New version of UK FAQ
by Robin Fairbairns 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

i've installed a new version of the uk faq on ctan and on http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq the new version features: detailed revision of several answers rearrangement of answers to make a more logical structure a small number of new answers (including reading (la)tex files, to answer the question so many people who've been lumbered with something ask...) various changes to the web conversion system to make its management more robust the change that prompted me to take the plunge (i've been working on the new version for some time) was correcting the links to acquire miktex. i would welcome comments on what i've written (i install miktex myself, from time to time, but i know there are greater miktex experts out there...). note that the question numbers have changed (due to the rearrangement). yet again, you see the advantage of the logical addresses at the bottom of the web text of each answer in preference to the answer number. the answer mentioned above, for example, has logical address http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=readtex robin fairbairns
