<> Since the second Ansi Standard is in the evaluation phase for Mumps (ANSI X-11.1) and there are (to my knowledge) at least a dozen folks on the net who are either directly involved with the standard (several on the ARPA net as well), is there sufficient interest to start a newsgroup for the language? I feel that an ongoing electronic discussion greatly facilitates both the evolution of any computer system as well as speeds up the ANSI process (at the several meetings each year people spend a significant amount of time getting back on the learning curve and there isn't enought time to cover ideas in sufficient detail at the meetings anyway). I would also like to see the UN*X standards being discussed on the net as well for similar reasons. Perhaps this all belongs under net.std - I don't really care where, I just want to see it! Respond any way you see fit! I will respond appropriately! -- Hokey ..ihnp4!plus5!hokey 314-725-9492

How about using net.lang until the need for the separate group is justified? It may save us having to remove an unwanted group.
