Re: [Q] PDF version od NS Notes and Docs ?
Dear All
Thanks to Nader Salehi in ISI, I obtained pdf version of NS Notes and Document. It's so good to use "search" feature of pdf :>
One thing: The currently available version of NS notes in ps format is published on July 1 1999 while the pdf version is published on June 16 1999. I hope there is little difference between those at least for novice users such as me ^.^
I thank Nader again for pdf file.
You can get a copy of pdf version : lynx http://www.isi.edu/~salehi/ns_doc.pdf
