Subject: FAQ in German - some updates

Saluton!

This is news from the FAQ in German.

The location did change:

http://oss.erdfunkstelle.de/ruby/

no nasty adverts any more and has a (IMO) cute little CSS that even
works with Netcape 4. Additional URL to be added soon (some address
at bolug.uni-bonn.de).

Also some more information has been added: A pointer to a German
translation of the Pickaxe Book as well as to the book by Ro:hrl,
Schmiedl and Wyss.

Moreover the FAQ has undergone a transformation - it now is a Ruby
script that is capable of generating HTML and LaTeX output. Together
with a TeX installation and the elinks web browser that means:

- HTML
- ASCII Text
- ISO 8859-1 Text (aka Latin 1 Text)
- LaTeX
- DVI
- PostScript

I presently don't have a local TeX installation that allows for
direct generation of PDF. I therefore don't generate PDF because PDFs
generated via PostScript look awful. If someone wants PDF please let
me know. Suggestions for other formats?

Maybe I'll switch to XML but that does not have top priority.

Qustion: Should I actually post it once a month (the ASCII version
that is) or should I just send the URL and remove that remark from
the FAQ?

Gis,

Josef 'Jupp' Schugt
