[news.groups] comp.os.qnx?

peter@ficc.ferranti.com (Peter da Silva) (07/30/90)

Most of the discussion in comp.os.misc these days is about QNX. Seems to me
that it's time to create a QNX newsgroup. The volume isn't high, but it's
consistent and of high quality.

I don't know about most of the traffic as a whole, but most of the traffic
that I read there is :-).  Which means I do have an interest in it.  I don't
really have a feel for how much widespread interest there is though.  It
seems that there's a fair amount of posting from only a very small number
of people.

One thing that would help a lot would be if Quantum showed that they were
interested in a group like that.  I've stated before that I'd be willing to
work with them to do some gatewaying if they wanted, but there wasn't any
response from them.  Since I know that some of their best people (and they
have some really good ones) scan news, I assume that's indicative that they
aren't interested in Usenet.  [Even a negative would have been some response
from them, but didn't get that either.]

Under these conditions I have to reluctantly say that QNX one usenet will
likely stay in the '.misc' catagory for a while.  Who knows, though, if
they do get the POSIX complient version out sometime soon.

Regards,
Dew
