Hello.

I'm the administrator of a big Internet mailing list on the topic of the
Coherent operating system.  The list is just an entry in a Unix aliases file, 
which means that mail sent to the list address (coherent@cs.wisc.edu) is echoed
to the subscribers-- there are currently about 170 addresses in the list.  As
a separate service I also generate a digest form of the traffic on the list,
which goes to about 30 addresses, and which I have been in the habit of posting
to comp.os.misc.  This appears roughly twice a week.

With the advent of comp.os.coherent, I will no longer be posting the digest to
comp.os.misc.  Rather I propose-

  1. To post the digest of mailing list traffic here.
  2. To provide a digest of the newsgroup traffic as a separate service.

The goal is to keep those folks without net access connected with any
discussion of Coherent.

I'm posting this primarily to give readers of this forum a chance to object to
my plans to post the digest and secondarily to inform readers of the 
availibility of all three services.  I can best be contacted as
"coherent-request@cs.wisc.edu".
