    * WHAT ABOUT AN OVERVIEW OF THIS FAQ LIST?

   Enclosed in this posting you'll find 5 files from the Texinfo version
(cf below) of The Guide:

  (0) NEWS, some informational stuff, that explains what happened since
      the last issue of this posting/FAQ/README; the most recent changes
      and whatever...

  (1) WELCOME, the original, official welcome message by the Electronic
      Frontier Foundation's Mitchell Kapor; the foundation that hired
      Adam Gaffin for this writing job.

  (2) README, a file that answers most of your questions
      concerning the Texinfo project of The Guide.

  (3) SERVERS, a file that lists all Internet resources/locations
      The Guide is accessible from; either as simple file(s), or as

      available versions of The Guide (cf README for the differences).

  (5) CREDITS, a list of all the people (consciously and unconsciously)
      involved in this project. If I should have forgotten you, please
      I'd regret it. Please, drop me your address once again.

    * WHERE'S A WORLD-WIDE WEB TEST-DRIVE INSTALLATION?

   For a test drive, point your favorite Worl Wide Web client to URL:
"http://www.Germany.EU.net/books/eegtti/eegtti.html" therein you'll
find some maps that contain the other W3 sites around the globe. This
Guide is the most read on a global scale!

            -=- * -=-

    * WHAT ABOUT UPDATES?

   The Guide has been publish by MIT Press as *Everybody's Guide to the
Internet" in July 1994. Adam Gaffin continues to update the book on a
monthly basis; look for "Everybody's Internet Update" postings on USENET,
in group alt.internet.services and comp.org.eff.talk.

   You can subscribe to a mailing list, an then have updates automatically
delivered to you. Email subscription works by sending a message body of
"subscribe net-update" [no quotes] to [e-mail]

            -=- * -=-

    * SO, WHATZ THE PROBLEM? (with apologies to Douglas Adams)

   There are of course many problems connected with young ape-descended life
forms, of which some of the most popular are `What is life all about?'
`Will I ever be able really to understand young ape-descended life forms
of the oppopsite sex?' And `What is EFF's (Extended) Guide to the Internet?'

   The Encyclopedia Galactica defines the "EFF's Guide to the Internet"
as a mostly interesting attempt by the EFF to bring knowledge to the people.
The marketing division of Sirius Cybernectics Corporation defines "EFF's
Guide to the Internet" as `Your Electronic Online Pal Who's Fun To
Be With.'  The Texinfo editor of "EFF's (Extended) Guide to the Internet"
defines it as `The Best Stuff I've Been Involved In Since Breakfast.'

   Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the
good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future
defined the "EFF's Guide to the Internet" as a mostly interesting but
useless attempt by the EFF to bring knowledge to the people...?

            -=- * -=-

    * WHO WROTE IT?

   This Guide, originally written by Adam Gaffin, then a senior news reporter,
of Middlesex News, Boston, MA, comes in an easily understood language, and
provides almost all information you'll ever need to survive, when you got
stranded in this mindboggling universe called Internet, ie. the Net of all
Nets on this crazy planet. So take this writing as kind of electronic
Babelfish, that helps you to understand what the hell everybody out there
is talking about.

            -=- * -=-

    * WILL I BE ABLE TO READ IT?

   The Guide is available (in one format at least) for all currently running
computer architectures, from Amiga to CRAY, although some IBM EBCDIC main-
frames might have problems with the ASCII versions. But usually you won't
work with these anyway. (And thus won't have to worry what EBCDIC is all
about...) It comes in printable (TeX DVI, PostScript, ASCII) and
electronically readable formats (World-Wide Web/HTML, GNU Info). You will
definitely be able to read one version at least!

            -=- * -=-

    * WHERE DO I FIND The Guide?

   The Guide actually *is* wide-spread, globally speaking; distribution site
locations range from KOREA to JAPAN to AUSTRALIA to USA to CANADA to the
UNITED KINGDOM to GERMANY to SWITZERLAND to AUSTRIA to BETELGEUZE to SOUTH
AFRICA to RUSSIA. Only LATIN AMERICA is missing at present. So what about
the Southern hemisphere, folks? Where are you, Netizens? (The complete list
is appended below.)

