WARNING: Since QFTR has been almost exponentially expanding the variety of resources it produces from 2007 through the present (2011) some specific QFTR Site User Guide articles that are older than about 1 1/2 years old are often going to be only partially relevant. QFTR would like to but can not guarantee that we can update all of the most important User Guide articles once a year. When a User Guide article is updated the older one is deleted except that a link to the new version may be installed as opposed to complete deletion.
