I do not think that the newsgroup should be split, unless both new groups will be redistributed on BITNET. I'm on BITNET only, and have no access to any usenet newsgroups. For that same reason, I appreciate Andy's remark that he'll have sources posted here even if they could be found in some other newsgroup. One thing would be helpful, however: could every posting be clearly marked (near the top :-) whether it deals with PC-Minix, ST-Minix or 'generic' Minix ?

Due to a few local problems this didn't make it the first time. The discussion
seems to have died down a bit in the interim, but, what the heck!
I'd like to see this newsgroup continue as is. Should the split occur the
Atari branch may not make it out here - they killed off local distribution
of all the Atari groups about six months ago. I'd hate to see the same thing
happen with Minix/ST.
Also since we're talking about an os, I feel that it should transcend the
hardware. Well I know it's not really possible yet, but surely that's
the idea in the long run.
