This directory contains the current collection of Internet standards 
and proposed standards. The standards are called "request for comment"
(RFC) and the proposals IDEAs (an acronym for something too).

The file "index" contains a ls -lg listing of the directory.

There are index files "rfc-index" and "idea-index" as well as a collection
of IDEA abstracts in "idea-index-abs".

All other text files are compressed. The names of the rfcs are of the form
rfc0000.Z or rfc000.Z depending on the number. No leading 0s in the
numbers.

The ideas are stored as idea0000-00.Z with leading 0s.

Finally there is a list of TCP/IP and related implementations in
vendors-guide.doc.Z.
