-HOW TO PROPERLY WRITE AN ANARCHY FILE
--------------------------------------
-Written By The Freddy
-In Association With The National Network of Anarchists and Nihilists (NNAN)
-
-Introduction
-------------
- Have you seen the number of shitty anarchy files out there? It's
-pathetic the way some idiots try to write files. I wrote this to give
-those people and first time writers pointers on how to correctly write a
-file.

-Construction of a Good Anarchy File
------------------------------------
- There are many things to remember when writing a file. Here are
-some pointers:
-
- 1) Always have the date and time at the beginning of the file like
- I have done. This is the most important part of any anarchy
- file because some material is time-sensitive and it is also nice
- to know how out-dated a file is. A good example of this is the
- Jolly Roger Cookbook. A very nicely written piece, however
- there was no indication of when it was written. Most of the
- sources to obtain slim jims, lock picks, etc. were out of
- business by the time I first got hold of it.
- 2) Always use ASCII. Not ANSI but ASCII. This is for several
- reasons. One is that some viewers, word processors, etc. do not
- or cannot support the extended characters. The same holds true
- for several types of printers. Second, I have what seems like
- millions of files that were written on Word Perfect, Word Star,
- Multimate, MS Word, etc. Most people don't have these editors
- or viewers. I remember it took me two weeks to convert the
- Terrorist's Cookbook to ASCII from the WP format so I could
- print it. And finally, ASCII files are smaller and there are
- several ASCII only editors that have all the same functions of
- expensive word processors. I personally use MULTI-EDIT V3.00b.
- Call your local 10 gig public domain board and you will find it
- or some other qualified ASCII text editor.
- 3) As a rule of thumb, set margins for 75 characters and never go
- beyond that. As mentioned before, a good ASCII editor will let
- you set up margins. This is mainly for printers. You may or
- may not believe it, but 90% of all anarchists print up files for
- easy reference. And some files have really strange margins. I
- once found a file with the right margin at column 100.
- 4) It is perfectly all right to FUCKIN' cuss in a file. It is also
- semi-acceptable(but lame) to say PHUCK, FONE, etc.; but never
- ever write like this:
- "so you want to be an anarchist? all ya gotta do is learn how to
- rebel and denounce all government laterz"
- Slang is okay, but learn to spell and for God's sake use proper
- punctuation and capitalization.
- 5) If you are going to include a diagram, schematic, or whatever,
- try not to do it yourself with ASCII characters if at all
- possible, unless you are good at it. Get someone else to do
- it for you. Very few people can draw a good ASCII schematic.
- If possible include two of each diagram or schematic. One in
- the text and one in ANSI format or .gif format. There are many
- draw programs out there. Also it's nice to find a self-loader
- for your .gif's. Keep the ASCII diagrams, as they will do in a
- pinch and not everyone can printout .gif files. ANSI is nice
- and all, but, generally, it should be avoided.
- 6) Do or have done what you are writing about. I once saw a file
- that scared me a bit. Here is part of it:
- "now that theoretically should be the right ratio. I dunno. Tell
- me if this works."
- Now if you don't know what the fuck you're writing about, then
- don't write about it. That simple. Also don't alter files. I
- once found a file where someone altered the ratios for nitro.
- Not to nice. If you've done it before, please don't. We don't
- need assholes like you.
- 7) You should have a good equipment, chemical, parts, or whatever
- list. It should also be complete. Like for instance a file
- construction of a olive box should tell you that:
- "Quantity Item Source
- -------- ---- ------
- 1 Small plastic box Radio Shack (R.S.270-224)
- 1 1" x 2" perboard Radio Shack (R.S.276-1395)"
- I don't know how many times I've seen files which tell you what
- to get but not specifically. Like:
- "get some resistors and 2 capacitors"
- Now if this author knew anything about electronics, he would
- have known that you need the specific voltages or whatever. Be
- specific.
- 8) Also remember, don't use tabs. People have tabs set up for
- different spaces. You get some pretty strange stuff sometimes.
- For instance someone might have tab set at 9 characters and you
- have it a 8 characters. There are also many printers that use
- funny tab spacings. When you try to view or print these files,
- you get stuff like:
- "**************************************************************
- * How to Make Your Very Own Home-Made Tennis Ball Launcher *
- * by *
- * The Stupid Anarchist *
- * *
- **************************************************************"
- Always use the space bar to indent.
- 9) A disclamer is also important. Even though you don't think so,
- your handle doesn't conceal your identity. The police, FBI,
- sectret service, or any other government agency(not to mention
- Ma Bell) has both the time and the resources to get you nailed
- if they feel like. Don't laugh at this point. It could save
- your life. Or maybe 20 years of it.
-
-Conclusion
-----------
- Well, I hope this file will better the quality of the files out
-there. I can be reached at The DeaTh BoX BBS--(714)970-6710--which is the
-home of NNAN. Well, it's getting late so until next time, adieu.
