-
- comp.lang.c++ is certainly getting flooded.
-
- There are many questions on
-
- a) PC technicalities (also others for Unix though!)
- b) compiler installation
- c) beginners language issues
-
- that might be better elsewhere but I dount that comp.os.msdos is
- appropriate. People using C++ want support from other C++ users,
- comp.os.msdos is likely to be even more flooded.
-
- It might be appropriate to have a comp.newuser.c++
- group or some other forum to soak up some of the postings
- that really have nowhere else to go.
-
- As more an more PC users have both PC's and Internet access,
- and C++ becomes more and more popular, the number of postings
- relating to the C++ language itself in this group is likely to
- diminish proportionally unless an appropriate new group is formed.
-
- Any comments?
