Colophon

Version 1 Release 1 of this FAQ, was compiled entirely from within GNU Emacs 19.23 (on a lazy Sunday afternoon, sometime in July '94 (via a VT100-terminal dialup yet!)). GNUS was used to access relevant USENET FAQ's in news.answers and the ange-ftp and crypt++ packages made it possible to visit the README's of the various packages mentioned, at ftp sites around the world, after searching for them with archie (from within emacs, of course).

The hyper-FAQ (Release 1.8) was marked-up from the original text-version using Emacs' massively useful macro-facility (and thus the conversion was painlessly automated) and the html-mode package.

The plain-text version of this FAQ is now generated from the hyper-FAQ, with the html-to-ascii perl-script written by James R. Davis.
