Notes

The Handbook HTML pages are also available as ZIP file (see the Zipfile Reference for more info). The original version of the handbook is available at http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~mendel/gta/ (in case you got it somewhere else) and is being continuously updated. You will also find some kind of change log there.

This Handbook is currently edited by Michael Mendelsohn. Contributions are invited and very necessary! Use any old format, I'll structure it for you if necessary...

Bugs

At this time the handbook is very far from complete. Some more stuff is in the works, though...
