[net.news.b] creating groups

Excuse my ignorance, but how is an administrator supposed to create
a new group such as to.gatech under 2.10.2? Inews -C doesn't
seem to work anymore.

Just as I feared, the problem turned out to be operator error.
I was using /usr/bin/inews instead of /usr/lib/news/inews. As we
all know (except I forgot) 2.10.2 keeps inews in /usr/lib/news.
/usr/bin/inews was left over from 2.10.1.

I don't normally like to publish stupid things I have done but perhaps
this will save someone else a little time.