            -=- * -=-

    * HOW CAN I CONTRIBUTE?

   If you find any mistakes/typos/inaccuracies/whatever in this posting
drop me a mail; if you have newer informatio than the ones listed
below drop me a mail; if you have questions, please folks, *READ THE GUIDE
FIRST*, it's all in there.

Given you're a system/ftp/WWW administrator: Please consider installation of
The Guide on your site; and please let me know. The more sites carry The Guide,
the sooner these postings will go away... ;-)

Anyway, enjoy the trip!

SPREAD THE WORD:

    "EFF's (Extended) Guide to the Internet is now available,
     in a variety of easily convertible formats *and*
     at your local laser printer."


            -=- * -=-

    * WHAT IS EFF's (EXTENDED) GUIDE TO THE INTERNET?

   The extended version of The Guide is a Texinfo [t:ekinfo] (NOT TeXinfo!!)
dition of a book once entitled "Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet", that
was recently (July 1994) renamed to "EFF's Guide to the Internet." The latter
is written by Adam Gaffin for a joint project of Apple Computer, Inc. and
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). The extended version is a gift
from the author of this FAQ to the EFF, and contains (a) the Guide, and
(b) many more things either from the Net, or from the many kind souls who
sent in their pieces.

            -=- * -=-

    * WHERE DO I GET THE HYPERCARD STACK?

   In the beginning (August 1993), Steve Cisler courtesy of the Apple Library,
used a Macintosh computer and converted Adams original writing into a
so-called HyperCard stack; this stack, readable by the HyperCard software
that comes bundled with every Mac, is still available via anonymous FTP from
EFF's server "ftp.eff.org" as file "/pub/Net_info/EFF_Net_Guide/bdgtti.hqx"

However, this version is completely out of date; if you're a passionate
Apple/HyperCard hacker and want to volunteer in creating an up-to-date
version, please send e-mail to [e-mail].

            -=- * -=-

    * ARE THERE MORE VERSIONS?

   Under "ftp.eff.org/pub/Net_info/EFF_Net_Guide/Other_versions/ there reside
several other formats created by volunteers, e.g. AmigaGuide (Extended),
MS-Windows Help (Orig), WordPerfect (Orig), SeeText (Macintosh) and GeoWorks
Write (PC) formats. The latter by Adam himself (cf. VERSIONS below).
Some contain the "Extended" text; some the original/core manual text only.

            -=- * -=-

    * AND THE ORIGINAL ASCII?  WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

   Also available in the same directory is Adam's original ASCII
version "netguide.eff" (currently at version 2.2) that served as the
starting point for this Texinfo based release.

Besides several "bug fixes," witty quotes, corrections, including
some complete rewrites (cf Chapter 8) and the new layout, some more
value has been added; notably, two personal articles from EFFector
Online, the EFF's bi-weekly news magazine (available in comp.org.eff.news
on USENET), now serving as superb afterwords, and some other
contribution of Netizens I found quite worthwhile reading over
the past years:

            -=- * -=-

    * NOW, WHAT'S IN THERE?

   * "A Slice of Life in my Virtual Community" by Howard Rheingold
describes the social life on the Internet from the WELL's point
of view.

   * "A Statement of Principle" by SF author Bruce Sterling
discusses some moral and legal issues you will definitely get to
know when becoming a "cybernaut" on Internet.

   * "Preserving and Promoting the ``Internet Culture''" by Peter Deutsch
explains some of the cultural background Netizens used to live in.

   * "Subject: TIME Article on Internet" by Philip Elmer-Dewitt
shows , that even the non-virtual world (aka "reality") finally got
interested in cyberspace, and the cybernauts on Internet.

   * "Subject: A Perspective on NREN" by Grag Chartrand *parodies*
the NSF's proposed US National Education and Research Network.

