  15. Rather than going to the detailed level of
  16.  
  17.       comp.os.msdos.databases.paradox
  18.       comp.os.msdos.databases.dbase
  19.  
  20. ... I would suggest just going one step down from the current
  21. hierarchy, namely
  22.  
  23.       comp.databases.micros
  24.  
  25. It seems to me that the association of the new subgroups to the
  26. comp.databases hierarchy is stronger than to the various operating
  27. systems, particularly given that dBASE and Fox are available on
  28. quite a few platforms.
  29.  
  30. If Paradox people don't want to read traffic about dBASE, then
  31. we should follow the existing
  32.  
  33.        comp.databases.sysbase
  34. with
  35.        comp.databases.dbase (or xbase)
  36.        comp.databases.paradox
