Dear Fellow Pascal Users,

Now that we have the long-awaited Pascal newsgroups reorganization,
please let me try to help by repeating the central information. This
information is an edited rendition from our

 87726 Aug 6 08:55 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/tsfaqp27.zip
 tsfaqp27.zip Common Turbo Pascal Questions and Timo's answers

I think it will be advisable that I post this information
automatically once a week for awhile to all the pascal newsgroups to
help to get us organized.

76. *****

 Q: What are the current Pascal newsgroups on the Usenet news?

 A: The following new Pascal newsgroups were created June 12, 1995
to replace the old comp.lang.pascal. The following new Delphi
newsgroups were created around July 10, 1995.

A special note about Delphi postings. Please use the new delphi
newsgroups for the Delphi related postings. In particular, don't let
the names mislead you. The newsgroup comp.lang.pascal.borland does
NOT cover Delphi.

A second special note. Please avoid crossposting between the Pascal
newsgroups. In particular do not crosspost between the old
comp.lang.pascal and the new Pascal newsgroups. It is slows the
transition to the new system. (This automatic posting breaches the
non-crossposting tenet only because it is relevant information about
the arrangements of all the Pascal newsgroups.)

NEW:
 comp.lang.pascal.ansi-iso Pascal according to ANSI and ISO standards.

 comp.lang.pascal.delphi.misc          General issues with Borland Delphi.

RELATED of potential interest:
comp.os.msdos.programmer.turbovision Borland's text application libraries

OLD:

For more information about the new Pascal newsgroups please see

If your site is not getting the new Pascal newsgroups, please
contact your own site's newsmaster about the situation.
