We *don't have access to* monthly postings and >"abc.xyz.announce', etc. Would it be possible for the maintainer of info-unix to mail a copy of the Frequently Asked Questions to all new subscribers?? A section on submitting articles to that side of the list, as well as signing off, could be of help to those readers. I'm suprised that there isn't an internet site which has these available for anonymous FTP. I don't have a very recent copy of the monthly postings, but I've put what I do have in pub/News on plains.nodak.edu so that all the info-unix readers on the Internet can anonymously FTP them from there. I'll update them when Gene posts them again next month, so you might want check back then if you want a current copy. -- Glen Overby uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby (UUCP) ncoverby@ndsuvax (Bitnet)
