I would like to add those headers to my part files.
I remember I've asked this before, I did get an answer back then, but it
wasn't very clear to me. I discontinued the thread, because I didn't have
regular e-mail access in those days. Now I feel I have to take it up again.
I've searched in the FAQ for the word "category" but didn't find any
explanation there. Here are a load of questions:
1. What is the exact purpose of the "0 CATEGORY" statement ?
2. Are there any "rules" for what you can mention in this statement ?
3. Is it allowed to name more than one category, and what is the syntax then ?
4. I have a gut feeling that category names (if that what it is) should be
restricted to some kind of "official" list of allowable category names, mainly
to avoid that two people make up different names/spellings when they mean the
same thing, or that complete fantasy names are submitted.
Do you argree that we should avoid a uncontrolled growth of category names ?
5. I remenber that there was also a "0 KEYWORD" statement. What is the purpose
of this one?
6. Any rules for "keyword" ?
7. does "keyword" allows multiples, syntax ?
7. What is the difference between CATEGORY and KEYWORD, a.k. what belongs to
the one and what to the other?
I realize these questions are partly overlapping, But this way I'm sure you
know every point that is not clear to me.
Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
