Some of my favourite newsgroups have had no articles make it to our site (uvicctr) for months. Our system administrator feels some essential piece of software may have been lost during the transition last November. Our news from the US comes from uw-beaver through ssc-vax. Enquiries seem to show similar problems at ssc-vax. The empty newsgroups that I know of are: mod.computers.macintosh mod.mac mod.mac.sources mod.mac.binaries comp.sources.mac mod.risks Does anybody know why many receive articles with no problem but some receive nothing? Please reply to {ubc-vision|uw-beaver}!uvicctr!jholland

One clue to the empty newsgroups at UVic is that an article I posted to comp.sources.mac received no replies. I would guess that no articles are getting out as well as no articles coming in for the empty newsgroups. -=- John Holland, UVic Computing Services {ubc-vision|uw-beaver}!uvicctr!jholland

Reception of mod.mac.sources has been spotty of late. I'm still waiting for parts 2 and 3 of the macdraw to imagen program! Bob Berger Datacube Inc. Systems / Software Group 4 Dearborn Rd.

The empty newsgroups that I know of are: mod.computers.macintosh - dead newsgroup, replaced with mod.mac mod.mac - gatewayed from INFO-MAC@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA mod.risks - gatewayed from RISKS@SRI-KL.ARPA If you are not getting mod.mac or mod.risks, check the "sys" files of your netnews neighbors; these newsgroups are active, and are sent with a Distribution header that reads "world". If "world" is not in the "sys" files of each of your USENET neighbors between your site and ucbvax, you will not get the articles. keeper of the network news on ucbvax, Erik E.
