  14. : I suggest the following subgroups:
  15. :     Visual
  16.  
  17. Isn't there already a VC++/MFC newsgroup? It isn't doing anyone
  18. any good.
  19.  
  20. :     Borland/Delphi
  21.  
  22. Delphi isn't C++. You'd have to have a comp.lang.c++.vs.delphi.advocacy
  23. group!
  24.  
  25. :     Other
  26.  
  27. What does 'other' cover?
  28.  
  29. :     Opinions
  30.      
  31. Isn't that kinda the whole mission behind Usenet? Opinions?
  32.  
  33. Anyway, a split would create a whole lot of bogus, low-traffic
  34. newsgroups. You really need 3D naming, since it is almost impossible to
  35. heirarchize these topics. One person's
  36. comp.lang.c++.classlibs.frameworks.owl is someone else's
  37. comp.lang.c++.compilers.borland_c++.windows_specific_programming.owl,
  38. after all.
  39.  
  40. Some groups:
  41.  
  42. comp.lang.c++.compilers.visual_c++
  43. comp.lang.c++.compilers.visual_c++.c++_implementation
  44. comp.lang.c++.compilers.visual_c++.windows_specific_programming
  45. comp.lang.c++.compilers.visual_c++.windows_specific_programming.mfc
  46. comp.lang.c++.compilers.visual_c++.bugs
  47. comp.lang.c++.compilers.borland_c++
  48. comp.lang.c++.compilers.borland_c++.c++_implementation
  49. comp.lang.c++.compilers.borland_c++.windows_specific_programming

  52. comp.lang.c++.compilers.gnu_g++
  53. comp.lang.c++.compilers.* (Watcom, Symantic, MacIntosh, etc)
  54. comp.lang.c++.vs.delphi.advocacy (for people who like C++ more)
