REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
remove comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the
newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest.
RATIONALE: remove comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest
There have been no approved messages since December 1995. The
newsgroup was a gateway for the info-ibmpc mailing list, and I can
find no evidence of the existence of the mailing list after December
1995.
Discussion of the IBM PC can occur in any number of groups in the
comp.sys.ibm.pc.* hierarchy, as well as various hierarchies devoted to
operating systems that run on the IBM PC (or clones), including
comp.os.msdos.*, comp.os.ms-windows.*, and comp.os.os2.*.
HISTORY:
The newsgroup
mod.computers.ibm-pc was created in October 1985 as a
gateway for the ARPAnet mailing list INFO-IBMPC. The mailing list was
then in its 4th year. The group was renamed to comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest
as part of the Great Renaming in April 1987.
