This Is The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Hackers' Dictionary. *****This file should be named jargn10.txt or jargn10.zip****** Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, jargn11.txt. VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, jargn10a.txt. This choice was made by popular demand for this date, due to the massive influx of new students and a new paper publication. Our normal choice would be not to release two reference texts in the same month other than for this demand, which appears to be in an extreme position at the moment as we are also receiving requests for zip and area code directories. Another request we have received is to put the introductory part of reference works at the end, so that the reference work itself begins with the main body of the work itself, after the shortest possible introduction as to how to use it so the instruction set does not have to be gone past to get to the body each time. You are invited to send your suggestions on this. If we get enough, we will re-release this file, with the lengthy documentations at the end of the file contained herein. Project Gutenberg is working on creating a simple, childlike (if you will) network guide, "A Child's Garden of the Internet." If you have any suggestions for inclusions, and/or could take a few minutes to write a "Ten Minute Tutorial" on any subject you feel worthwhile. These should be directed at the absolute novices of the networks, and should presume little or no previous knowledge (we are even including how to control-c in each tutorial, as the tutorials are each supposed to be a stand alone event taking the nominal "Ten Minutes" to expose the novices to a particular part of the networks, or to a particular resource. . .even if that is a resource directed at other resources, such as Gopher, Prospero and others. This could be an easy way to get your name in print in both etext and paper publishing, as we had hardly announced A Child's Garden before we were approached for paper publishing. 1
