BURKS home site reference

About your PC · Languages · Internet · Linux

The documents on this CD were all taken from sites elsewhere on the Internet, and many of them are updated frequently, so by the time you buy this CD some of them will inevitably be out of date (although the differences are likely to be fairly minor in most cases). This list gives the home sites for each of the documents on this CD so that you can get always yourself a copy of the latest version. The organisation of the list is based on the categories defined in the main index. If you just want to locate a particular document on the CD, refer to the main document index instead.

Some of the documents here are marked as being "reproduced by permission". In some cases, this is because the copyright notice restricts distribution on a CD-ROM, although other forms of distribution might be permitted. If you want to redistribute any of the documents on this CD in any other form, check the copyright notice and if you are still in doubt, contact the author of the document in question. Note that where I was granted permission, it was in all cases on the explicit condition that distribution would be for non-profit purposes only.

The documents listed here and their home sites were checked in June/July 1997. Note that in some cases (e.g. FAQs which are posted as plain text to Usenet newsgroups, or Internet RFCs which originated as text documents) there is no home site as such, and in these cases the "home site" listed is actually a reference to one of many sites where the document can be found.