Moreover a bibliography has been stuffed into this edition:

   * A comprehensive list of Paperware related to the Internet
(This is an updated version of the bibliography section that
comes with the first edition of "Zen and the Art of the
Internet" by Brendan Kehoe, plus part of the reference section of
Henry Edward Hardy's Master's Thesis "The History of the Net"
written at the School of Communications, Grand Valley State
University, Allendale, MI 49401. Version 7.2 was posted to
comp.org.eff.talk on August 28, 1993). Kevin Savetz' "Unofficial
internet Book List" will also find its way into this list, soon.

            -=- * -=-

            -=- * -=-

    * WHY DO YOU WANT THIS?

   Why do you want this? Well, for one thing, it's better than Bloomfield's
"99 more things to do in zero gravity", and then it's free. So what
else do you expect? Ok, for an encore: it definitely saves you some time
and trouble: traditionally users learned by word of mouth, stumbling
upon things, being trapped by dozens of pitfalls, and laughed at by
systems wizards. These times are OVER!

This guide should serve as a first straw to clutch at when you're stranded
in this mindboggling universe called Internet; and are curious about what
else can be done. It also presents the fundamental topics on a "rookie"
level that are all too often assumed and considered trivial by many more
experienced network users/admins/gurus.

            -=- * -=-

    * WHERE DO YOU GET IT?

   As mentioned before, it is available from the EFF's FTP server
"ftp.eff.org" in the "pub/Net_info/EFF_Net_Guide/" directory.

Or check out the European default server "ftp.Germany.EU.net" in
"pub/books/eff-guide". See below for instructions on "How to configure
The Guide". AND read the SERVERS file that comes with the Texinfo distribution
for more servers than you probably ever need...

            -=- * -=-

    * DISTRIBUTION DIRECTORY:

                 |-README                  // FAQ file
                 |-README.VMS              // help for VMS folks
|-extended-guide-|-eegtti-2.3.ps.gz        // PostScript
                 |-eegtti-2.3.dvi.gz       // TeX DVI file
                 |-eegtti-2.3-US.dvi.gz    // TeX DVI US paper
                 |-eegtti-2.3-US.ps.gz     // TeX PS US paper
                 |-eegtti-2.3.info.gz      // GNU Info file
                 |-eegtti-2.3.txt.gz       // TEXT file
                 |-eegtti-2.3.html.tar.gz  // HTML (WWW) files
                 |-eegtti-2.3.amiga.lha    // AmigaGuide files
                 |-eegtti-2.3.tar.gz       // all Texinfo sources

Both sites can uncompress the files "on the fly", i.e., you do not need to
have the GNU gunzip utility. Just get the files with the ".gz" extension:

   get eegtti-2.3.ps

instead of:

   get eegtti-2.3.ps.gz


            -=- * -=-

    * WHAT ARE ALL THESE FILES?

   Now, how to read it. The file eegtti-2.3.dvi is a DVI (DeVice
Independent) file created by the TeX typesetting system. Filters
exist to convert these DVI files into printer-specific files for
a variety of printers. Also included is the file eegtti-2.3.ps,
a PostScript version. eegtti-2.3.txt is the plain ASCII version
of eegtti-2.3.info, ie. the latter can be browsed either using
EMACS in INFO mode, or any GNU info browser, e.g. "info", or
"xinfo". Just type "info -f eegtti-2.3.info" and there you go.

For the folks who want to print the PS version on a Hewlett-Packard
laser printer with Postscript option, take care. You cannot print
the file double-sided, which results in "0.5in upwards shifted" even pages;
but printing it single-paged is ok. This is obvioulsy due to a bug in the
HP-printer's firmware, and was reported by Ed Moore of HP, using a
LaserJet 4Si (with PostScript option, of course).

Dawn Cooley reported troubles with a Texas Instruments microLaser Turbo.
After downloading Adobe's error handler, The Guide printed fine.

