I also authored some of these in the 1980s (before PDF, CDs, OCR, and scanners in the home). Typed into word processor software (that can save as text files, not binary) or just a text editor.

Mine and many others were distributed on file sharing sites called AE Servers. And yes, BBSs, too.

Some of the more popular files were the ones typed up from The Anarchist’s Cookbook, and peoples’ variations on those (bomb making, lock picking, etc). I never knew that was a real book until many years later.

Files from Anarchist's Cookbook were always a hit with the kids. Imagine all the rebellion and havoc you could cause! I tried some of the recipes and nothing ever really worked. But it was a lot of fun to read.
