- Version: 3.02
-
- Every four weeks (depending on the phase of the moon) a number of
- postings are made to comp.sys.next.announce which are a compilation
- of answers to frequently asked questions in the comp.sys.next.*
- Usenet newsgroups.
-
- The FAQ list is broken into sections and posted separately. These
- sections focus on various aspects of NEXTSTEP and NeXT machines. Items
- that appear within sections are not in any particular order, and get
- added and removed over time. Posting the sections separately allows
- people to find the sections interesting to them quickly.
-
- Within each section each question will be preceded by a "Subject:"
- field, allowing news readers to break up the file into separate
- questions. Each question has its own unique number.
-
- The FAQ is kept on-line at several ftp sites, including:
-
- cs.orst.edu
- sonata.cc.purdue.edu
-
- Many FAQs, including this one, are available via FTP on the archive site
- rtfm.mit.edu in the directory pub/usenet/news.answers. The name under
- which this FAQ is archived appears in the Archive-nameline above.
-
- Questions marked with a "+" are new to this issue, and questions with
- changes since the last issue are marked by a "!".
-
- Submissions, corrections, comments, input, etc., should be directed
- to Nathan Janette <nathan@laplace.csb.yale.edu>.

- This compilation is meant primarily as a service to the comp.sys.next
- community. Newsletter editors wishing to excerpt from this work for
- publication should consider using local electronic bulletin boards
- to disseminate this information rather than preparing hardcopies.
