- John Farrell (farrell@coral.cs.jcu.edu.au) 22/4/92
-
- The Guide is an amazingly ambitious project started by John Farrell in January
- 1990. After about 18 months he got sick to death of it and passed it on to
- Sverker Johansson. If you search for introduction, you will get the official
- introductory file for the Guide which is far more useful than this one!
- The guide is available by anonymous ftp from brolga.cc.uq.oz.au (thanks
- Bertie!) in the file pub/sfguide6.tar.Z. This includes Sverker's program
- gtex.c which will take the entire guide file and convert it to a rather nice
- format for tex (search for program to get the C code).
- Comments etc on this file and the wais availability to me, please.
