For group passage, YES votes must be at least 2/3 of all valid (YES and NO) votes. There also must be at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes. There is a five day discussion period after these results are posted. If no serious allegations of voting irregularities are raised, the moderator of news.announce.newgroups will create the group shortly thereafter. Newsgroups line: comp.sys.amstrad.8bit Amstrad CPC/PcW/GX4000 software/hardware. This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting questions only contact rdippold qualcomm.com. For questions about the proposed group contact Emmanuel Roussin <roussin frmug.fr.net> CHARTER (Proponent) The proposed unmoderated newsgroup comp.sys.amstrad.8bit will be open to discussions about the Amstrad CPC (464, 664, 6128, 464+, 6128+), PcW (8256, 8512, 9256, 9512, 9512+, QUibble) and GX4000. Appropriate topics would include, but not be limited to : - CPC/PcW/GX4000 hardware, software, - CPCEMU, the CPC emulator from Marco Vieth, currently v1.0 at oak.oakland.edu in /SimTel/msdos/emulator/CPCEMU10.ZIP In the future, if they are too many message about it, we will discuss about a comp.emulators.cpc newsgroup, - specific Amstrad CP/M files, overlays... etc... The only topic that is excluded is: discussion of Amstrad PC-compatible (1512, 1640, 2x86, 3x86 and others Amstrad compatible I don't know) because these computers are really compatible, so comp.sys.ibm.pc.* newsgroups must be used. In the future, the newsgroup could be reorganized in comp.sys.amstrad.8bit.cpc and comp.sys.amstrad.8bit.pcw if really needed. The newsgroup, if created, will be relayed on BBS as not everybody can read newsgroups, they will have also files for CPC/PcW : * genesis : the 8bit generation, FIDO 2:320/220 this french BBS will open this summer, * Aspects BBS, FIDO 2:250/107 in U.K. Expect other BBS in the future, we are looking for a BBS in Germany. The BBS will take care to post valid messages, not to post dupes, etc... FTP sites with CPC files : * ftp.demon.co.uk in /pub/cpm, specific Amstrad CP/M files, thanks to Paul Martin * ftp.nvg.unit.no (soon), thanks to Arnt Gulbrandsen And perhaps a coming french site. Sinclair and Commodore 8bit users have their own newsgroup, the CPC/PcW were widely sold in U.K., France and Germany, also in other countries. It's time to have now our own newsgroup to discuss about these good computers.
