As part of revising the Which Newsgroup FAQ, I am attempting to
determine which demon.* groups are moribund, so that people can be
warned that they may not get a response to a message in such a group.
The lack of posts to this group suggests that it might be effectively
dead. However it is possible that some people knowledgeable about the
use of the Archimedes with Demon are still reading this group, and could
help anyone who asked a question here. If you consider yourself such a
person, please would you follow-up this message.

Whilst the name doesn't cover all the relevant hardware we would certainly
field any enquiry even if we cannot answer it directly ourselves.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd try to answer a query if one surfaced. I suspect the lack of traffic
is due to all the RISC OS users on Demon being technical wizards and not
needing any help. :)
