Hi
I am writing a small howto for windows users. Well it's actually in lyx,
but big deal... It's meant to be a summary of FAQs on LIH.I
would like to call for suggestions and participations.
I aimed it for windows users only so it's bit simplified, but It would be
a good idea to extend it to include preliminary
Unfortunately I have it at home. By tomorrow, I will post it to the list.
Bye
Shridhar

for a purpose. Violations of the rules of
this list will result in stern action.
