CFV: comp.lang.prograph
Ron Asbestos Dippold
FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2)
unmoderated group comp.lang.prograph
Newsgroups line:
comp.lang.prograph Prograph, a Visual OOP Dataflow Programming Language.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 15 February 1994.
After the CFV appears on news.announce.newgroups it will be posted to
the Info-Prograph mailing list <info-p...@grove.iup.edu>.
This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting
questions only contact rdip...@qualcomm.com. For questions about the
proposed group contact Peter Jensen <pje...@biosun.harvard.edu>.
CHARTER
Any and all discussion about Prograph, a unique visual object-oriented
dataflow programming language.
What is Prograph?: Prograph is a complete programming language and
environment that uses visual elements to describe objects and
functions -- there is no textual syntax -- and it has its own
interpreter and compiler. After over five years of availability on
the Apple Macintosh, Prograph is moving cross-platform with versions
for Windows and several Unices currently in testing. The most recent
version of Prograph, Prograph CPX, contains a cross-platform
application framework class library and high-level GUI builder.
Prograph will also have the ability to generate C++ code which will be
compilable under gcc linked to a set of compatibility classes on a
wide variety of platforms.
Rationale: There is significant demand among Prograph users for an
area of discussion on Usenet. Much of the discussion has taken place
in comp.lang.visual and comp.sys.mac.oop.misc, and non-Prographer
readers of those groups have complained about the load. With Prograph
imminently becoming a cross-platform development system, the time is
right for the creation of a separate comp.lang.prograph group.
What about Prograph Source Code?: Prograph source code should not be
loaded onto the usenet system, as it tends to be large. Instead,
there is a Prograph file archive maintained at ftp.iup.edu in the
info-prograph directory where files can be uploaded and downloaded via
anonymous ftp. For those without ftp access, an info-prograph-sources
mailing list can be established. alt.sources.mac also lists Prograph
code as one of its legal posting types.
The group will be gatewayed to:
Info-Prograph <info-p...@grove.iup.edu>
HOW TO VOTE
Send MAIL to: vot...@qualcomm.com
Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list.
Your mail message should contain one of the following statements:
I vote YES on comp.lang.prograph
I vote NO on comp.lang.prograph
You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome.
Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. The
votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge-
ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again.
It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly.
Only one vote per person and per account will be counted. Addresses and
votes of all voters will be published in the final voting results list.

unmoderated group comp.lang.prograph passes 269:12

For group passage, YES votes must be at least 2/3 of all valid (YES and NO)

serious allegations of voting irregularities are raised, the moderator of
news.announce.newgroups will create the group shortly thereafter.
