Welcome, nice to have you here!
>Could someone please give me advice on how to obtain Barry
>Meyers-Rice's F.A.Q. and Jan Schlauer's World List of CP.
The most convenient approach to both is via world wide web. The cp homepage
is located at:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/bot/cp_home
>From there you will find what you need.
If you do not have full internet access, you may use the archives on the
listserver you mailed your intro message to (remember the welcome message
of this list?). From these archives, some files may be retrieved via ftp
(including a version of -I think- Barry's FAQ and of my synonym list).
Happy networking!
Kind regards
Jan
