Section - [24] Where are FAQ lists archived?
Many FAQs are crossposted to news.answers. Well-run netnews sites will have the latest versions available
in that newsgroup. However, there are a *lot* of postings in news.answers, and they can be hard to sort through.
The latest versions of news.answers postings are archived at rtfm.mit.edu. You can retrieve this FAQ by FTP as
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/faqs/jpeg-faq/part1 and rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/faqs/jpeg-faq/part2. If you have no FTP access,
send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu containing the lines
send faqs/jpeg-faq/part1
send faqs/jpeg-faq/part2
(If you don't get a reply, the server may be misreading your return address; add a line such as "path myname@
mysite" to specify your correct e-mail address to reply to.) For more info about the FAQ archive, retrieve the file
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/faqs/news-answers/introduction.
The same FAQs are also available from several places on the World Wide Web, of which my favorite is
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/. This FAQ is http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/. Other popular WWW FAQ archives
include http://www.cs.ruu.nl/cgi-bin/faqwais and http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/internet/news/.
