REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)<br />
remove comp.lang.prograph<br />
<br />
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the unmoderated<br />
Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.prograph.<br />
<br />
RATIONALE: comp.lang.prograph<br />
<br />
This newsgroup hasn't seen any significant traffic in years. In the past<br />
12 months alone, the group didn't even see ONE on-topic post.<br />
<br />
Scan results from http://netscan.research.microsoft.com :<br />

<br />
It's clear that comp.lang.prograph is an ideal candidate for removal.<br />
<br />
<br />
EXISTING CHARTER: comp.lang.prograph<br />
<br />
Any and all discussion about Prograph, a unique visual object-oriented<br />
dataflow programming language.<br />
<br />
What is Prograph?: Prograph is a complete programming language and<br />
environment that uses visual elements to describe objects and<br />
functions -- there is no textual syntax -- and it has its own<br />
interpreter and compiler. After over five years of availability on<br />
the Apple Macintosh, Prograph is moving cross-platform with versions<br />
for Windows and several Unices currently in testing. The most recent<br />
version of Prograph, Prograph CPX, contains a cross-platform<br />
application framework class library and high-level GUI builder.<br />
Prograph will also have the ability to generate C++ code which will be<br />
compilable under gcc linked to a set of compatibility classes on a<br />
wide variety of platforms.<br />
<br />
What about Prograph Source Code?: Prograph source code should not be<br />
loaded onto the usenet system, as it tends to be large. Instead,<br />
there is a Prograph file archive maintained at ftp.iup.edu in the<br />
info-prograph directory where files can be uploaded and downloaded via<br />
anonymous ftp. For those without ftp access, an info-prograph-sources<br />
mailing list can be established. alt.sources.mac also lists Prograph<br />
code as one of its legal posting types.<br />
<br />
END CHARTER.<br />
<br />
<br />
NOTE: This group was originally gated to a mail list when it was created<br />
in 1994: Info-Prograph <info-prograph@grove.iup.edu><br />
<br />
<br />
PROCEDURE:<br />
<br />
As this is fairly untested ground, we have decided to discuss the<br />
unmoderation of an existing newsgroup before anything is changed. Please<br />
discuss this proposal in news.groups.<br />
