I wasn't going to start versioning it until it was released - I was hoping for some form of blessing before I released it on an unsuspecting world. I also wasn;t sure what we should do about updates--do I just make changes as I see fit, or does the group get to veto things> > Is there any chance of posting a PDF file in addition to the Postscript > file? PDF is generally much more convenient for Win 98/NT users (and maybe > also for many Unix users with Acrobat Reader plug-ins as well too). Depending on the fonts, I _should_ be able to generate a decent looking PDF. Before I do that, though, I want to spend time getting it to look nicer. And time is something that seems to pass by quicker and quicker at the moment. Anyway, I _will_ look at all this sometime next week. I'll probably also move the faq to it's final resting place. > (Besides using NT at home, even at official work, I generally prefer to > access Unix systems through Win NT, and try to print from it when > possible.

OK - if I have no luck here I may use you as the FAQtory for pdf. Thanks Dave
