For anyone _else_ who missed this in the FAQ list--

    Q102. What's the difference from comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer?

    A.  c.s.i.p.programmer is the old name of comp.os.msdos.programmer, and
        has been obsolete since September 1990.  However, many systems have
        not removed the old group, or have removed it but aliased it to the
        new name.  This means that some people still think they're posting
        to c.s.i.p.programmer even though they're actually posting to
        c.o.m.programmer.

        You can easily verify the non-existence of c.s.i.p.programmer by
        reference to the "List of Active Newsgroups" posted to news.groups.

If your site accepts postings to comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer, its list of
newsgroups may be out of date.  Your sysadmin may not be aware of this.
