01 Summary (comp.software.config-mgmt)
History
The first posting of this FAQ was in April, 1994. Since the newsgroup
was relatively new at that time, the early FAQ was 'jump started' with
information obtained from the following sources:
* the Usenet newsgroup comp.software-eng
* the InterWorks (HP Workstation Users Group) CASE SIG mailing list
* various printed matter
Since then, it has been updated and changed substantially as readers
have supplied additional information to the comp.software.config-mgmt
newsgroup and directly to the editor.
Contributions
In addition to some of the vendors themselves, most information
summarized here comes from newsgroup posts and email received from end
users. Our gratitude is been extended to all who have contributed.
Instructions for adding or changing information in this FAQ may be
found in section 1.8 of part 1, the general FAQ for the
comp.software.config-mgmt newsgroup.
