All that requires a full mastery of the english language. I can only
fetch the questions and put them in the FAQ, with no remedy for the
growing fracturation. This is the Second Principle of Thermodinamics!
Any news entry let grows the total language-entropy in the FAQ.
Believe me: if the FAQ was written en italian, was surely better
(en passant, I'm a short-story writer and know a good italian)
Anycase, Marko is now working newly on the FAQ

I absolutely do not distribute tarballs. Please, do not ask. I'm not
interested in that. You can found manpages in tgz format on
sunsite.unc.edu. To read this format in Linux requires an addition
of new commands like: groff, grotty, tbl, gtbl and soon: they
are venerable and still present text formatting tools.
