I would like to call an informal discussion on the creation of a new news- group. Its subject would be the Network Computing System (NCS) by Apollo (HP/Apollo). NCS: NCS is the OSF's choice for its Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface, and is available for various platforms (It is native to the Apollos and comes with their Domain/OS). The group: The group would probably be called comp.protocols.ncs, comp.protocols.rpc.ncs, or comp.rpc.ncs, and it would be unmoderated. It would be a forum for the discussion of NCS in terms of: 1. The OSF's choice of NCS. 2. The future of NCS. 3. Programming under NCS and NIDL. 4. Managing NCS-based applications (mostly only Apollo users right now) If response is reasonably good, I will send out an official call next week. -AJS -- asherman@dino.ulowell.edu or asherman%cpe@swan.ulowell.edu Note that as of 7/18/90 that's asherman@dino.cpe.ulowell.edu "That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is."

The OSF's choice of NCS. Why not have an OSF groupt instead. This could be used to communicate all kinds of OSF related information. Knowledge about the OSFs decision is scarce, and I guess the USERS of future systems should have some say also.If volume increases, we could then split comp.sys.osf to become an OS, a Motif, an NCS group... bye, mike ____ ____ / / / / / Michael K.
