annotate DOCS/faq.html @ 6297:b659e476559e
Some more "teamwork", changed references to -users into links, clarified some

61 No, since there have been/are issues with these compilers as well.<BR> |
6055 | 62 Use the 2.95.x series for reliability (not <A HREF="users_against_developers.html#gcc">2.96</A>). |
2954 | 63 Use the latest gcc 3.0.x (starting at 3.0.2) if you want to use a 3.0.x version. |
