Because the FAQ is a set of web pages it is full of html tags and is
nearly unreadable as plain text. If you do not have WWW access but
do have a web browser (e.g. Netscape, Mosaic) and ask very politely
I could archive the files, compress them, uuencode them, and email
them to you. (Please do not ask me to do this.)

Please send me your comments and suggestions. Thanks,
