News on the TSFAQN collection by Timo Salmi in reverse order
============================================================
University of Vaasa, Finland, Linux Pentium garbo.uwasa.fi has a
large collection of Shareware, Freeware and Public Domain PC
programs available by anonymous FTP, WWW (World Wide Web) and mail
server. The file ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/0news-ts contains news
about the TS-programs in the /pc/ts directory (in reverse order).
This text, which you now have, is an extract from the 0news-ts file
and the Usenet news.

Fri 21-Jun-96: I have made an update
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqn45.zip
Questions from Usenet and Timo's answers
Now new items have been added but some of the material has been
brought up to date with recent developments especially on the WWW
scene.
Fri 9-Feb-96: I have updated my collection of Frequently Asked
Usenet questions and brought many of the items up to date with
the developments. This FAQ collection is available as
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqn44.zip.
I added to "FAQNEWS2.TXT Q&As relating to Usenet news 2/2" new
items
30) How should I react to chain letters?
31) Where do I find a complete list of Usenet newsgroups?
32) Someone broke the netiquette. Should I email advice?
Added to FAQPROGS.TXT Questions answers about programs" new items
25) Where can I find a program to break a PKZIP encryption password?
26) Where can I find other good programs that are not on this list?
To the part "FAQFTP.TXT Additional questions about FTP" I added a
new item
4) How do I download a zipped file using WWW and Netscape?
Sun 21-May-95: I have updated my collection of Frequently Asked
Usenet questions. It is now
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqn43.zip
Besides bringing it up to date, and making some corrections, I added
the following new items:
26) Can I say hello and find friends on news.newusers.questions?
27) How long will my posting stay on the Usenet news?
28) Where did my Usenet posting disappear?
29) Why are Usenet news postings out of sequence?
Wed 15-Mar-95: It is some time since I have last updated my general
collection of Frequently Asked Usenet questions. This is partly due
to the fact that much of my new FAQ material has gone to specialized
FAQs like
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqp23.zip
Common Turbo Pascal Questions and Timo's answers
:
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/camfaq.zip
comp.archives.msdos.(d/announce) Frequently Asked Questions
:
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/tspost22.zip
Information email + postings, from 18-Oct-94 to ...
:
However, I have now brought the material up to date, since there
have been so many changes in the referred details like program
version numbers. I have also added the following new items
24) What are the distribution area codes for Usenet news postings?
25) Should I thank for posted advice?
My updated, general Usenet FAQ collection is available as
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqn42.zip
Questions from UseNet and Timo's answers
For a complete index of my various FAQ collections see
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pd2/tspost00.zip
Index for Timo's FAQs and Information email + postings
Sun 26-Jun-94: I have updated the new users' collection of
Frequently Asked Usenet news questions. It is now garbo.uwasa.fi:
/pc/ts/tsfaqn41.zip. There is one new item:
23) I am having problem with canceling my posting. What to do?
Furthermore some of the material has been brought up to date and
augmented with additional information.
Sat 12-Mar-94: I have updated my collection of Frequently Asked
Questions for the new UseNet users in particular. It is available
from Garbo MS-DOS archives as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaqn40.zip. An
index of my FAQ answers is available as /pc/pd2/tspost00.zip.
Sun 26-Dec-93: I have released a maintenance update of my general
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about UseNet news, MS-DOS programs,
and Garbo archives. It is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaqn39.zip.
Sat 16-Oct-93: I have brought up to date the information in my
general Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about UseNet news, MS-DOS
programs, and Garbo archives. I have also added a new file
FAQFTP.TXT "Additional questions about FTP"
"Additional" because the other files in the collection already cover
FTP (File Transfer Program) questions. The updated collection is
available as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaqn38.zip.
Wed 18-Aug-93: I have made a routine update of my Frequently Asked
Questions about UseNet news, MS-DOS programs, and Garbo archives.
You can obtain it as /pc/ts/tsfaqn37.zip from Garbo by anonymous
FTP, mail server, or from Vaasa FreePort BBS (+358)-61-3248490,
3170972, and 3170974; 9600,N,8,1; login "bbs". (Vaasa FreePort BBS
has in 1995 been replaced by Walli BBS for domestic users only.)
Sat 10-Jul-93: I have updated my Frequently Asked Questions about
UseNet news, MS-DOS programs, and Garbo archives. It is now
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaqn36.zip. This version is to bring the
items up to date.
Sun 6-Jun-93: I have updated my Frequently Asked Questions about
UseNet news, MS-DOS programs, and Garbo archives. It is now
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaqn35.zip. This update brings up to date
the Garbo archives parts because of the new arrangements at Garbo. I
have also edited some of the other parts to bring them up to date.
Sun 16-May-93: My tsfaq33.zip Frequently Asked Questions has grown
to be quite large. Therefore I have decided to divide it into two by
separating the Turbo Pascal questions from the ordinary UseNet news
and program related questions. The two entities are both available
from the garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/ directory:
tsfaqn34.zip Questions from UseNet and Timo's answers
tsfaqp10.zip Common Turbo Pascal Questions and Timo's answers
Mon 22-Mar-93: I have had to update my collection of Frequently
Asked Questions. It now is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaq33.zip. The
main reason for this update is that the headers of the items were
not compatible from the latest elm version if you use that for
reading the the FAQ. I have also brought some file references in the
FAQs up to date.
Sun 24-Jan-93: I have updated my collection of Frequently Asked
questions. It now is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaq32.zip.
The TSFAQ collection earlier contained FAQUOTE.TXT which is no
longer included because part of the information is out of date.
FAQUOTE.TXT contained edited postings and email of interest
reproduced with the kind permission of the authors (when the
_principal_ author is someone else but I). The file will continue,
however, to be available as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/pd2/faquote.zip.
Other than that I have mainly brought some items up to date with
the recent developments, and added one item to the Turbo Pascal
questions section.
Sat 19-Dec-92: I have updated my collection of Frequently Asked
questions. It is now garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaq31.zip.
Added CAM.INF "CAM discussion groups charter"
Brought up to date many of the items throughout the FAQ.
The principal sections of the collection are
FAQNEWS.TXT Q&As relating to UseNet news
FAQPAS.TXT Turbo Pascal questions & answers
FAQPROGS.TXT Questions answers about programs
PD2ANS.TXT Q&As on uwasa.fi archives & more
UPLOAD.INF How to upload to garbo archives
VAASA.INF Info: Finland, Vaasa, U of Vaasa
Sun 20-Sep-92: Updated my answers to Frequently Asked Questions. It
is now garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaq30.zip. This is a working update
to bring the FAQ collection up to date.
Sat 13-Jun-92: An update garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfaq29.zip of the
collection of my Frequently Asked Questions for UseNet news
