I guess the most frequently asked question is 'Does this group have a FAQ list?' I will try to maintain such a list, since it seems that it never really happended before. Quite a number of postings say 'this is for the FAQ' or even 'this is _in_ the FAQ' (RTFFAQ), so I guess a lot of you will have some valuable input to this. Since I do not myself know about all the frequent issues that pop up, I need your help to make a FAQ list as complete as possible. Below is a list of (1) frequent questions that I need your input to, (2) frequent questions that I can probably reply myself, and (3) a missing list of things that I missed as being freqently asked :-) 1. - Things I don't know very much about - your input is needed. - Where do I get 3rd party hardware? - What is needed to make GNU emacs compile? - How about GNU C? - Problems with X-windows, including X11R4 issues. 2. - This I do know something about - your input is welcome. - Tricks around the C-compiler, alloca, ANSI-ness, BSD-issues. - Why do I get 'linker killed by signal 9' - Operating system issues. - Who has a termcap to the HFT terminal? 3. - Things I did not know was a FAQ - your input is needed. A few notes: - I hate non-domain addresses. If I try to mail to joesmachine!joe and it bounces, I don't care, don't try any uucp path, and don't post 'where is joe'. At least, I expect reliable From: or Reply-To: addresses. - I won't mail the FAQ list - if you want it, get access to news. - If you want to contribute anonymously, let me know. But I need to know who you are. - All input must be E-mailed to me at bengsig@oracle.com or bengsig@dk.oracle.com - both will end in my mailbox. If you insists on using an old-fashined uucp address you can use oracle!bengsig. -- Bjorn Engsig, ORACLE Corporation, E-mail: bengsig@oracle.com, bengsig@oracle.nl
