2. News flash

Contents of this section

IMPORTANT:

The ftape discussion forum has moved per May 11th, 1995 from the niksula.hut.fi server to the linux-tape list on vger.rutgers.edu. By august 11th, the niksula lists were officially killed, since everyone had gone over to the vger lists anyway. Another good reason were that they (the niksula lists) had not been maintained for some time, and they were horribly inflexible in their handling of requests. May the niksula mailing software Rest In Peace and never be revived to haunt to Internet ever again.

This isn't exactly news, but anyway: The ascii and HTML versions have some of the section headers permuted. This is a feature of the SGML system that the LDP project uses. I can't help it. It even seems that the HTML version like to repeat some of my section headers once in a while - luckily, the contents should be the same.