The tar file with suffix ".html" contains The Guide in some 300 files in
HyperText Markup Language format. They can be thrown into your
system's World-Wide Web directory, and then browsed using the
various WWW tools. E.g. from within NCSA Mosaic "Load Local" eeg_toc.html,
and there you go! An alternative is to set the default home page environment
variable with: "setenv WWW_HOME eeg_toc.html" which makes The Guide the
HOME page (press the HOME button to get back to the top) on startup.

(Well, at least when NCSA Mosaic is installed on your system. If it's
not, BUG YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR! He obviously missed the
leading edge of today's infosystems technologies.)

In the tar file eegtti-2.3.tar.gz (a gzip'ed tar file---ask
YOUR LOCAL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR and/or Unix guru how to extract
the files from this), there are a number of files suffixed by
".texi". These are all the Texinfo sources to this guide. A print-it-
yourself-kit. If set-up properly you can make it print the Guide in
any PostScript font you like. But we'll leave this as an excercise for
the upcoming hacker generation.

New in the collection is eegtti-2.3.amiga.lha, an archive containing
the AmigaGuide (cf VERSIONS below) version of the book.

            -=- * -=-

    * FYI: WHAT IS TeX?

   FYI: TeX is a free typesetting system by Don Knuth of Stanford;
the source of which you can FTP or buy on a tape. Texinfo is a
package of macros written on top of TeX by the GNU Project for
easy manual creation. See the FTP Chapter in The Guide on how to
obtain TeX (e.g. ftp.Germany.EU.net/pub/packages/TeX).

            -=- * -=-

    * HOW TO CREATE A DVI FILE?

   Well, first you must configure The Guide to produce an US letter
size, or a European A4 paper size version: this can easily be done
with the provided "configure" shell script (C-shell), eg.:

   example % configure --letter
Or:
   example % configure --a4

which results in the following message from "configure":

EFF's (Extended) Guide to the Internet [Texinfo edition 2.3, cm font]
*** configured for A4 paper size.

Note, that "example %" represents your system's input prompt, that might look
different for you, eg. on MS-DOS you're used to see something like

   C:\DUMMY>

You might also configure The Guide "by hand", e.g. for the letter size version:

   example % cp config/Makefile.us Makefile
   example % cp config/eegtti.us eegtti.texi

And for the A4 version:

   example % cp config/Makefile.a4 Makefile
   example % cp config/eegtti.a4 eegtti.texi

To create a DVI file of your own (e.g. to produce an A4 paper version),
simply run "texi2dvi" on eegtti.texi twice; or use the Makefile included;
it does almost *everything* for you (...although "make coffee" doesn't work,
yet). All there is to do is to type:

   example % make dvi

It's really that easy! (If you have the appropriate tools installed, and
a *real* operating system running on your box...)

            -=- * -=-

    * MORE ON CONFIGURATIONS?

   The general usage of the "configure" script is as follows:

usage: configure --<paper-size> --font <family>
       --a4/--letter for <paper-size> (a4)
       --font times/palatino/bookman/etc. for <family> (cm)

e.g.:  configure --a4 --font palatino

which results in the following message from "configure":

EFF's (Extended) Guide to the Internet [Texinfo edition 2.3, palatino font]
*** configured for A4 paper size.

This means you can also set the PostScript font that are contained in the
"fonts" directory; you must also have a recent version of Tom Rockicki's
dvips(1) program installed on your system.

            -=- * -=-

    * WHAT ABOUT A GNU INFO FILE?

   Well, some moons have passed since edition 1.00, and now it's there!
But you need to patch "makeinfo v1.55" with the included "makeinfo-1.55.
patch" file, and compile it with "-DJOKES=1" defined. Then type "make info"
for the Info, and "make txt" for a TEXT/ASCII version.

            -=- * -=-

    * HOW TO CREATE THE HTML FILES?

   Just say "make html" which runs "texi2html" on "eegtti.texi" and
creates a bunch of HTML files; Note that "texi2html" needs Larry Wall's
"perl" program to be installed on your system. Maybe you need to edit the
first line in the perl script "#!/usr/local/bin/perl" to whatever
directory "perl" is installed on your system. The next version won't need
Lionel Cons' texi2html script anymore; Texinfo will support HTML+ in
"native" mode!

