## Conventions Used
#### Size Suffixes
Within the documentation and in RomWBW in general, the use of size
suffixes KB, MB, GB, and TB refer to the binary variant as shown
below. The modern suffixes (KiB, MiB, etc.) are not used here because
they were not prevalent during the time that the RomWBW OSes were
used. This keeps all of RomWBW and associated applications consistent.

#### Links and URLs
Many of the references in the documentation to Internet addresses (URLs)
do not provide the address in the text. However, these links are
embedded and "clickable" within the documents. Your PDF viewer should
highlight these links in some manner (typically an alternate color
or an underline).
