: You can also FTP the FAQs from the following sites:
: 	ftp.nimh.nimh.nih.gov*	/pub/win/FAQ
: 	wuarchive.wustl.edu*	/usenet/comp.binaries.ms-windows/faqs
: 	ftp.metrics.com		/faq
	Well, I know I'm going to get flamed for this one, but I want
to know what's going on here! After all, MS-Windows is one of the most
popular environments out there, and there are bound to be a lot of
stupid questions ( with new Internet users coming on line every day ).
*THAT'S* why we ( the Usenet Community ) need to keep a good, up to
date FAQ.  

So my question: 
	What's up with the Windows FAQ, and the Windows programming FAQ!!

	- The 1st FTP site DOSENT EXIST!!!
		The real name is: ftp.nimh.nih.gov
	- But the nimh directory STILL isn't right!
		The real directory is:	/pub/win31/FAQ  ( I think... )
	- The Second FTP site dosen't have an up to date copy!
	- The FAQ also dosen't contain up to date info on:
			- W4WG 3.11
			- Win 4.0 Chicago
			- Win Ciaro
		Which I would suggest are some of the most FAQ's!

	Yet the FAQ *CLAIMS* to be up to date for the past 2 weeks or so.

	Why am I posting this? I would like to get some discussion on
it! Nothing more! I would also like Tom Haapanen, to reply.

				I just want to know! - Keith S. Garner
