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 no special
distribution.  This means everyone who gets mod.announce should
get this message.

Another message was posted a day ago to mod.announce with distribution
"comp".  You should have seen that message before this one.  If you
did not see that message, and it isn't waiting after this message
in mod.announce, something is wrong.  Please ask your netnews
administrator to read net.news.adm for details.

The final list of newsgroup names has not been determined yet.
When we have a fairly solid list, we'll post it to net.news.group
for brief public comment.  That should be soon now.
