Frequently asked questions in these groups deserve a monthly posting

I am posting this piece of apparently misdirected mail; the audience
is clearly meant to be more than just myself, yet no one else
(including info-unix) was included in the To: or Cc:.  I would have
given this back to the author to let him post it, yet I have a better
chance of sleeping with a Playmate tonight than I do of getting mail
down that bang-path.  I waited to see whether he would post it but he
hasn't after a day and half.  Please direct any comments to Mr Hovell.

This will undoubtedly cause great gnashing of teeth and much breast-beating
by those eager to defend the 'non-commercial' aspect of the net. The truly
pure-of-heart would be advised to hit 'n' at this point, since this posting
is rated 'R'. But here goes anyhow:

This document (Frequently Asked Questions About UNIX), if I don't miss my 
guess, could eventually become a *really* handy guide - and may grow to a
compendium of considerable size. Is there a possibility that it could be
set up with, say, Nutshell, to have permission to publish it from time to
time - at a profit for editing, indexing, and distribution (*not* creation),
of the copy? If it were started off with that intent, and a willing publisher
were to step forward, I'd sure rather have a handy desk-reference than a bunch
of printed out 8 1/2 x 11 computer sheets.

All flames will be donated to my favorite charity.
