Hi !

I've been playing PostgreSQL today, and there are still some places
where you can find Postgres95 mentionned. One place I remember is in
the pg_hba.conf copied from src/backend/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample (I
think - I say this from memory).

I know it's quite unimportant (hence the subject title), but some
newcomers might get startled, since it's one of the first files one
has to deal with when installing the software.

Anyway, it's a very very very (ad libitum...) nice release :) Thank
you all...

Off-topic for ``hackers'' : I saw that the tutorial and some other
places did not present the current laying of psql for the examples. If
nobody does this in the next few days, I'll volonteer on updating
that, and also try to provide corrections in the docs where there are
inaccurate leftovers from the pg95 days... I wondered also if it would
be interesting to collect (most) questions & answers from the
questions mailing lists to do a (more) exhaustive faq ?? I'll try to
do that also (gathering from the archives and updating each day after
that), if it interests someone (Tom ?). The problem is I won't be able
to do all this before April, since I won't have any computer from
March 16th to March 31st. :(( [I'll still try to follow the mailing
lists during lunch time at work ;) ]

Fixed.

Sure.  You can have the FAQ if you wish to maintain it.

Ok, I can take it if noone else objects, but I'll confirm it to you
when I am ready (in two or three weeks...).

I tried this morning to get the questions-digests from the ftp site as
a single tarball using :

   get <<directory-name>>.tar.gz

but the ftp-server complained that it couldn't find ``tar'' nor
``gzip''. Can it be fixed ? Or are the digests included on the CD ??

Anyway, I guess I still can do an mget *  :)

	The digests *and* the complete mhonarc archives are included on
the CD...
