Hi Outsider.

 O> But that's where you are mistaken! 4DOS solutions belong in the
 O> 4DOS group regardless of how superfluous _you_ think the solutions
 O> to be.

 replies generally belong in the same newsgroup as the questions.
 4dos is dos batch (not all of it but bit still is)

 O> 1) Proving how stupid people are for not using 4DOS.
 O> 2) Copying Timo Salmi's FAQ as an aid to accomplish nr. 1

it makes for an easy cmparison to see hoe a number of tricky ptoblems can
be solved with little effort in 4dos.

 O> Personally, I think Klaus should _make his own FAQ_. What questions
 O> do people frequently ask about 4DOS? And what questions do people
 O> frequently ask about 4DOS that are experienced with MSDOS batch?

what is, how much, where ?

other than that, those in the list are fairly representative

 O> Just copying someone else's FAQ is a disservice. It's not even a
 O> _real_ 4DOS FAQ

that's true... I guess it needs a new name.

 O> PS. You lines are too long. Can you set them to ~72 characters?

your lines are longer than 72 characters too.
