v3.9 of the uk tex faq

i have just installed a new version on ctan at help/uk-tex-faq, and on the web at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq this latest version has a few minor changes (mostly editorial in nature), and i'm only releasing it because of the changes in the structure of the macros/latex/contrib tree on ctan: the subdirectories supported/ and other/ are to disappear before i expect to have a chance to work on the faq again.

uploads at cambridge switched off for a month
by Robin Fairbairns 17 Aug '03

17 Aug '03

i have suppressed uploads (both via ftp and via http) at cambridge, until i come out of hospital some time around the middle of september 2003. i apologise for the inconvenience, but i am comforted by the fact that so few users upload at cambridge that the inconvenience is at least strictly limited.
