Please keep AIX-L for the purpose >it was intended when AIX 370 becomes generally available. I certainly don't want to undermine the purpose of AIX-L by starting up an AIX370-L. But, this situation does demonstrate one of those age-old problems: I'm subscribed to AIX-L solely to get info on AIX/370. Because there is very little info to be had on AIX/370 at this time, this means that maybe one in a hundred postings are of interest to me. Meanwhile, I happily discard those other 99 on PS/2 AIX and RT AIX, because I could care less about those subjects. But that also means that a fair amount of network resources have been wasted in shipping those 99 articles that I cared nothing about to me. Is there any way to address this type of problem without segregating the list? -Chuck
