Readnews version 2.10 has a bug which prevents you from reading the groups test, control or junk. Try this: readnews -n test To fix it, add two lines to the function findex(), which is at the bottom of readnews.c: --- readnews.c Thu May 19 09:17:11 1983 *************** *** 327,332 register char *p; first = *searchfor; for (p=index(string, first); p; p = index(p+1, first)) { if (p>string && p[-1] != '!' && strncmp(p, searchfor, strlen(searchfor)) == 0) return TRUE; --- 327,334 ----- register char *p; first = *searchfor; + if (strncmp(string, searchfor, strlen(searchfor)) == 0) + return TRUE; for (p=index(string, first); p; p = index(p+1, first)) { if (p>string && p[-1] != '!' && strncmp(p, searchfor, strlen(searchfor)) == 0) return TRUE; The same findex() routine, with the same bug, is used in checknews at the bottom of checknews.c. It should also be fixed, but is not as serious. -- Dave Galloway, CSRG, University of Toronto
