CALL FOR VOTES: creation of comp.lang.idl-pvwave

This is to solict votes to create a group for a language called either IDL
or PV-Wave (depending on whom you buy it from).

Group Name:	comp.lang.idl-pvwave
Vote period:	Through June 22, 1990.

To vote: send mail to

rfinch at water.ca.gov	---or---   ...ucbvax!ucdavis!caldwr!rfinch

Replying to this message should work.

Indicate clearly in the subject and/or message whether your vote is YES or
NO for creating comp.lang.idl-pvwave.  Qualified votes ("I vote yes
if...."), votes posted to a group, or unclear votes cannot be counted.
I'll reply to each vote individually; a mass acknowledgment will be made
at the end.

Charter: An unmoderated newsgroup for discussing the programming language
known as both Interactive [Data/Display] Language (IDL) and PV-Wave
(Precision Visuals Workstation Analysis and Visualization Environment).
Topics will be programming tips, techniques, and code exchanges, either
full programs or fragments.  The proposed group is intended primarily to
discuss numerical analysis, imaging, scientific visualization, etc.  *as
performed using the IDL/Wave language*; it is not intended to support
discussions concerning those topics directly, as groups already exist for
those purposes (e.g.  sci.math.num-analysis).

The existing group comp.lang.idl is for the Interface Description
Language, something else entirely.

This Call For Votes does not constitute an endorsement of any product or
company.
