- May I suggest a simpler alternative GSofT:
-
- comp.os.msdos.databases For discussion of MS-DOS databases.
-
- or
-
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.databases For discussion of databases on IBM PCs.

- Of course, this presupposes we have a net-reader with the time and
- inclination to run a vote for the proposal. I can't do it; but the
- necessary info for startup is at the beginning of news.groups, last
- I checked. I have a feeling that such a vote would pass easily.
