FAQ.yo, line 80:

COMMENT(-- the following are for Usenet and must appear first)\
description(\
mydit(Archive-Name:) unix-faq/shell/zsh
mydit(Last-Modified:) 2020/08/08
mydit(Submitted-By:) email(coordinator@xxxxxxx (Peter Stephenson))

)

And FAQ refers to Usenet/USENET a few times. For example:

3rd paragraph of the section 1.1:
  Another useful source of information is the collection of FAQ articles
  posted frequently to the Usenet news groups comp.unix.questions,  
  comp.unix.shells and comp.answers with answers to general questions
  about UNIX.  The fifth of the seven articles deals with shells,      
  including zsh, with a brief description of differences.  .....

What is "the seven articles"? Where can I find it?
  
Beginning of Chapter 2:
... See also the article `UNIX shell differences and how to change
your shell' posted frequently to the USENET group comp.unix.shell.

Is it really "frequently posted"?

Could someone please update Usenet-related info and URLs if they
are obsolete?
