With the recent explosion of usenet throughout the world many hierarchies
outside the traditional "Big 8" (comp, soc, misc, news, rec, humanities,
sci & talk) have been created. These range from regional to special
interest. This FAQ is intended to document some information about these
hierarchies and enable News-Administrators to ensure they are carrying the
correct groups for each one.

Central to this FAQ is a sample "control.ctl" file used by the INN  
news-server to add and delete groups. 

Another important source of information is Lewis Eisen's <leisen@pfx.on.ca> 
"Master List of Newsgroup Hierarchies" which is available from:

    http://www.magmacom.com/~leisen/master_list.html

Please remember that this FAQ is an "in progress" document. Several  
sections need re-writing and updating. Contributions and corrections are 
very welcome.
