[Robin Fairbairns]

i have just released version 3.12 of the faq; this is only a little
more than a month later than i had originally intended.

as usual the (limping) dynamic faq is available from
http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq, while sources, .pdf and other formats, and a
static html version of the faq are available from ctan help/uk-tex-faq

the change file for this version is appended

CHANGES-3.12

Changes in version 3.12

Acquiring the software
  Replace three "finding things" answers with a single "Finding
  (La)TeX files", which covers the ground of the old questions, but
  with a more nearly up-to-date emphasis.  This area needs more
  attention; "hints on regular expressions" from the old set is no
  more -- which probably doesn't matter (much) since almost no-one
  uses "quote site index" any longer.

Systems, etc.
  Expunge mention of the (defunct) 4allTeX CD-ROM under "editors and
  shells" (it had long since gone from CD-ROM answer).
  Mention the MikTeX CD from the CD-ROM answer.
  Tidied the answer about systems for macintoshes

Mathematics:
  Clarification of answer label mathsize (following c.t.t. thread)

Document structure (and similar places):
  Corrected stupid error in the example in Q-alreadydef

Installing (La)TeX files:
  Whole section moved up to before "Fonts" in the FAQ (rationalisation)

Macros:

New or revised packages (or just ones never before mentioned):
