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. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
