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. - -Disclaimer ----------- -This document was intended for informational purposes ONLY, the author and -the National Network of Anarchists and Nihilists do not endorse or support -any illegal action presented here or in any other documents which we -release. The only motivation for the writing of this document is purely -for educating the general public. The author and the National Network of -Anarchists and Nihilists will not be held responsible for any actions by -the reader of this document. - -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. - -12/02/91 04:43am -- cgit v1.2.3
