This message announces the formation of a new moderated newsgroup, mod.newprod. This group is intended to be THE place where announcements of new products, services, and conferences can be found. The starting guidelines are as follows: A) Announcements should ideally fit within about 15 screen lines. B) There must be a name and address (electronic and postal) for receiving more information. (A phone number is suggested.) C) Announcements that look like advertising hype to the moderator will be edited and returned to the submitter for approval. D) Announcements should happen no more than once. Announcements can go over the 15 line suggested limit if they appear to be of general interest and contain sufficient meat to be worth people's time to look at it. I am open to further suggestions on modifications to the guidelines. Submissions should be sent to newprod@cbosgd.UUCP and comments/questions to newprod-request@cbosgd.UUCP. Thanks. -- Ronald W. Heiby Moderator, mod.newprod. AT&T-IS, /app/eng, Lisle, IL
