TALK: What TUOR means/what flf means

TALK: What TUOR means/what flf means

For the benefit of all present, and so I don't keep getting messages 
asking me what 'Tuor' means, I'll tell you all now...

'Tuor alone of mortal men was numbered among the Elder Race.'

Tuor was a character from Middle-Earth, to whom an entire chapter from 
Tolkien's Silmarillion was dedicated.  I haven't yet read it, but from 
what I've been told by a friend, he was a very cool chap.  This isn't 
meant to be an ego-boosting exercise, it was just so I could have an 
original name which was unlikely to be emulated.

Also, since I posted the file roman.flf, there have been several people 
asking me what they were supposed to do with it once they had it.

Questions 10 and 11 in the FAQ (available from Mr Allison alias The 
Scarecrow) cover this topic, telling you all about Figlet and where to 
get it.

To those of you who did email me, don't take this personally, it's just 
meant to be a help to you and others so that my 'Inbox' doesn't get 
cluttered with the same postings.

With The Scarecrow's permission, I'd like to refer any queries you have 
about my or anybody else's postings to him - his email address appears on 
his postings.

Anyway, thanks for all your comments - I don't mind receiving 
constructive criticism, so keep it coming!
