== Frequently Asked Questions about Internet Resources for ChemE's ==
===========================================================================
This document attempts to provide information about Internet Resources
available for Chemical Engineers. Posted every first day of the month. (and
irregularly in between, depending on updates)
Disclaimer:
Though every attempt has been made to ensure the veracity of the
following material, no responsibility is assumed for any use, or
for any consequences resulting from any use, of the information

This document is far from complete. Send questions and answers (along
with additions to, subtractions from, and divisions of existing information
-- no multiplications, square roots, or transcendental functions, my
cabinet is full of them) to nilesh@aspentec.com.
Though this is a FAQ, it is presented as a list of available information,
rather than questions and answers style. Also, it assumes that you are
familiar with the common netsurfing tools, like mosaic, netscape, gopher, ftp
etc.
You may redistribute this as long as you don't take statements out
of context. Keep it together along with the revision number.
