We make several versions of the Jargon File available here. Also note that vh.tar.Z contains sources for a hypertext reader handy for browsing the File. jargon.text.Z is the original MIT/Stanford AI jargon file. jargon296.ascii.Z is the sixfold-expanded version published in 1991 as "The New Hacker's Dictionary" by MIT Press. This is the entire text, except for Guy Steele's and Eric Raymond's introductions and the "vietnam wall" credits list at the end (and of course no fancy fonts and cartoons). jargon298.ascii.Z: Jan 01 1992 update, with corrections and new entries. jargon299.ascii.Z: Apr 01 1992 update, with new entries from XEROX PARC and elsewhere.
