It was an experimental group which never quite worked, and whose purpose should be met by the uucp map project. Check to make sure that you don't have a "net.adm" directory sitting around after you delete the group -- there is no net.adm group. The net.sources newsgroup is very valuable to many, many people on the net. It is often archived in some permanent manner by site administrators. The recent flood of "wanted" articles and discussions about feature (?) and bugs in posted software has both dismayed and enraged netters everywhere. To help rectify the situation, I have created 2 new newsgroups: net.sources.bugs and net.wanted.sources. net.sources.bugs is intended for discussions about bugs and features of posted sources. Almost every followup to articles posted in net.sources should go to this newsgroup. This is a subgroup of net.sources instead of being net.bugs.sources for the reason that bug fixes are desirable to archive as well as the sources. net.wanted.sources is a subgroup to request specific items of software. Requests for software, termcap entries, and manual entries should be posted here and NOT to net.sources. I will post the updated list of active newsgroups on Oct. 1. I will also post a news 2.10.2 "checkgroups" message at that time. -- Off the Wall of Gene Spafford The Clouds Project, School of ICS, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 Phone: (404) 894-6169, (404) 894-6170 [messages] CSNet: Spaf @ GATech ARPA: Spaf%GATech.CSNet @ CSNet-Relay.ARPA uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!spaf ...!{rlgvax,sb1,seismo,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!spaf
