Ultrix Newsgroup Statistics

[George Robbins]

While trying real hard to avoid doing any useful work, I got curious
and worked up some statistics regarding the nature and perhaps the
utility of the Ultrix news groups here.

I guess I'd like to say thanks to all the people that have helped here
or via E-mail, especially those from DEC who have gone beyond their
"jobs" to help out us users/customers:
