How to use this document

As the amount of information available over the networks has been increasing, so have the methods by which this information can be obtained. No longer is direct usage of FTP the only, or even the most frequent, method of obtaining data; we now have Gopher, Wais, and WWW, as well as many site-specific interfaces. Because the information itself may be accessible in many different ways, this FAQ will identify resources in terms of URLs (Uniform Resource Locators). This will also help us convert this FAQ to a hypertext document, so that it can be used with a WWW browser to go directly to any of the listed sources.
