Hrm?

Well, as I do not maintain the MacPerl FAQ or know its status, I cannot
say.  I imagine if it is sufficiently polished and ready for inclusion, it
will be.  If it isn't, then it won't be, which is a good thing, since
unfinished docs shouldn't be in the distribution.  :)  But I imagine it
will be included.

This is a good suggestion, and I was thinking about putting all the MacPerl
docs online, including the toolbox module docs.  They could be online in
HTML and in a .sit archive.

There is no such separation in the docs.
