1. Minor detail...

   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.

   Yep.

   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...
