As a new newsgroup member, I'd like to know where to get the FAQ(s)? 

Also, I have a network of PCs running WFWG 3.11 and a CDROM in one of them;
I'd like to make that drive available to the other PCs, but sharing it under
the file manager doesn't work (the other PCs when opening that drive don't see 
any files on it). Am I doing something wrong or just missing something?

E-mail response preferred - rcb@3k.com   -- Thanks!
