This is a regularly scheduled weekly posting, which explains how you can
obtain a copy of the Microsoft Windows FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
list.  The Windows FAQ is an extensive compilation of Windows facts, tips,
techniques, bugs, applications, and other useful information.  The FAQ is
about 5500 lines long (in ASCII format) or 155K (as a ZIP archive of a 
Windows Help file).

All updates to the Windows FAQ and Windows Programmer FAQs are posted to the 
following two newsgroups:
	comp.binaries.ms-windows	WinHelp format
	comp.os.ms-windows.announce	ASCII text format
The updates are usually 30-60 days apart, depending on the amount of new
information and the maintainer's workload.

You can also FTP the FAQs from the following sites:
	ftp.pitt.edu 		/users/i/n/infidel/win/FAQ
	wuarchive.wustl.edu	/usenet/comp.binaries.ms-windows/faqs
	ftp.metrics.com 	/faq
The FAQs will have filenames in the format of FAQWINxx.ZIP (Windows) and
FAQPRGxx.zip (Windows Programmer), where xx is the version number.  Please
do not abuse these sites; limit your FTP activity to time outside business
hours (8 PM EST through 9 AM EST, or 0100 GMT through 1400 GMT).

If the news postings have expired on your site, and you have no FTP access,
you can obtain it using the decwrl ftp mail server.  For instructions, send
a mail message to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com with a body containing simply:
       help
You will receive a full set of instructions by return mail.
