It is available by FTP and Gopher as both a single ASCII text file and as a Gopher search. It is small and patchy at present but my hope is that other people will contribute definitions to it and it will grow to be a really useful USENET resource. So, if you find your favourite concept is missing, send me a definition, or if something's not there and you subsequently find the definition elsewhere, mail it to me. The Gopher server also contains Gopher links to other reference works: The Usenet Language List, The Jargon Dictionary, The Acronym File, The Concise Oxford Dictionary, Webster's Dictionary. If you know of any other dictionaries (files or servers) please LMK.
