Well this may be OK, but I would rather see it broke down into the different vendor catagories under the specific processors. Here is an example of what I mean: comp.unix.i286 General 80286 UNIX discussions comp.unix.i386 General 80386 UNIX discussions comp.unix.i286.microport For System V/AT comp.unix.i386.microport For System V/386 comp.unix.i386.ix For IX from Interactive for the 80386 comp.unix.i286.xenix For 80286 Xenix comp.unix.1386.xenix For 80386 Xenix I know this idea will create a half dozen new groups, but it will certanly keep similar interests togeather. Also there should be no big deal about several subdivisions, it's only a couple extra subdirectories on our systems :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP/SMTP : howardl@wb3ffv | Howard D.
