Hi John

> The web site is the correct place for long standing instructions and
explanations, not the list archives.

Agreed, but topic has only been raised on the list twice, to the best of my
knowledge, and what appears of the web site is a page of Frequently Ask
Questions that been asked on these pages.

in the archives as well!!!)
If you read the web site you will find the answer to this question, and also
how to access the archives.

Try starting from the home page http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ and following
the Information link to find out what information is available about
FreeBMD, including under General Information the link to 'About us'
