Do you really need to post a follow-up everytime someone makes this mistake? Relax, the end is in sight. The transition plan calls for a 3-month overlap between the old and new groups. A liberal interpretation of the schedule means the old groups should get deep-six'ed around April Fool's day. I'd rather see a few extraneous postings than lose some legitimate unix-pc users. Let's take enough time to get everyone transitioned over to the new groups. Mark

Then you had better go ahead and create one because this group has nothing whatsoever to do with IBM compatibles. The "unix-pc" part of the name refers to a specific 68010-based machine that runs UNIX. It's the AT&T UNIX-PC, aka 7300, aka 3B1, aka Convergent Safari 4. "PC" doesn't just mean Intel platforms, you know. It means "personal computer," regardless of manufacturer. It's just this kind of confusion that prompted the name change.
