Subject: X-List: Frequently Asked Questions

What is X-List?
===============

X-List is a subscription list for people interested in the XCMDs and XFCNs
created by Iverson Software Co. and Jeffrey D. Iverson. Subscribers are
sent copies of the externals when they are released or updated. They are
encouraged to share them with others.


How do I subscribe?
===================

To subscribe to X-List send a message to <j5rson@halcyon.com> with "X-List"
in the subject or body of the message.


Where are X-List files?
=======================

At the present time there is no archive of X-List files, however, we are
working on securing an anonymous ftp site to store them. To get files
previously released through X-List, just send a request to
<j5rson@halcyon.com> with the names of the files you want.


What files are available?
=========================
