I think that the amount of traffic in comp.sys.ibm.pc covers non-100% compatibles close enough to initially make the following name changes: comp.pc.hard technical discussions comp.pc.soft software discussions comp.pc.prog programming discussions (how do I make this hardware to that function.) Further expansion might be as follows: comp.pc.hard.tech for PC [clone/peripheral] discussions comp.pc.soft.apps for PC Application discussions comp.pc.soft.dos for PC/MSDOS (or compatible) discussions comp.pc.soft.os2 for OS/2 comp.pc.soft.os for non DOS/OS2 OS' or environments (Yes, they really do exist Virginia!) --Frotz @Digital Research, Incorporated amdahl!drivax!frotz 70 Garden Court, B10 (408) 649-3896 Monterey, California 93940 Ask for John Fa'atuai
