- newsgroups (whose purpose is to store FAQs) twice per month. If you
- can't find one of the FAQs with your news program, you can get it from
-
- ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/faq/
- ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/sgi/faq/
-
- (rtfm.mit.edu is home to many other FAQs and informational documents,
- and is a good place to look if you can't find an answer here.) The FAQs
- are on the World Wide Web at
-
- http://www-viz.tamu.edu/~sgi-faq/
-
- If you can't use FTP or WWW, send mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with
- the word 'help' on a line by itself in the text, and it will send you a
- document describing how to get files from rtfm.mit.edu by mail. Send the
- command 'send usenet/news.answers/sgi/faq/misc' to get the SGI misc FAQ,
- and similarly for the other FAQs. Send the command 'send
- usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email' to get the
- "Accessing the Internet by E-Mail FAQ".
-
- You may distribute the SGI FAQs freely and we encourage you to do so.
- However, you must keep them intact, including headers and this notice,
- and you must not charge for or profit from them. Contact us for other
- arrangements. We can't be responsible for copies of the SGI FAQs at
- sites which we do not control, and copies published on paper or CD-ROM
- are certain to be out of date. The contents are accurate as far as we
- know, but the usual disclaimers apply. Send additions and changes to
- sgi-faq@viz.tamu.edu.

- If you're reading this on Usenet, the latest edition of the SGI FAQs
- has just been reposted to comp.sys.sgi.misc, comp.answers and
- news.answers. (Because the comp.sys.sgi.* groups are gatewayed to
- mailing lists which don't deal with crossposts, we only post the SGI
- FAQs to one of them.) If you're reading this somewhere else, the
- other FAQs should be nearby. If they aren't, the introduction
- describes several places where you can find them.
