- Due to the amount of traffic concerning Sun workstations
- and other Unix machines, questions about using X etc .... can
- I suggest ... :-)
-
- How about 'comp.lang.c++.compiler' for compiler and
- platform specific questions. Would enough 'experts' with
- 'already installed' systems actually read this, except when
- *they* needed to?
-
- And how does the poor dumb user (most of use) know if
- its a compiler or language problem? I agree with the above
- sentiments about traffic, especially with a 2400 baud modem ...
- but dont see a solution.
-
- How about if we started posting C++ questions
- to comp.std.c++ instead, and left comp.land.c++ for all other
- issues?
