The following new newsgroups have been created:
c++.dos.16-bits
c++.dos.32-bits
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!

It it possible to have a 'garbage' news group where all the new message
arrive ?
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.

Regards

Roland

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!

That would be surprizing, but than, what do I know. I run Windows 16 bits versions a long time ago. It would be kinda surprizing though as at at certain moment about everything seemed to require Win32s being installed...
 Also, I don't think the latest OS's are required to do DOS programming.

You're right about that one! Jan
