Well, it's always been my feeling that /usr/src/share/FAQ/Text should go away utterly and the handbook and related SGML documents should all be optionally formatted into ASCII versions in /usr/share/doc someplace. Then if you want to pull the "formatted copyright" out of that you can easily do so without necessarily incurring the overhead of keeping an ASCII version around all the time. > Its silly to maintain multiple versions of files like this. No question. Jordan
