c++ - New newsgroups!

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!

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!
