Presumably, a well-written HTML document contains well-written
URLs, and therefore can reference itself accurately (i.e. instead of
specifying a hostname for pages below the home, one specifies "./"
instead of "//machine/path").

I've been keeping the alt.sex (+.wizards, +.first-time) FAQs in
Word For Windows format and reposting them using a pair of W4W VB
programs, called (to wit) "ToUsenet" and "ToHTML". If anyone would like,
I can mail these to faq-maintainers or individuals.

To see the results of the HTML'd alt.sex FAQ, refer to the home
page below. It is *not* complete, and therefore hasn't been sent to
RTFM. When the last three sections are available, it will become the
standard FAQ.
