* See /pub/Net_info/Big_Dummy/bigdummy.faq for more detailed info! * If you want a plain text version of the Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet, get /pub/Net_info/Big_Dummy/bigdummy.txt A DOS text version is ZIPed up in bigd-?_?.zip, mainly for sysops. It has cr/lf's at the end of each line instead of just lf's, so other DOS users may want to grab it. Note that if you transfer ASCII files in ASCII instead of binary mode from our system directly to a DOS telenet/ftp client, it should convert lf to cr/lf for you automagically. For AmigaGuide, TeX DVI, TeXinfo, GNU Info, WWW/HTML, Windows .HLP, PostScript, Mac, GeoWorks Write, etc., versions, look in the Big-Dummys-Guide-Texi directory. A LaTeX version may be coming soon. This directory also contains another ASCII text version, based on the TeXinfo implementation; it may have some minor differences from the bdummy.txt text version (most notably some added material). The Cyberpoet's Guide to Virtual Culture, which is in pub/eff/Net_info/Cyber directory, as cyberpoet.gvc, will probably be of interest to you as well. It presents a sort of "Lesson Two" for the beginner, and should be explored after the BDGuide.
