Jargon File Resources

This page indexes all the WWW resources associated with the Jargon File and its print version, The New Hacker's Dictionary. It's as official as anything associated with the Jargon File gets. Note: you're best off not linking to pages below this one, as the HTML structure underneath may change without notice.

Everything below was generated for the Jargon File's 4.0.0 version (released 25 July 1996), which corresponds to the third paper edition of The New Hacker's Dictionary due out in September '96. Expect 4.0.1 sometime around Yule, and a fourth paper edition in maybe three years.
