Hello, Robert!

Just a couple points of clarification:

First, I'm not sure who provided the PDF versions of the FAQ - I don't
have a PDF writer (only the reader that you mention). Some kind soul out
there did the transformation for me.

The "phase out" comment was in the context that the information is now 
(mostly) all available in HTML version --- have you seen it? URL is below.
HTML offers advantages due to hypertext links that you don't get with
PostScript or PDF.   What I --don't-- want to do is maintain --two--
copies of all that information!

Joel.
