This message re-announces the Moderated Unix Technical Digest. This had previously been known as "mod.unix". The new name is "mod.os.unix". The first issue of Volume 3 has just gone out. Here is a revision of the original introduction to mod.unix. ----- Welcome to mod.os.unix! It is intended that mod.os.unix be a place for the exchange of technical information and mutual assistance in matters related to the Unix Operating System. I hope you find it helpful. Let me know of ways in which I can improve its usefulness to you. Although I am pretty knowledgeable about System V and had a passing acquaintance with 4.1bsd, I know next to nothing about 4.2bsd, 2bsd, and most of the more obscure hybrids. So, we are still counting on the readership to supply most of the answers. If I see a question come in that has been covered before, and there has been nothing (like a new bsd or AT&T release) that might change the previous material, I will try to just send a "back issue" to the questioner to see if that is the needed information. If not, maybe a more specific question to the group is what is needed. I will also try to weed out items that are more appropriate to another group. In particular, this is not net.bugs, net.legal, net.wanted.sources, net.dcom, or net.rumor. I would prefer that mod.os.unix not turn into a discussion group on the political or economic ramifications of some new product announcement, either. New product announcements belong in mod.newprod. To post an article to mod.os.unix, send it as mail to "unix@cbosgd.UUCP". Administrative messages should be mailed to "unix-request@cbosgd.UUCP". Ron Heiby, Moderator heiby@cuae2.UUCP
