INTRODUCTION


This file is a tutorial to help individuals  new to using Frost .  It is an attempt to assist you to become successful fairly quickly with the frost application.  This tutorial does not pretend to be an exhaustive resource for all elements of the frost application.  This tutorial is intended  to help you to gain confidence in using  the frost application for message sending and reading and file retrieval and uploading.  An excellent file for learning more of the features of frost is located  here.

Authors note:  This tutorial covers features found in the stable version of frost as well as some of the features that are a part of the new unstable cutting edge versions of frost.  If you come upon a section that does not seem to apply to your version of frost, please disregard that section.  It most likely refers to the newer versions of  frost, which this author highly recommends you download and try (doing a clean install of course).  These unstable versions are clearly marked in the downloads section of the Frost website.  The unstable versions include security enhancement features intended to help frost to be a viable messaging/file tool for the forseeable future.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This tutorial would not be complete without acknowledging the original frost creator - Jantho.  We are ever so indebted to his tireless efforts to provide the freenet community with a useful and useable messaging/file exchange application.  Also thanks go to new developers who are hard at work ( or is that hardly working?  ha! ha!) to improve frost so that it may be a viable freenet application for some time to come.  This includes Sandworm, zab, FillaMent, and any others whom this author may not be familiar with who are actively working to improve frost.
