Also, be sure to follow some rules of  Netiquette1, Netiquette2

Firewall restrictions? If your company has a firewall against all NNTP newsgroups, ask your network administrator to please open it up for just the Sybase server. Usually, there is no problem doing so.

Compuserve PowerBuilder Forum:

GO POWERSOFT ~or~ GO PBFORUM

This PowerBuilder Forum used to be hosted by the Team Powersoft (now called TeamSybase) people.  However, they moved to the Sybase newsgroups (above).

Since then, another group has taken over the Compuserve forum.  So it is still active and available if you wish to use it as well.  You can also access the PBForum via the web at

http://forumsa.compuserve.com/vlforums/default.asp?SRV=PowerBuilder

Please note however that you still must be a Compuserve member to visit this site.
