Use and copying of this information are permitted as long as (1) no fees or compensation are charged for use, copies or access to this information, and (2) this copyright notice is included intact. _____________________________________________________________________________ Misc.kids FAQ Table Of Contents Part 1. 1.

FAQ index _____________________________________________________________________________ *** Index to FAQ Files *** _____________________________________________________________________________ NOTE: An increasing number of the files listed below are available on the newsgroups misc.kids.info, misc.answers and news.answers". These files are also archived and available for anonymous ftp at rtfm.mit.edu and their archive names are included in their listings. Some/many of the files listed below are available via the Web. To get a listing of what's available try "http://www.netaxs.com/~iris/infoweb/baby.html" In addition, there is FamilyWeb at "http://www.familyweb.com/", which may be more complete than the above. There is also the the newsgroup FAQ archive at "http://wwwcgi.umr.edu/faqs/misc-kids" To access the archived copy via ftp rather than your browser: ftp to rtfm.mit.edu (userid: ftp, password: your-email-address); cd to pub/usenet/news.answers/misc-kids and then "get" the file(s) desired using the name given below. (The current index file is archived with the names "faq/part1" and "faq/part2") The affected files are noted by the line "Archive: X", where "X" is the name of the archived file. _____________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in any of the following topics, please e-mail the contact person directly, who will then send you a copy of the file. Please be specific when requesting files, as some folks maintain more than one FAQ file. If you would like to add something to the files listed, please also do so via e-mail, and indicate that you would like your comments added to the FAQ file. Please read the instructions carefully. If a notation follows the person's e-mail address, e.g. (Subject "send toys"), the subject line should read "send toys", *WITHOUT* the quotation marks, of course. Such files are sent out automatically, and if you don't put the correct subject line in your e-mail, it will not be processed as quickly. Also, please do *not* request FAQ files using an anonymous address -- files will most likely bounce or get truncated because of the automatic stripping of the headers by the anonymous mail server. If you ask for an FAQ file and don't get it within a week, it may have bounced. When you ask again, please be sure to include your e-mail address in the body of your request, in case 'reply' doesn't work. ("Rec." = "Recommendations") Please also keep in mind that some of the files are quite long, which might confuse/bollux some mailers. _____________________________________________________________________________ Copyright 1998, Maureen Vahey.
