I for one am very interested in creating a .windows newsgroup.  I don't,
however, feel the need at this point for separate newsgroups relating to
the source files.  We would then have .windows.tpascal; .windows.c++;
.windows.vbasic; .windows.smalltalkV; etc, etc...

Perhaps at some point, the level of traffic will justify more newsgroups.