            -=- * -=-

    * HOW TO HANDLE TYPOS, MISTAKES, AND OTHER BUGS?

   Given, that this is an ever changing effort, some "bugs" or other
"quirks" are inevitable, that might have been overseen during Texinfo
production. If you find something, drop me an e-mail; if you have any
comments or questions, want to make further addition or corrections,
please send "all-your-stuff" to the address below. I'll probably include
them into future releases of this guide.

   Thanx in advance for your patience!

        -- Oscar Wilde

            -=- * -=-

   This file lists the currently (September 1994) officially available
electronic archive sites/services, that either distribute "EFF's (Extended)
Guide to the Internet", or let you browse through it using the latest of
infosystems technologies...

Please note that the Texinfo based version (below addressed as "The Guide")
is different from the original HyperCard and ASCII files, (cf the README
for more info on this issue).

            -=- * -=-

        * THE WHOLE STORY COMPRESSED

   The Guide comes in a variety of formats: PostScript (.ps), TeX DVI (.dvi),
GNU Info (.info), plain text (.txt), HyperText Markup Language (.html),
AmigaGuide (.amiga) and the complete source distribution (including some
patch files, you'll need to use Makeinfo-1.55, and texi2html-1.30) bundled
in a Tarfile (.tar).

Depending on the system adminstrator, ie. the disk space he's willing to give
away for The Guide, these files will be stored in one of some dozen of
compression "flavors". Thus, here's an excerpt from the FTP chapter of
The Guide, that explains the whole story:

FTP (Mining the Net, part II)
*****************************
[..]
   There are a wide variety of compression methods in use.  You can tell
which method was used by the last one to three letters at the end of a file.
Here are some of the more common ones and what you'll need to un-compress the
files they create (and these decompression programs can all be located
through archie).

`.txt'
`.TXT'
     By itself, this means the file is a document, rather than a program.
     In all likelihood this is a plain ASCII text file, readable with
     any text editor, though some users may experience line-ending problems
     (fixable with dos2unix, CRLF, and other utilities, or by settings in their
     text editors/word processors) when transferring between platforms, especially
     between Unix and DOS either director, or from Mac to Unix.

`.ps'
`.PS'
     A PostScript document (in Adobe's page description language).  You can
     print this file on any PostScript capable printer, or use a previewer,
     like GNU project's GhostScript.

`.doc'
`.DOC'
     Is another common suffix for documents. No de-compression is needed,
     unless it is followed by...

`.z'
     A file compressed by the Unix `pack' utility.  It uses Huffman coding
     (which minimizes redundancy) on each byte.  Type `unpack filename.z' or
     `gunzip filename.z' to decompress it.  This suffix was also briefly used
     to indicate gzip'ed files before `.gz' was adopted.

`.Z'
     This is a Unix compression method.  To uncompress the file, type
     `uncompress filename.Z' or `gunzip filename.z' and hit enter at your
     host system's command prompt. If it's a text file, you can read it
     online by typing `zcat file.txt.Z |more' at your host system's command
     line. There is a Macintosh program called "MacCompress" that you can use
     on your machine if you want to download the file (use archie to find
     where you can get it!). There's an MS-DOS equivalent, often found as
     `u16.ZIP', which means it is itself compressed in the ZIP format.

`.zip'
`.ZIP'
     A format originating on DOS-based IBM clones.  Use the PKZIP package
     (usually found as PKZ204G.EXE or something similar) for DOS extraction.
     Users of other platforms should look for InfoZip's PK[Un]Zip clone,
     or another utility.  See ftp.eff.org, /pub/Net_Info/Tools/Archive_comp/
     for several of these tools, for several platforms.  ZIP is widely
     regarded as one of the best (fastest + most-compressive) formats,
     though ARJ runs about neck-and-neck with it.

`.gz'
     The GNU project's compression format. A variant of the PKZIP format. Use
     `gunzip filename.gz' to uncompress. As with many of these formats, tools
     are now available to extract gzip files on many platforms besides Unix.

