bobby@hot.caltech.edu (Bobby Bodenheimer) (03/27/90)

Would someone please send me, or tell me how I can get, the
list of frequently asked questions?

Thanks much,

I post them to this newsgroup (and comp.unix.wizards) around the first
of each month.  You can also ftp the latest versions from
iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (129.79.254.192) - they're Unix-Questions.part1
and Unix-Questions.part2 .

I receive the newsgroup, in digest form, from SEM.BRL.MIL, and have yet
to see the frequently asked questions posting (I suppose it gets editted
out??).  Should I be seeing it?

Thanks for posting the alternate source.

Various people have made this same complaint from time to time.
I have checked with the maintainers of the info-unix digest gateway,
and nobody is editing out the FAQ posting from the digest.  It is merely
a mail reflector that sends out every posting that comes in.

It could be that the size of the FAQ posting makes that particular issue of the
digest too large for your mailer to handle.  The current posting is
over 40K in size.   (I am trying my best to keep it from growing much larger.)

Ask "How do I get rid of files with funny characters in the names"
and your mailbox will fill up over night ;-)
