A problem we had at watmath was that some people were using the wildcard "ALL" instead of "all" in their .newsrc files. Apparently readnews either did or did not care about the case sensitivity, and checknews did the reverse; hence, they gave different answers about the presence of news. I'm told that "all" is correct, not "ALL". -IAN! ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