`.zoo'
`.ZOO'
     A Unix and MS-DOS format. Requires the use of a program called zoo.

`.Hqx'
`.hqx'
    A Macintosh format that needs BinHex or a tool that includes BinHexing
    capability (e.g. StuffIt, Fetch, etc.) for decoding.  HQX, like asc2bin
    xxencode, and the ubiquitous uuencode is used to translate a binary
    into an ASCII file for transmission or for storage on "hostile" systems
    Unix, DOS, etc. are "hostile" to Mac files, as they do not preserve
    the Mac resource forks, and can ruin Mac binaries.

`.shar'
`.Shar'
     A Unix format. Use unshar.

`.tar'
     Another Unix format, often used to glue several related files and/or
     completet directory trees into one big file.  Use the `tar' command.

`.TGZ'
`.TAZ'
     Sometimes used for compressed tar archives: `.tar.gz or `.tar.Z',
     respectively, that are stored on "3-letter-suffix-only" systems (a.k.a.
     DOS PCs).

`.sit'
`.Sit'
     A Macintosh format, requires StuffIt.

`.sea'
`.Sea'
    A Macintosh Self-Extracting Archive.  Just run it, and it unarchives
    itself, though the application that created it (e.g. StuffIt or
    CompactPro) can also extract it's contents, and utilities for non-Macs
    can do the same with this and other Mac formats.

`.cpt'
`.Cpt'
    Macintosh CompactPro format, extractable with the utility of the same
    name, or (like .sea and .sit files) with any number of "multi-extractors"
    like Expand Now.

`.lz'
`.lha'
     The Amiga variant of LHARC. It's the most common Amiga archiving method,
     and made with the program `lha' or `lz'.

`.lzh'
`.LZH'
     The PC-clone DOS variant of LHARC.  Uses a program called LHA to
     create and extract.  LHA will also usually handle the Amiga versions,
     though as with tar files, the filenames of the contents may be trucated
     by DOS's "8.3" limitation on filename length.

`.arc'
`.ARC'
     Once a common format, like Unix compress it is obsolete, and does not
     compress well.  It does, however, exist for almost all platforms,
     and sticks around because it is, after all these years, still the
     (increasingly frequently ignored) FidoNet standard for mail compession.
     Tools for extraction are numerous, but due to haphazard implementation,
     decompression of ARC files will frequently need to be attempted with
     several utilities before a proper "fit" is found.

'.arc'
'.ARJ'
     Principle competitor to ZIP in the DOS PC world.  If you're on another
     platform, it may be difficult to find a way to extract this.  Go bug
     a friend with the DOS ARJ utilty to do it or you.

Formats used in the distribution of thsi project include:

`.html'
`.HTML'
     A HyperText Markup Language file.  Like any number of SGML derivatives,
     HTML is a method of adding word-processor-like and hypertext features
     to plain ASCII text.  HTML files *can* be read with any text editor,
     but are typically filled with control codes.  The real way to read
     these is with an HTML/WWW browser such as lynx, Cello, Mosaic, MacWeb,
     etc.

`.etx', '.ETX'
`.setext', `.Setext'
    Like HTML, Setext is another markup style for ASCII text files, but far
    less "obtrusive" to plain-text readers (and far less feature-rich for
    those using custom browsers).  Special browsing programs do exist,
    such as sv and Easy View.  This format is used mostly for electronic
    publications, while HTML is used most frequently for World Wide Web
    server pages.

NOTICE
    * If you don't know how to uncompress gzip'ed files (.gz), or any
    other howevercompressed files, just don't tell FTPmail the suffix!
    FTPmail is clever enough to *automatically* uncompress the file(s)
    split them, and mail them to you.

    * <file-name#> is the *full* filename, ie. including the PATH!

            -=- * -=-

        * FSP SERVERS

   You need to have the FSP client software installed on your system.
If you don't know what FSP, clients, or software is, better choose a
different service; or read the FSP FAQ, and/or alt.comp.fsp.
