This is an unofficial  Frequently  Asked  Questions (with answers) list
about Elm. Syd Weinstein kindly checked this, but he is not responsible
for the errors  in the answers,  which are my fault,  unless  otherwise
specified.  I do NOT claim to be a member of the Elm Development Group.

	This   FAQ   is   posted  monthly,  the  15th,  on  news.answers,
	comp.answers and comp.mail.elm.

	It is available:
	- from the above USENET groups
	- from all the USENET archives

	* WARNING: *

	The old ftp site:

	- ftp://ghost.dsi.unimi.it/pub/FAQs/Elm
	  (ghost.dsi.unimi.it is 149.132.1.2)

	is now carrying old version of the FAQ, and is no more supported.
	I strongly discourage getting the FAQ or other related stuff from
	that site.

	* END WARNING *

	I  *found*   the ftp site. Many thanks  to Syd, as usual.  I plan
	the ftp site to be operative within a week or so.

	A file containing instructions on how to buid and install Elm un-
	der Next is on the same sites in .../Next.Z.

	A  context  diff file containing the differences between this FAQ
	and the previous release is posted on comp.mail.elm and is avail-
	able from the same sites in the file Elm/diffs.Z.

	This  FAQ is NOT reposted if modified, until the next issue date.
	I will modify the ftp file only.  I suggest using ftp to get  the
	latest version of this document.

	This  FAQ  refers  to latest patchlevel I put my hands on.  Ques-
	tions about a specific patchlevel are kept if of common interest.
	Actually,  all  relevant  questions  concerning PL 21 are kept in
	this file, as many users still run PL 21.

	This FAQ consists of six parts:
	0.*     Organization.
