<for the line eating god .....>
Can anyone out in net-land help me. I have two reoccurring problems
with this news subscribtion stuff.
1. When reading through the articles I will come up on one which
will say :
Article NNN of MMM ; date
etc,etc,0-2,000,000 lines
....[ynq]
Then when I respond with a 'y' or 'CR' I get nothing!!!!!
Is it lying about the number of lines present and there are
actually none? Or is something wrong with this 'readnews'?
(Or can this thing use invisible 'ink' :-))
2. When reading through the articles I will see something like:
Article 333 of 337; date
etc,etc,etc
...[ynq]
Then whether I read the current one or not it will skip 334,335,
336,337 or any sequencial combination of same and go on to the
next news group????
Much thanks in advance .......
