This is a call for discussion on the creation of a newsgroup

comp.mathematica.

Mathematica is a powerful new computer mathematics system that
currently runs on machines from the following hardware vendors:

Apple Macintosh
Sun Microsystems
Ardent
Stellar
IBM RT
NeXT Computer
Silicon Graphics

and soon a number of others.  There are over 1000
Mathematica users already.  Since this system is designed to
be programmed, we expect many Mathematica packages and
notebooks to be written and many tricks and tips
developed. 

It is expected that this will be a very active group
due to the large number of users and the many vendors
who will be selling this program in the next year.

A Mathematica user group is being organized with the support
and encouragement of the Mathematica vendors.  

A newsgroup specific to this system will be of great value
to users and will provide a convenient place to put new
programs and algorithms.

All discussion of this proposal should take place in this
news.group.  Discussion will be ended in two weeks on
November 5 at midnight.  If sufficient interest is shown,
a call for votes will be posted.

TO READERS OF SCI.MATH.SYMBOLIC, COMP.SYS.NEXT, COMP.SYS.SUN,
COMP.SYS.MAC, COMP.SYS.IBM.PC.RT, COMP.SYS.SGI
 - POST ALL DISCUSSION IN NEWS.GROUPS.
