World Wide Web FAQ
Copyright 1994, 1995, Thomas Boutell

Introduction

There are several World Wide Web newsgroups, and each of the groups
has its own Frequently Asked Questions posting (except for
comp.infosystems.www.advocacy). 

IMPORTANT: A set of answers to introductory web questions can be found 
in the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.misc. If you do not have web access
yet, please go to that newsgroup and read the Frequently Asked Questions 
posting of that group first. This posting is only a pointer.

THE HYPERTEXT VERSION IS MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE. If you have
web access, you will want to use it.

A complete hypertext version of the FAQ can be found on the
World Wide Web at the following locations.
