- This was suggested several months ago, and the final result was that
- if you had a comp.lang.c++.borland, you would have to create a
- comp.lang.c++.microsoft and a comp.lang.c++.zortech, and so on.
- Given the types of posts we see on the net every day (Help me
- program a btree routine for my final! Hurry, it's due tomorrow!),
- I don't think it would help. I've found that setting up a kill file
- with keys like Borland, Turbo, Vison, etc, works well.
