Usenet will be reorganizing from two top level names (net and mod)
into seven (comp, sci, news, misc, rec, soc, talk) over the next
several months.  All system administrators were supposed to make
a change to their sys file to handle this by July 15.  So far, a
test sendsys message with distribution "comp" has generated 265
responses in 4 days.  This is good, although there are probably
still significant pockets of the net that aren't getting comp
and the other six new distributions.

This message was posted to newsgroup mod.announce with distribution
"comp".  If everything is working properly, you should see this message.

A followup will be posted normally to mod.announce in a day or so.
Please just remember that you saw this message, so you'll know
things are OK when you see the next one.
