If he will not respond for some time we have to get either a new FAQ or more simple decide to update his. Of course it is copyrighted blabla but I think one could copy bits and pieces of it without annoying Matthew at all. BTW if it comes to that I'd be glad if a native English speaker volunteers for the "writing" part. It is nice when such a text is not written in that weird "international English". I think it's time for an update. And I would favour the idea of naming someone who maintains it this time. Should be easier than maintaining a link list on a web site. Finally: the mini FAQ is a good idea in any case. Colin, you seem to take over some tasks of the late Colin Douthwaite. :) :) Andreas ______________________________________________ http://www.ascii-art.de
