- READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST TO THE C.B.I.P. NEWSGROUPS
-
- This is the charter of the comp.binaries.ibm.pc discussion subgroups.
- The charter took effect the 23rd of July, 1991, and is edited from Bob
- Sloane's original posting on the cbip reorganization. Please contact
- your system manager if you are not getting all the discussion subgroups.
-
- comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d charter:
- The existing comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d is to be used for discussions about
- the actual programs posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc, such as bug reports
- (but not articles about missing parts) or requests about how to use the
- programs.
-
- Please do not post your message to cbip.d or to cbip.archives when
- it clearly belongs to cbip.wanted or some non-cbip newsgroup. Off-
- topic postings have been unfortunately quite common ever since the
- reorganization. Keeping the groups organized is in your own interest.
-
- comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted charter:
- This group is to be used to post requests/replies concerning where to
- find ibm pc or compatible programs. Topics include requests for
- missing parts of binaries posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc and requests
- for specific programs.
-
- comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives charter:
- This group is to be used to post announcements related to archive
- sites for ibm pc and compatible binary files. Appropriate articles
- include such topics as announcements of new binaries available,
- connectivity problems with archive sites, and bug/problem reports
- concerning programs from archive sites. Requests concerning where
- particular programs are available are not appropriate, and should
- be posted to the c.b.i.p.wanted group instead.
