Hello, Eli!

I understand that it's unsignificant, but in following text from
FAQ 2.02 (section 10.1)

-----------------------------------
`et4000'
     Tzeng Labs ET4000 chip-set.

`mach64'
     The ATi Mach-64 SVGA.
-----------------------------------

You better use Tseng Labs insted Tzeng Labs (I am 100% shure in that,
btw - Tseng maded fastest ISA vga card in the world). Also I think that
you should use 'ATI', not 'ATi' word, because it's from ATI Labs, and
not from AT / XT / PS/2 etc.

Also, I think that it's better to update reference to UniVBE 5.1 at
ftp://ftp.coast.net/Coast/msdos/graphics/univbe51.zip to SDD 5.3
(SciTech Display Doctor - includes UniVBE 5.3) - newest version of this
software, because in this one added support for about 60 new video cards +
improved support of old ones (like CL5429, wich had some problems with
UniVBE 5.1, linear framebuffer and computers with > 12Mb RAM, because of
UniVBE always used LFB area at 14-th Mb of RAM). It is available from
SciTech Software (home of SDD, MGL v3.0 graphics library - used by
WarCraft II - and SVGAKIT v6.2) ftp and web sites:
<ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/SDD> and <http://www.scitechsoft.com>

In section 12.1: reference to GDB412B.ZIP changed to GDB416B.ZIP,
'debuggee' word changed to 'debugger'

(or it's not a mistyped 'e' key, but identifier, wich I dont understand ?)
--< from FAQ >---------------------------------------------------------------
> Note that the `argv[0]' parameter under the debugger is *not* the
> full pathname of the debuggee, so programs which use `argv[0]' for
> their operation might behave differently under a debugger.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aha! So 'debuggee' stands for 'debuged program'!.. Ok, I'll will know
that in future.
BTW: Why not to explain all those slang words in document's beginning?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>`Gprof' is part of GNU Binutils distribution, e.g.
>ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bnu252b.zip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please change to current version - bnu27b.zip in sections 13.1, 13.3

Sorry, if it's absolutly not important. At least it shows, that I read
FAQ carifuly :) I'll try my best to not to send such stupid questions
to maillist, like my question about redirection with '>', '>&' and '<'
under command.com. The problem is, that then you send such a question,
you don't think that it's stupid, but it's interesting and important!

Thank you for FAQ maintaining - really worthy document. If you want me
to send you message in case I'll find some places, wich looks strange to
me, please let me know.

                                        Sincerly your's, snoopy AsH

P.S. I know that current version of FAQ is 2.10, but unfortunatly I can't
download it, because in University transfer speed degraded to 15-20 bytes
per second in light part of day. Also thanks for your anti-crap activity
(ie shooting down chain-letter authors and so on).
