CHEST-Papyrus Frequently Asked Questions: Version 11

Note:

This is a compliation of information from the chest-papyrus list held on mailbase. All messages sent to the list are automatically logged in monthly digests which can be retrieved. At present everything from the past year is available as hypermail archives. The present document is an attempt to save information from files more than a year old, and make recent important information more accessible. As such, it is not exhaustive. Further, it may be out of date. Anyone looking for information on Papyrus is strongly advised to search the previous year's log files as well. Probably the simplest way of searching both this file and the previous year's logs is to use the search interface at mailbase.

Comments on the file are welcome and should be sent to the Email address at the foot of this page.

Thanks are due to:
