A seem to recall that there is a pointer in faquote.txt in /pc/ts/tsfaq19.arc to how and where some FAQ news are archived. Please bear with my method, but I'll have to ask the gentle interested users to look in there, since I am too inundated to take the time. And if someone else has information on this, please don't prevent this uncertain pointer from posting yours. As to the implicit idea of a starter's kit, any volunteers, of thoughts, please. I can't take it up myself at the moment because of the moderating load. ...................................................................
