This newsgroup has been very helpful for me, and currently resides
on the H.D. of my small travel PC. I attempted to find it and put
it into my larger home-based PC and did not succeed. I searched
through all the available alt. groups, including other Windows,
but this one is absent.

Assuming you are using the same news service there as here, Optimum
Online, you can be sure that they carry alt.windows7.general . You
probably need to refresh your list of groups. This group is fairly new
compared to most other Usenet groups.
