I propose that a source code newsgroup for IBM PC's and compatible micro-
computers be formed.  Appropriate titles would be:

	comp.sources.ibmpc
	comp.sources.msdos

The disadvantage with the later name is that it would imply the exclusion of
OS/2 sources, whereas the first name could be stretched to cover just about
any source code for the IBM PC world, including code for the PS/2 line.

I do not like encoded postings.

A source code newsgroup for ibmpc is long, long overdue.
