I would recommend a name like net.sources.msdos or such, since "pc" is becoming a broader term. Steve Westfall uucp: ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!west I'd like to second that! Trying to remember were a posted source was after you've seen it and not save it immediately is a bit of a problem. "Now were was it? In net.sources, INFO-IBMPC, net.micro*, etc. etc...." Net.sources.msdos is the most appropriate name so long as the entries aren't always IBM specific. ================================================================ _____ -Rusty- |\/ o \ o | ( -< O o Where's the fish? |/\__V__/ ARPA: Haddock%Waltz%TI-CSL.csnet@CSNet-Relay.arpa CSNet: Haddock@TI-CSL USENET: {ut-sally, convex!smu, texsun, rice} ! waltz ! haddock
