OK, it's January 1. I'll be calling for votes for comp.sys.ibm.pc.something on January 9th. So far the following suggestions have been made: comp.sys.ibm.pc.tech comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer comp.os.msdos I'm inclined to call for a vote for the second one, but there really hasn't been much of a consensus. Would anyone mind if I ran the vote for .programmer? If not, I'll do that. Otherwise I'll run an STV vote with the three names listed above on the ballot. The charter of the group is: technical discussions of interest to people who program the IBM-PC under DOS. It's likely to include considerable hardware discussion, just because of the nature of the beast. It probably shouldn't involve OS/2 or Microsoft Windows stuff, though: they're already represented on the net (comp.os.os2 and comp.windows.ms). -- `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. .
