Personally, I realize that a lot of the below quoted junk does not belong,
but many times I have learned a tad here or there reading the original
poat and the first couple of posts thereafter.  While the FW(% looks like
it's been running too long to have anything meaningfull being said
anymore, items in the various games threads have proved to be interesting.
It's your call I say, if you could set it up where the mailing list gets
filtered, but the newsgroup gets semifiltered, I'd sign up to the mailing
list to keep track of the main topic, and use the newsgroup to learn about
other things people are doing with DJGPP and related offspring.
