Attention!
This FAQ hasn't been updated
for AGES. I don't maintain the UT section of the site any more, since I've
retired from UT long time ago. Consequently you'll find outdated information
and broken links. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Netscape users: Due to an error during file conversion, you will experience broken link errors on this page. In this case, please check the link for backslashes “\” used instead of slashes ”/” and replace them. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope to fix this soon.
