- I guess Chris Cole, who maintains it, must be on holiday, so I'll
- take it upon myself to answer the recent questions about the FAQ list.
-
- The rec.puzzles FAQ list is now called the rec.puzzles archive, because
- it includes answers to a lot of puzzles that are not really all that
- frequently asked. Because of this, it's also too big to be regularly
- reposted. It was posted once in its entirety to news.answers and
- rec.puzzles a few months ago, which means that if you have access to
- anonymous FTP, you can get it from a site that archives news.answers.
- One of these is pit-manager.mit.edu (18.172.1.27), where the directory
- to look in is pub/usenet/news.answers/puzzles-faq.
-
- The archive is also available through an email server. Send a message
- containing two lines of text:
-
- return_address YOUR-ADDRESS-GOES-HERE
- send index
-
- to the address archive-request@questrel.com, and it will send you a
- message of about 60K bytes containing an index of all the items, and a
- list of FTP sites. If you omit the return_address line, it will use
- your From: address for the mail.
-
- There has been talk of making a true FAQ list, with only the most
- frequently occurring puzzles on it, but nobody has done this.
