Thanks, Mathew, that would be great. Btw, all messages are
archived on the list server, month by month, since June 96.
You can retrieve them by sending
get euphoria logyymm
request in the body of a message to the
LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU
E.g. "get euphoria log9608" would get you
the log for August last year.
I think it is a bit too early to try to decide on any
sensible structure for the FAQ file. At least initially,
it could be a simple stream of questions and answers, with
one line summaries at the top of the file. Most answers
would be just references. Up-to-date copies can be kept
at several places, Irv's ftp site would be a good one,
and perhaps Rob can be persuaded to accommodate a copy
on his Official Euphoria Page. Jiri
