"Unenglish" Pages
I apologize to non-English readers but these pages have an
English version only. Some excuses:
-
when talking about computing, English can be fairly precise
and concise, quite more than other languages
-
I have little time for writing - one version is enough to
maintain :-)
Perhaps this situation will change in the future. Meanwhile,
I heartily recommend any one of these resources:

I feel rather embarrassed as it is a long time I have
consulted them myself...
