There is a filelist called NETFAQS at BLEKUL11 aka CC1.KULEUVEN.AC.BE that stores current Usenet (Netnews) FAQs. Within that, there is a file stored called AVAIL FAQS that is an abstraction of the filelist. Note both that file and the fn/fts that it points to gets updated nightly, so you can't really AFD to fn/ft (other than AVAIL FAQS) since the fts change. Here is a truncated listing of AVAIL FAQS List of available FAQS This file is during a short period of time (our night = USA evening) NOT in synchronization with the real files. fn ft subject (or Archive-Name if available) -- --- -------------------------------------- FAQ 1 bit.listserv.mbu-l : mbu faq draft (325 lines long) FAQ 10 ai-faq/part2 FAQ 100 comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc : faqlet posting 5/15/93 FAQ 101 software-eng/part3 FAQ 102 software-eng/part1 FAQ 103 software-eng/part2 FAQ 104 sources-test-faq FAQ 105 proj-plan-faq FAQ 106 z-faq FAQ 107 comp-speech-faq /Pete
