I did find the "archive" site, and with no offence to the maintainer, it is just extreemly sad. Two people so far have replyed to my request for help. Daniel Weaver and john tran will be assisting me with the project. I invision a multi part FAQ with each section being done by one or two people. I think the FAQ will be broken up into something like this: Intro/Table Of Contense/Dicslamer General (why the hell do I want a terminal if PC's are so cheep?) Hardware (what dose pin xx do on a DB25? Why dosen't DB25 realy mean anything?) DEC specific (how do you do xx on a VTxx?) WYSE specific (how do you turn off the blasted keyclick?) (whatever) Since he apperently has volumes of manuals, Dan is doing the WYSE section. I'll be doing the intro and general section proably. What I need from you is help... Whould you like to do a section (or 5 x 10^50 sections?) What are the most common anwserably questions you see here and would like to be put to rest once and for all? There is a maling list for the "maintainers" at ctfaw@stepeng.com. It's manual (dont go crazy!) and its just started, talk to Dan for more info. It'll also proably be archived somewhere. -- -- Jeff Warnica aa351@ccn.cs.dal.ca #include Take note, take note, O world, To be direct and honest is not safe It is difficult to trust anyone whose instrument changes shape as he plays it!
