Hi, Ashish.  You can get most of your answers from the FAQ, but
please visit our website:

If you have specific questions that the FAQ doesn't answer, we'll
do what we can to help.  Also, feel free to review the mail archive
for this newsgroup, also available via the URL above, to see what
has been discussed in the past.
