Grex Scifi Item 21: "Guide" now on-line (sort of)
Entered by robh on Tue Apr 13 00:56:44 UTC 1993:

I just received an archive of the latest version of "The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Known Galaxy."  For those of you who don't recognize it,
this is a Usenet project to create a comprehensive guide much like the
fictional "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

After I received it, uudecoded it, and downloaded it - it doesn't
work on my machine!  Not enough RAM, I'd guess.  Anyway, so it won't
be a complete loss, and so meg won't get any angrier with me, I've left
the file on the system.  It's /tmp/tg136.zip, and should work on
DOS machines that work better than mine.  Have fun, and let me know how
it is!

     Um, Rob, I don't seem to have file permission.

That Guide would be quite a cyber-archaeological find if it still exists.

Has anyone tried it on vDOS?
