Well, I AM planning to write some articles. I've got some ideas too. But until
now I lack the time to really get something going. Let's dump my ideas anyway.

I think everyone has at least one big hobby, something she/he knows very much
about.  For me that is Kate Bush, because I'm a Kate Bush fan.  What about
everyone writing an article about his hobby.  Of course, you should stick to
the most basic and most interesting and most funny details and not write many
pages about why Kate is such a great artist or why your favourite Porsche 928S
is so superb or why Ruud Gullit is the best soccer player.

What do WE think of this. Please post this, don't send it to me, because it's
supposed to be a discussion about writing and reading the Known Guide.


Ben.

I um, noticed a rather severe logistical error in that guide entry saying that Marvin's brain is, or was, the Earth: When Marvin found the square root of -1, did his brain indeed explode as the Earth did? I think not, therefore Marvin's brain was not the Earth. Onward with the attempt to find the question, guys. Just bang those rocks together...

to contribute just as soon as I can find the time to do so.

Hello again, all...  brief follow-up on TG! stuff:

The DOS version 1.00 WILL be out "soon" (can't be more specific cos I've
been flooded with school junk lately)...

The WINDOWS version will follow pretty quickly after the DOS 1.00 is done;
at this point, TG! for Windows is still "vapor-ware" (ie, just a lot of
hot air) but the portability from DOS to Win is going to be very easy
using Borland's TP for Windows 1.5 since it supports the nifty Turbo
Vision OOP routines.

Thus, if OS/2 can run Win 3.1 programs (and I hear that the next bug-fix
release will have the 3.1 support for OLE, MultiMedia, etc) then y'all
can use "TGW" (TG for Windows) which WILL be out, completed and done,
before the semester's over!

NOW -- on to UNIX stuff -- there IS a shell of some sort on the FTP here
at vela.acs.oakland.edu called TUG (I admit I haven't looked at it, but
the dox seems to indicate it's operational)... Thus, why not FTP over
and check it out?  (There's two files total; one's a .Z, and the other is
a capture of the author's posts to alt.g-g at the time, announcing the
system and its commands, etc.)

Emily,

The purpose of this group (an offshoot of alt.fan.douglas-adams)
is to actually create a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy like the 
one described in the DNA books.  There already exists guide reading
software for PC compatibles.  Everyone is supposed to be contributing
articles on things real and imagined in the HHG style.  Steve baker at
vela.acs.oakland.edu (swbaker) manages the ftp site.

Hope this helps

well guys, it's like this, I can see a  whole lot of you want to be counted in to something and I'm sure it seems all really worthwhile and stuff and you keep 
mentioning hitchikers which is definitely cool by me but like I don't understand
I 'd offer to count me in too, but gee what would I be getting myself into and  like is it something to do with really hard to do computer technialities and    you know basically why and you really should explain you know to people like me who'd really like to contribute but don't know what they're supposed to be 
contributing and I've got a lot of used mars bar wrappers if you can put them to use  somewhere and ....stuff.... and yeah....?
