How about trying to shorten the names/heirarchical levels of the
group?  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!)
