Gak! Since it will really have to be entirely lower case I think that alpha
would be better then alphaaxp or alpha-axp.

I am not sure that we really need multiple groups under a new 2nd level
hierachy for this. All the OpenVMS stuff should go into the corresponding
VMS groups (after all, they are the same thing :-) I can see a medium term
need for a group to discuss porting issues, but stuff like system
management should stay in the existing groups and OSF/1 questions should be
in the Usenet comp.unix.osf.osf1 group. If WNT ever gets released then no
doubt a home will be found for it under the comp.os.ms-windows hierachy.

Neil.
