[last updated 1 July 1994]
[Send comments to: David A. Coker, coker@cherrypit.princeton.edu]
This article contains frequently asked questions and
their answers concerning the FWEB system of Literate Programming
from the LitProg mailing list, until July 1994.
I have recently taken over this FAQ from Marcus Speh. As I have
am new to maintaining a FAQ, any suggestions would be helpful
in this regard. I would especially like to thank Marcus Speh
for providing me with the texinfo source and makefiles
for this FAQ.
Most of the answers are taken from the postings,
with little moderation from my side.
The original postings are archived at
niord.shsu.edu in directory [FILESERV.LITPROG].

Comments, corrections and suggestions from several people were
used to improve single questions and answers (see Acknowledgements).
Most notably, John Krommes, FWEB's designer, provided a wealth of
useful comments. I have dubbed him JAK in some places.*
