Re: Where is the FAQ for mc text release (triggered by "Warning: Couldn't change")

Hello!

MC uses GNOME resourses on Internet, but it's not a part of the GNOME
project.  Only its GNOME frontend is.  Don't expect to find anything about
MC in the GNOME FAQ.

I just looked at the MC homepage and I was terrified how many errors I
missed when it was redesigned.  All those "graphical GUI" and "GNU Public
license" looked very unprofessional.  Thank you for drawing my attention
to the problem.

The link to FAQ will be added when I upload the fixed homepage.  The
address of FAQ is:

http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/mc/FAQ?raw=1

I cannot say that it's a strange place because the owners of
www.md-network.de are free to copy it.  But please don't trust old
versions of FAQ too much.

Why to _this_ FAQ?  It should be a pointer to the _latest_ FAQ.

It looks like a problem with the sequrity fix incorporated into 4.5.55.  I
see this question asked the first time, so it's not a part of FAQ.

Please specify the version of tcsh use are using.  Version of Slackware
may be useful too.

I never rely on somebody being subscribed to the list and reading the
list.  It's a good idea to send copies to all interested partied and leave
it up to them to delete their copies.  It's easier than to "fakequote" a
message from the list archive, should that person be unsubscribed and
willing to reply.
