Maybe I should spal chex befer I post. :)

# Ok, I took a shot at summarizing up what was discussed yesterday and
# put it into the format used in the guidelines faq.
#
# If this looks reasonable then it should be a simple cut and paste. If
# not, discussion time...
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# c. URL (OPTIONAL) (RECOMMENDED)
# -------------------------------
#
# Example:
#
# URL: http://some-site.domain/my_faq.html
#
# A "URL:" line contains a World Wide Web "address," if you have
# one for your FAQ. (See Section 2.7B for information about HTML
# versions, including some automatically created ones.)
#
# The URL: header is used to specify a home page for your faq.
# The URL address could be to page on a site you have direct
# access to or it could be to your page on a faq archive such
# as faqs.org. The URL address you list should be a complete
# path to the individual home page for your faq. It should not
# be used to point to a generic home page for a site. For example,
#
# http://www.somesite.domain/~bob/thefaq.html
#
          is a good address to an faq, while
#
# http://www.somesite.domain
#
# would not be unless the site was dedicated to the faq itself.
#
# It may be useful to list more than one address location for your
# faq. Multiple sites provide redundancy. Additionally, you may
# want to specify multiple ways to access your faq, http, ftp, etc.
# Whatever the reason, it is possible to have multiple URL addresses
# specified. There are two different ways to use the URL: header
# to list multiple locations. You can use multiple URL: headers
# each with a single address or a single URL: header with the
# individual addresses separated by commas.
#
# An example of multiple URL headers:
#
# URL: http://www.dclj.de
# URL: http://de.geocities.com/uweplonus/faq
# URL: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/de/comp-lang-java/faq
#
# Note: There is a single address listed in each URL: header.
#
          An example of an individual URL header with comma separated
# addresses:
#
# URL: http://www.dclj.de, http://de.geocities.com/uweplonus/faq, ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/de/comp-lang-java/faq
#
# Note: The comma separated addresses must be specified on a
# single line. Continuation lines are not supported at present.
#
# D. Last-modified, Version, Copyright, Maintainer (all OPTIONAL)
# ----------------------------------------------------------
#
# Last-modified: March 25, 1995
# Version: 2.5
# Copyright: (c) 1995-1996 Joe Programmer
# Maintainer: Joe Programmer <guru@foosys.com> and Cathy Code <code@foosys.com>
#
# You can have other lines in the auxiliary header, if you
# want. Some common ones are "Last-modified:", "Version:", and
# "Copyright:", which should be self-explanatory. The
# required "From:" header in the main headers (see Section
# 1.4A) will usually give the name and email address of the
# maintainer, but if you want to provide more information, or if
# your FAQ is being posted by someone else (see Section 2.8A),
# you may wish to add a "Maintainer:" header.
#
# Our archive scripts and other software "know" about these
# particular auxiliary headers, and may attempt to handle them
# in special ways. Although it's not specifically required, it
# would be best if you stuck to these exact header names for
# information which fits these categories, rather than using
# arbitrary variations on the themes. However, if you have other
# types of information to include, you can create new auxiliary
# headers as you see fit.
#
# You may put any text you want in these and other unrequired
# headers, in any format you like, as long as the name of the
# header doesn't have any whitespace; use hyphens instead (i.e.,
# "Last-modified: " instead of "Last modified: ").
