   There are many sites which could gate the DESQVIEW echo to
comp.os.msdos.desqview but, frankly, I don't think you'd like it.
For one thing, volume here seems to be on the order of 20 messages
per day; on Fido, it's more like 120.

   If the readership at large would still like to see the gateway
installed, let me know.  On the other hand, I could probably
speak to the agent participating in the Fido echo about setting up
a Usenet feed for direct participation... but I don't know if he'll
be able to get a local feed easily.
