First, the FAQ is converted to HTML from the Texinfo sources, the same
ones from which the Info format is generated.

And second, the tools to do the Texinfo->HTML conversion are a kludge
that probably won't work well for anything but the FAQ.  The Texi2HTML
converter isn't good enough for me because it doesn't support Texinfo
macros (and you need macros when you have to tell about 1000 times the
URL of the SimTel archives and other references and want them to look
pretty in all supported formats).  So I used macros to generate HTML
as well and augmented them by a bunch of Sed scripts and simple
programs where the Texinfo macros goofed.

Somewhere on my todo list is getting Makeinfo support generating
HTML...
