I have seen a lot of traffic in the various groups listed in the last
few months, and I'm wondering if an alt group is in order. Proposed name
is alt.archivers, to indicate the charter.
Charter:
alt.archivers is for discussion of data compression algorithms, their
implementations, archiver programs and their file formats, and such
patent and legal issues which directly effect implementation.
It is *not* intended for discussion of political or ethical topics,
discussion of social changes, or any other non-technical issues related
to what might or should happen in the future or a perfect world.
