  No, they're a front for the CIA (Co-operators' Insurance
Association, (:-)).
  Seriously, they started as the BDS C Compiler User's group, and
offered upgrades of the compiler as a service.  To the best of my
knowledge (I am a member) they still do.  And upgrades to ``Brain
Damaged Software'' are always useful..

  They're now much more Unix-oriented, and are merging with the
chaps who put out the `C Journal'', which replaces their newsletter.
