- Let me insert some informational facts here. Newgroup creation is a
- complicated process which takes about three months to go through
- from square one. The Turbo Pascal group has been suggested before
- and if someone is prepared to take it seriously on, please first
- read the UseNet rules of newsgroup creation

- Please understand this note correctly. I am not opposed. On the
- contrary. I would certainly vote yes for a comp.lang.pascal.tp.
- But before the users get too carried away, it pays to find out the
- realities of newsgroup creation process.

-
- The answer to your first question is in the above. However, the
- suggestion has been done before, as I said, and nothing came of it.
- But perhaps the time is riper now. But someone has to voluteer to
- do a _LOT_ of work first by taking on the lengthy official process.
- Else this discussion leads nowhere. (These are the facts of UseNet
- life).
-
- All the best, Timo

- P.S. No, not me.
