[r-t] What's the meaning of a method having aparticularfalsecourse head

[Andrew Johnson]

Is the table of the 'groups' of false course heads available online?
Some of the groups are mentioned in Wilfred Wilson's book 'Change 
Ringing', but that list isn't complete.

says:
To find a composition in this book, first find out the false course-heads 
of the method. For rung methods, this information can be found in the 
printed Central Council collection or using a computer program such as 
Method Master. The complete false course-head (FCH) information for a 
method is in 3 parts: In-course, tenors-together FCH, represented by 
upper-case letters 'A' to 'U' Out-of-course, tenors-together FCH, 
represented by lower-case letters 'a' to 'f' Tenors-parted FCH, 
represented by the upper-case letters 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' Now look in the 
index section for the method's lead-head group to find a composition that 
has ticks in all the columns for the method's FCH. 

so I now know what the names of the groups are, but not the details.

The online method collection
http://www.methods.org.uk/method-collections/surprise/surp8.txt
doesn't list the false course heads for the methods.

I know I could take the place notation and put it into MethGen
http://www.saddleton.freeuk.com/software/methgen.htm
but that is laborious.

If the Central Council were to put the details on their website would that 
be a Methods Committee, Peal Compositions Committee or Information and 
Communications Technology Committee responsibility?
