                           -------------

This file contains citations for all FYIs in numeric order.

FYI citations appear in this format:

####  Title of FYI.  Author 1, Author 2, Author 3.  Issue date.
      (Format: ASCII) (Obsoletes xxx) (Obsoleted by xxx) (Updates xxx)
      (Updated by xxx) (Also RFC ####)

Key to citations:

#### is the FYI number.

Following the number are the title (terminated with a period), the
author, or list of authors (terminated with a period), and the date
(terminated with a period).

The format and byte information follows in parenthesis.  The format,
either ASCII text (TXT) or PostScript (PS) or both, is noted, followed
by an equals sign and the number of bytes for that version.  For
example (Format: TXT=aaaaa, PS=bbbbbb bytes) shows that the ASCII text
version is aaaaa bytes, and the PostScript version of the FYI is
bbbbbb bytes.  The (Also RFC ##) phrase gives the equivalent RFC.


    For example:

                   Where and how to get FYIs
                   =========================


The Internet For Your Information memos are documented in a small
subset of the RFCs.  Once you know the RFC number of the document
describing an FYI you may obtain that document by getting the RFC
(see ways_to_get_rfcs).

For convenience these documents are also grouped and listed by their
FYI numbers.

The FYIs may be obtained via EMAIL or FTP from FYI Repositories.

1.  VENERA.ISI.EDU

FYIs are available via anonymous FTP from VENERA.ISI.EDU, with the
pathname: in-notes/fyi/fyiNN.txt (where "NN" is the number of the FYI.
For example FYI2.TXT is the current Assigned Numbers document.  Login
with FTP username "anonymous" and password "ftp".

FYIs can also be obtained via electronic mail from VENERA.ISI.EDU by
using the RFC-INFO service.  Address the request to "rfc-info@isi.edu"
with a message body of:

         Retrieve: FYI
           Doc-ID: FYInnnn

(Where "nnnn" refers to the number of the FYI (always use 4 digits, so
FYI 2 is FYI0002 in the RFC-INFO service).  The RFC-INFO@ISI.EDU
server provides other ways of selecting FYIs based on date ranges and
such; for more information send a message to "rfc-info@isi.edu" with
the message body "help: help".

Note that FYIs may be very large (greater than 100,000 characters), the
RFC-INFO service will return large documents in sections of less than
50,000 characters each.
