There is no plain text version of the handbook on http://www.freebsd.org, at least not one that I can find, but there is a plain text version on the cd (and probably installed on your hard drive) in /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.ascii. One way to get a plain text ("ascii") version of the handbook from www.freebsd.org is to download the *.ps version, run ps2ascii on it, and then use fmt on the result. You can give fmt some options to change the target and maximum line lengths it uses. Annelise
