- Maybe. but most of the Borland or MS specific questions are not on
- the subject of the C++ language, and rarely are they on the use of
- the IDE. Instead, most BC/MSVC questions concern OWL and MFC.
- Newsgroups for those subjects already exist:
-
- comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.mfc
- comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.owl
-
- So, IMHO, the answer isn't to split the newsroup but to direct the
- lost souls to post in the correct newsgroup.
