I would suggest that for Delphi then it is really not appropriate. I will ask the question in a few relevant newsgroups if I cannot find a current FAQ about posting the Mini-FAQ. I do though have to be concerned about reaching BI=20 and have them cancelled. Possibly relevant is that the clpb Meta-FAQ [about posting guidelines] has had a number of positive emailed comments since it has been posted to clpb. I will post to a number of relevant groups that do not have one to see if the group is interested in having a copy with someone in that group doing the posting with relevant mailto: and newsgroup name information changed to reflect appropriately. [1] Sorry, dealing with 20 x 64Mb files for web use is rather tying up my time to consider an update of the mFAQs for tomorrow. -- Pedt - Maintainer of comp.lang.pascal.borland Mini-FAQ and Meta-FAQ Copies, for those interested, can be found at, amongst others: http://homepages.force9.net/pascal/faq/clpb-faq.txt http://homepages.force9.net/pascal/faq/meta-faq.txt
