Understanding VPs

I'm helping to make an addition to Karajorma's FAQ, going over each and every filetype used by Freespace and describing what it is, how to modify it, and how to make your own. It will be linked from his FAQ but I'm :thepimp:ing it here as well.
Currently it has every table dissected except the weapons, which is coming later. I hope it will be of significant use to both new and experienced modders. Additions, clarifications, and suggestions are encouraged!

Is there a downloadable version of Karajorma's FAQ?

I only ask because it'd make it easier to peruse through offline, and there're ppl with dial-ups who might appreciate that, but mostly for the info on FRED and such, it'd be more convenient to have it right there then to find and load the site.

And also sometimes sites get lost, so there'd be plenty of backups! ! The only thing would be certain updates every now and then, but that's only a minor set back.

Now that's not a bad idea I`ll put a zip of the site up once I finish the current update I`m doing to make the most of GE's new addition.
