Azehntel.114 net.news utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!menlo70!sytek!zehntel!berry Tue Dec 8 07:49:26 1981 Bnews peculiarity Now that I have figured out the -a -x "feature" I have another query. I have noticed, and several users have complained to me, that some articles come up more than once, even after they have been read. This morning, for example, we had one new net.columbia article, #10. When My .newsrc line read "net.columbia: 1-9". When I said "readnews" I got net.columbia numbers 3 and 10. Also, sometimes after I get "last article. [qfr]" and exit, if I immediatly say "readnews" again, I get more news that I had not seen. Anyone else get anything like this? Our installation was according to the docco and without incident. (I wish everything was as easy to install!!). -berry ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
