I know that I find it a lot easier to do things, once I have seen how others do them. Any thoughts? Anyone want to take the "ball" and run with it?

It doesn't seem to be necessary to create a new group for postscript examples, etc when the volume in this group is low. Do you expect more traffic just by creating *another* newsgroup? Is there a problem with just using *this* group? Just wondering. Louis A. Mamakos WA3YMH Internet: louie@TRANTOR.UMD.EDU University of Maryland, Computer Science Center - Systems Programming

There is no need to set up another newsgroup. Just put the PostScript artwork in this group. If the volume becomes unmanageable THEN maybe a new group could be formed. Tom.

Once upon a time, PostScript examples were frequent on comp.lang.postscript Normal rules for newsgroup creation ask that significant traffic be demonstrated first. This is hardly the case now. So just post the code in this newsgroup... Jean-Francois Lamy AI Group, Department of Computer Science lamy@ai.toronto.edu University of Toronto, Canada M5S 1A4 uunet!ai.toronto.edu!lamy

>>Perhaps a more appropriate groups would be comp.examples.postscript? >Or perhaps comp.lang.postscript.examples? Or maybe just comp.lang.postscript? If as many people posted postscript examples as suggestions for new newsgroups, maybe we would have the volume necessary for another newsgroup. I'm fairly new to postscript I'd rather see code than new groups. Louis A. Mamakos WA3YMH Internet: louie@TRANTOR.UMD.EDU University of Maryland, Computer Science Center - Systems Programming
