I have compiled some FAQ's from AMMRL email traffic since July 1995. This
is not fancy, but merely collecting the items that seem to go together with
little editing. If you find any problems, please let me know. If you know
of topics that have been discussed in ammrl and should be added to this
list, please contact Vera Mainz at mainzv@aries.scs.uiuc.edu

The topics are listed below in alphabetical order of their filenames in the
anonymous ftp directory on aries.scs.uiuc.edu; login as anonymous; the
directory tree is:

~ftp/nmrtraffic/ammrl/FAQS/filename

I have started converting to web-ready, again with very little editing.
