telnet and NCSA FTP. Both were glitchy, hard to configure, and TTY-oriented.

The microcomputer support department at the university decided to come up with something better. Their design goals were:

  • Runnable on any PC with at least 384 KiB of RAM, even an original 4.77MHz PC.
  • GUI interface
  • Would run under DOS; not requiring Windows
  • Easy to use
  • Little or no configuration needed
  • Multi-tasking

The result was "Minuet". Minuet was quite successful, being used at many colleges and institutions. Usage probably peaked around 1996, going down as Windows 95 and its free e-mail and web browser proliferated.
