Read the misc FAQ for information about the FAQs themselves.  Each FAQ
is posted to comp.sys.sgi.misc and to the news.answers and comp.answers
newsgroups (whose purpose is to store FAQs) twice per month.  If you
can't find one of the FAQs with your news program, you can get it by
anonymous FTP from one of these sites:

    ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/faq/
    ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/sgi/faq/
    ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers/sgi/faq/

Note that rtfm.mit.edu is home to many other FAQs and informational
documents, and is a good place to look if you can't find an answer here.
If you can't use FTP, send mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the
word 'help' on a line by itself in the text, and it will send you a
document describing how to get files from rtfm.mit.edu by mail. Send the
command 'send usenet/news.answers/sgi/faq/misc' to get the SGI misc FAQ,
and similarly for the other FAQs. Send the command 'send
usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email' to get the
"Accessing the Internet by E-Mail FAQ". Finally, the FAQs are on the
World Wide Web at

    http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/sgi/top.html

The SGI FAQs are freely distributable and we encourage wide circulation.
You MUST keep the FAQs intact, including headers and this notice.  The
contents are accurate as far as we know, but the usual disclaimers
apply. (In particular, copies of the SGI FAQs published on paper or
CD-ROM are certain to be out of date!) Please send additions and changes
to sgi-faq@viz.tamu.edu.
