-VII- Where can I find the FAQ and who do I contact for more information about it?
From: FAQ General information
I am going to attempt to keep a copy of this file up to date on
ftp://harbor.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/tcl/docs/tcl-faq.p0[1-5].gz . There
are mirrors of harbor.ecn.purdue.edu maintained elsewhere - for
instance, it appears that cs.huji.il, ftp.denet.dk, ftp.luth.se,
hplyot.obspm.fr, rs3.hrz.th-darmstadt.de, sunsite.unc.edu,
swdsrv.edvz.univie.ac.at all have some portion of the harbor archives
available. Also, I will be posting it on a regular basis to at least
comp.lang.tcl, news.answers, and comp.answers.
Many FAQs, including this one, are available on the archive
site ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/ . The subdirectory and
name under which a FAQ is archived appears in the Archive-name line at
the top of the article. For example, this part of the comp.lang.tcl
FAQ is archived as
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/tcl-faq/part1.Z .
There is a Northern European archive for the FAQ at
ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/news.answers/comp.lang.tcl/ .
There is also a mail server from which you can obtain a copy of
the FAQ. Send an email message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu or
archive-server@nic.switch.ch) with the word help in the body of the
message to find out how to use it.
Also, this FAQ is available from within gopher (by looking at
any one of the gopher holes presenting news.answers or FAQ lists), from
WAIS servers (such as the comp.lang.tcl.src), from a number of sites
which have available via ftp archives of news.answers and comp.answers
(use archie to locate one of these sites available around the world),
and probably other resources as well.
Other news.answers/FAQ archives (which carry some or all of the FAQs
in the rtfm.mit.edu archive), sorted by country, are:

The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) id for the FAQ is:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/tcl-faq/top.html
The user can use a WorldWideWeb client to access the FAQ from this point.
A WWW URL for the FAQ, where the FAQ is treated simply as one
long scrollable document (suitable for doing a search against, for
instance) is:
http://realsoon.wpi.edu80/faqs/tcl.FAQ
A complete archive of the newsgroup is available from:
ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/archive/usenet/comp/lang/tcl/
A good place to start looking through this archive is:
ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/usenet-archives/comp/lang/tcl/+Index
which contains a list of all the filenames and subject lines of each of the
articles.
Let me know when you find the FAQ in new and unusual locations
so I can update this resource guide!
The Tcl commercial use FAQ is available as
ftp://harbor.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/tcl/docs/tcl-commercial-faq.gz
currently. The author, Gerald W. Lester <gwl@cpu.com>, may in the future
expand the locations where you may find this. It contains information
either about commercial products which incorporate Tcl as a part of them
or which teach about Tcl and Tk in some manner.
If you have corrections, enhancements, modifications,
clarifications, suggestions, ideas, new questions, new answers to
questions which have never been asked, or something else that I have
not covered above, contact me at lvirden@cas.org.
