I am pleased to make two announcements about the Ferret FAQ. * Version 1.2 of the Ferret FAQ is done! There are no enormous changes, but several sections have been added, and the whole thing has been reformatted. If you have a copy of an older version, please get the new file, especially if you're distributing copies to stores, BBS users, veterinarians' offices, local ferret groups, etc. Even if you don't keep a copy lying around, please get the new one and let me know what you think of it! * The FAQ is now available from the CUNY listserver, the same place as the FML FAQ and back issues of the FML itself are kept. This seems a good time (since I just wrote it :-) to include this, from the new FAQ: ----------------------------- Subject: <0.2> Where to get this file This FAQ is posted monthly to the rec.pets and news.answers newsgroups. It is available by anonymous FTP: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news/answers/pet-ferret-faq/general (that is, ftp to rtfm.mit.edu and get the indicated file). If you do not have access to FTP, you can request the file by mail by sending a message to [log in to unmask] with the single line (in the body of the message): GET FERRET ANSWERS [I've placed it in the FML header.] You can also "subscribe" to the FAQ, so that you receive a new copy each time it is updated. Send a message to [log in to unmask] with the line: AFD ADD FERRET ANSWERS If all else fails, send me ([log in to unmask]) email and I'll send you a copy. ------------------------------ A couple of logistical notes: The new version of the FAQ might not be available by FTP or at CUNY for a day or two, since I just sent it out today. Also, sometime soon I'll be splitting the FAQ into two or three pieces, and adding in the more detailed medical information I collected a month or two ago. Watch for the announcement! - Pam in Rochester, NY friend to Pixxel and Rusty the torpedoferrets [Posted in FML issue 0816]
