[This group did not follow creation guidelines because there was no
call for discussion for comp.sys.novell in news.announce.newgroups.
There also currently exists a trial newsgroup named
trial.comp.sys.novell.-eliot]
*** PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE BEFORE REPLYING ***
This is the second call for votes for creation of a new group
comp.sys.novell
This group will be self-moderated. This basically means that flamers and
obnixious people will be ignored by the rest of us.
The voting period will last until 11:59 PM on Aug 10, 1990.

CALL FOR DISCUSSION
###################################
comp.sys.netware
###################################
Why add a new group?
A forum to discuss technical and non-technical issues specific to
the Novell's Netware family of Local Area and Wide Area Networking products.
These include Netware286, Netware386, Portable Netware, Communication products,
Database products, Excelan LAN WorkPlace family (TCP/IP) etc. etc.
The creation of this forum will allow the Novell Netware enthusiasts
at USENET their own forum to discuss items of a non-technical nature
(how to use software packages, what networking card to buy, etc)
and items of a technical nature (what's wrong with this code?, how do I use
this toolkit call?, etc.), thus reducing the amount of time spent sorting
through multiple groups on protocols, lans, ibmpc, tcp-ip.
