David W.Taylor, MicroPro Product Development >{dual,hplabs,glacier,lll-crg}!well!micropro!sagan!david ------------------------------------------------- I could not agree more. The more I use and develop on the MAC the more I am convinced it has made major new inroads into system and software implementation. Structured languages and documented programming were met with resistance. Unless we develop new concepts and are open to new concepts, we are placing our heads in the sand once again. UNIX and any other operating system can learn alot from MAC derived software. If by no other means than carrying thoughts and ideas from the MAC to their world. My single vote is that this group should be allowed to exist and that a more formal way of announcing cancellations should be devised, to insure the users of said groups are given fair warning of impending cancellation.
