I've seen a couple of replys to the splitup proposition saying they
don't think its a good idea because of the porability across platforms
of most minix postings...I agree, but that wasn't the intent of the
original message, it suggested a split along info/sources lines.
comp.os.minix and comp.sources.minix I am assuming.  After digging
through the archives at vm1.nodak.edu I tend to agree.  I have looked
at the comp.sources.unix archive and found exactly what I wanted quickly,
but having to look through megabytes of info questions to get the one
source file is a pain...having a newsgroup for JUST sources would
make it easier to find the files people want.
