Because the FAQ is a set of web pages it 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 let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

Thanks!
