- UPDATE NOTES: What's changed in the FAQ:
- -------------
- I thought I would just write this when I enter new stuff into the
- four part FAQ. The newest set of the FAQ (dated 3/23/91) contains:
-
- - stuff about moving aquaria,
- - yet another modification of the protein skimmer description
- (will we ever get this right :-)
- - a brief (very very brief) description of the history behind
- *.aquaria
- - useful data on weight/volume of water
- - brief description of air pumps
- - miscellaneous stuff.
-
- You may notice that I've begun to include names (and addresses) of
- other authors. I did not include this practice when we were just
- booting up because it would have been too confusing, and there were
- quite a lot of contributors.
-
- If you would like to be included in a list of contributors (and be
- famous through posterity), please re-email me. (Unfortunately, to
- conserve disk space and preserve sanity, I purged old inputs).
-
- Thanks to y'all.
