Basically what I did was edit the exisiting information. I put it in a more consistent format (and reformatted a bit to make printing in DOS easier) and reorganized the files with all similar information in the same file. No information from the original files was omitted, however numerous small typos and inaccuracies were corrected. I've put them up at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd. The are available now by typing in the names of the files (below). In a few minutes I'll have an html interface available at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/readme.html. You need to type the filenames in lower case. I can send the whole package tgz'ed if desired. Please direct any feedback to -stable. I'll be on tonight and I can make changes as desired.
