The 4dos-related traffic here and in comp.os.msdos.apps suggests to me that a
newsgroup is _not_ in order; perhaps a mailing list would be if someone could
be found to handle it.

Compared to 4dos, the messdos command processor creates a localized partial
vaccuum -- not many will dispute that.  Still,  it's a minority (how small,
I wonder?) who use it, and IMHO the traffic related thereunto doesn't justify
even that mailing list.

When I have a 4dos related question, I'll probably put it here on in the
aforementioned comp.os.msdos.apps group.  It'll get answered.
