[comp.sys.ibm.pc] MKS Mailing List

I am interested in reviving the MKS mailing list.

I've recently been seeing a lot of postings from folks who are using various 
MKS products (Toolkit, vi, awk, RCS, others), and I expect these types of 
postings will increase as more "converted" PC users get access to the net. The 
MKS mailing list has been dormant for over a year now, and this seems like a 
good time to try and get it going again.

I contacted the original moderator, Bruce Jones (bjones%weber@ucsd.edu), and
he has indicated that he is no longer interested in MKS stuff due to his
having acquired an AT&T UNIX-PC. I am willing to take the reins if there is
enough interest from others. 

One of the problems we had with the original mailing list was that very few 
people ever submitted anything. I would like to try and encourage people to 
share their tips, utilities, and other info with other MKS users, with the
idea that submissions could be packaged into a digest form. Perhaps we can 
get somebody involved at MKS as well (Gerry Wheeler, maybe?).

MKS users seem to be a small, loyal group, and I think our interests can be
better served (and overall net bandwidth reduced) by having things addressed
through the mailing list.
