The Winter 1993 release of NeXTanswers is now available on the
Internet archive servers.  NeXTanswers is a collection of answers to
commonly asked technical questions about the NeXT Computer System.
The topics covered include system administration, programming, and
NeXT applications and should be indexed for use with Digital
Librarian.

NeXTanswers can be obtained three ways: by ftp from an archive  
server, by email from Purdue, or as a subscription on floppy disk  
from NeXT (call 1-800-484-NeXT for information).  You'll want the  
latest release (in this case referred to by the 93_winter prefix).

You can obtain NeXTanswers via anonymous ftp from one of the  
following Internet archive servers (it may be found on others as  
well):
       ________________________________________________________
       hostname       IP address      directory
       ________________________________________________________
       sonata.cc.purdue.edu  128.210.15.30     pub/next/docs/NeXT
       cs.orst.edu     128.193.32.1    pub/next/documents/NeXTanswers

Note that at the time of this posting, NeXTanswers may still be in  
each archive server's submissions directory.

The NeXTanswers release is also available by email from the Purdue  
archive server, for those without ftp access.  Send a message  
consisting of "help" to archive-server@cc.purdue.edu.  If the "From:"

line in your message header will not be in Internet format (e.g.  
name@site.edu), include a line like 


       path name@site.edu
or
       path wellknownsite!yoursite!yourname@uunet.uu.net
       

Note that name@site.bitnet or name@site.UUCP won't work.

There are two versions of NeXTanswers: a complete set, and a monthly  
supplement for those who already have the previous month's complete  
set.  The complete set is called 93_winter_NeXTanswers.tar.Z and  
occupies 664 Kb of disk space.  The supplement is called  
93_winter_NeXTanswers_Supplement.tar.Z, occupies 82 Kb, and contains  
files that are new or changed since the Fall 1992 release.  When the  
Winter 1993 release is installed and indexed, it occupies about 2.41  
Mb.

Each release also includes instructions on how to install and use  
NeXTanswers.  The documentation (INSTALL.rtf, README.rtf, and  
CHANGES) is included in a separate file called  
93_winter_NeXTanswers_docs.tar.Z.

The following files in the Winter 1992 release of NextAnswers are
