c++ - New newsgroups!

The following new newsgroups have been created:

c++.windows.16-bits
c++.windows.32-bits

I hope we all will post our messages as much as possible to the
appropriate groups. I think the names are explanatory enough, if
not, let me know! <g>

Also, if you have idea's or suggestions for other newsgroups let
me know as I rather create new newsgroups in advance than
afterwards.

Thanks!

So a incoming message will be classed it its newsgroup and be copied in
the 'garbage' one as well.
Perhaps Netscape can do that but i don't know how to do it.

Never thought of that...
Of course we could leave it up to the visitor to 'cross post', but that
requires a certain discipline which might not work out too well.
I will check into the other option.

Hello !

The goal is to be aware of all is incoming on the newsgroup witout having to
go on all the newsgroup.
I think the 'garbage' newsgroup must be read only and contain only links to
real messages.
It is just a suggestion if it is easy to do, i don't know.
Anyway, without such links, there should be not too much newsgroup.

Roland

Well, you mean Netscape does not show you all the groups in bold that have new messages?

Have to check the INND docco later today.

True. Otherwise people might not see the forest any more because of the trees as they say in Dutch! Jan

Netscape's news client has a bug which prevents me from viewing messages in any group with a short name. Unfortunately, c++ and c++.dos are unavailable to me :-(. -- <!-Outsider//-> MS-DOS 6.22, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Netscape Navigator 4.08

I use 4.08. Please let me know if you hear of a fix for it. I am using the newest version available to me. BTW, NS users might want to add this to your prefs.js file: user_pref("mailnews.reply_on_top", 0); Do this when Netscape is not running. Doesn't matter where, NS will sort it out when it starts. It is improper and extremely difficult to follow discussions when people post responses _before_ the original message. -- <!-Outsider//-> MS-DOS 6.22, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Netscape Navigator 4.08

That's won't help you a lot! <g> May be you should install Linux/FreeBSD and run one of the clients on those platforms! Sorry, I do not know about any newer version for Windows 3.11... I guess the version you are running now is a Win32s version? Good luck! Jan

I don't think it needs Win32's to run. Also, I don't think the latest OS's are required to do DOS programming.
 Good luck!
