	Hey guys, what abiout making an FAQ for this group. I think
this could be available on the GCG site or from an academic site and
could also be regularly posted on the group.

	I see 3 questions that appears frequently:

How to use the X interface of GCG on my computer
	Mac : eXodus, MacX, MI/X, mklinux
	Intel compatible : eXceed, eXodus, Linux
	OS/2: Xfree86
How to view and print GCG figures (even if it's detailed on the doc ;-).
	Hem... David's page?
Where can I find access to GCG?
	With lists of sites that allow (even with geoghraphic restrictions)
	access to GCG via personnal agreement (single licence).

And, a gift, the biggest one :

What about EGCG9?
	Well... Peter? PEEETEEEER? Are you alive?

							François.

P.S.: It's perhaps not a good idea, but...just tell me why... I think
this would be easy to write using the newsgroup archive.
