Guidelines for creating a new version or translation of the Guide.

netguide.eff

(This guide has not been revised in a long time and, as there are now other sources, it is kept around mostly for historical purposes.) The one you are probably looking for. This is the basic Unix text file version of BDGttI. If you are using DOS this will probably work for you too. If you have line length problems, get the ZIP'd version below. This file always contains the most current version of the text ("fancy" versions such as PostScript, hypertext, etc., may be somewhat older, as they take time to create after the text version is released.)

netgd3_1.zip

(This guide has not been revised in a long time and, as there are now other sources, it is kept around mostly for historical purposes.)A ZIP'd-up DOS text version of EGttI. Differs from netguide.eff only in that each line ends with a cr/lf character pair, instead of just lf. May make it easier to view it on a DOS system.

netguide_3.1.txt

(This guide has not been revised in a long time and, as there are now other sources, it is kept around mostly for historical purposes.) A link to netguide.eff for those that like long names. Incidentally, gives the current version number for your convenience. Especially intended for sysadmins and other Internet and FirstClass redistributors, as well as Mac and Amiga users (see also Other_versions/ subdirectory for "fancy" formatted versions of the Guide.)

netguide.faq

(This FAQ has not been revised in a long time and, as there are now other sources, it is kept around mostly for historical purposes.) This is Joke's Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (FAQ) document about EGttI. It should answer almost any query about EGttI as it is very in-depth, covering the purpose, creation, and location of EGttI including all versions/ formats and multiple archive sites. Get it! READ it!
