- This directory contains a draft of the user documentation for Gofer.
-
- For convenience, the documentation has been split into a number of files,
- one for each chapter and appendix. The complete manual can be rebuilt with
- the command cat ch* appx*
-
- The complete manual is 124 pages long!!! You will probably want to be
- selective about what you read and, in the interests of all of those poor
- trees, selective about what you print -- particularly bearing in mind the
- fact that this is only a draft and likely to change! Another point worth
- mentioning is that the files are just plain ASCII text files -- they can
- be printed out without problem on a dot matrix printer ...
-
- Entries marked with a `+' in the list below are likely to be of most interest
- to those who are already familiar with Orwell.
-
- These files may contain many errors; I would be grateful for any corrections
- or suggestions!
