28 technology guides as plain text documents (or compressed
document collections) have been added to the Empowerment Zone
web site (http://www.empowermentzone.com). Once its front page is
loaded, you can locate a file by using the search feature of a web
browser to find a phrase in its description below. Alternatively,
you can retrieve a file directly using its specific URL, which is
the basic site address followed by a forward slash and then the
name of the file (all in lower case), e.g.,
http://www.empowermentzone.com/bitbybit.txt
The list of new files are presented in two ways below. For less
verbose reading, the first format provides the file name then its
description, separated by an equals sign. For the ability to
retrieve a file by clicking on its address with appropriate
software, the second format provides the file description then its
full address, separated by a hard return. In either case, a blank
line separates each file listed.
Here are the names and descriptions of the new files available:
