All you ever wanted to know about Usenet
|

|

Fourth Edition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Initial Release, 08-26-1990
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This list of Usenet Files was compiled in order that you can get the
|
||
|
|
best out of Usenet while at the same time following the basic Network
|
||
|
|
Rules. Many a times there have been complaints from the Usenet Community
|
||
|
|
about the new users not following the proper Nettiquette or are unaware of
|
||
|
|
the documentation available on the subject. This is an attempt to
|
||
|
|
demystify Usenet. More installments and updates will follow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the previous releases, I tried to keep the contents of this ZIP simple
|
||
|
|
but believe that it wouldn't hurt to add some documents of a more technical
|
||
|
|
nature. RFC822 and RFC1153 attempt to show some more technical aspects of
|
||
|
|
Usenet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also upload the latest Canadian and World UUCP maps to CRS. Look for
|
||
|
|
UCAN0791.ZIP and UMAP9107.ZIP. These are July 91 Canadian and World Usenet
|
||
|
|
maps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can find me on Canada Remote Systems in Toronto, in Usenet
|
||
|
|
Conference 8, where I am one of the Conference Coordinators. If you have
|
||
|
