Are you a JFW user who has sometimes wished for a complete set of
documentation in text format that you could study and search with
your favorite document reading program?  Now you can by
downloading the archive of about 1 meg in size from the address
http://www.empowermentzone.com/jfw35doc.zip

Here is a copy of the README file for further information:

January 26, 2000

This archive contains 60 plain text versions of all electronic
documentation I could find on JFW 3.5 from its installed files
and those on the HJ web site.  When more than one format was
available of the same file content, e.g., both a text and
Microsoft Word format, I chose the one with the more recent date
stamp.  When files with the same base name and different
extensions also differed in content, I numbered them
chronologically, e.g., jfwq1.txt and jfwq2.txt.  When a Windows
.hlp file had a corresponding .cnt file providing a table of
contents for the help, I combined them into a single file.  I
combined all documentation found as web pages into the single
jfw_ol.txt file (meaning JFW online documentation).

Besides this file at the beginning, the files are in descending
order by size.  The largest file, jfw.txt, seems to be the most
comprehensive and up to date, so I suggest searching it first to
answer a question.  Like other files converted from Windows help
format, it contains a line of 10 dashes and page break between
each topic, allowing one to conveniently browse by searching for
this sequence or navigating by page.

Regards,
Jamal Mazrui
