Still no one has answered my second question : How do I read the articles in news.announce.newusers ? When I do 'readnews news.announce.newusers' I get 'No news.' I also tried using -x with the same result. --- James McCartney

The articles in n.a.a get re-posted every few weeks, probably under
cron control via Gene Spafford. Wait a week or two, they'll come back
around again.

When I do 'readnews news.announce.newusers' I get >'No news.' I also tried using -x with the same result. 1. This is interesting. I haven't seen a posting that asks two questions, of which this would be the second question. And the quoted one is the last one in the newsgroup for us here. Anyway: 2. The articles in news.announce.newusers are posted periodically, but only about once in two months. If your news system deletes articles more quickly than that, then for a while your system doesn't have them. Try again in a week and/or two and/or.... -- Norman Diamond, Sony Computer Science Lab (diamond%csl.sony.co.jp@relay.cs.net) The above opinions are my own. | Why are programmers criticized for If they're also your opinions, | re-implementing the wheel, when car you're infringing my copyright. | manufacturers are praised for it?

The only reason I'm replying to the above message is to test a new software feature. Until today my news editor did not support the References line. I made a few configuration changes. Could someone test the validity of all the header lines starting with 'Reply-to'? If those header lines are valid, please send e-mail. If they don't work, don't send mail. Please do not respond to this message in this newsgroup.

I post the stuff to news.announce.newusers every 4 to 6 weeks (depending on amount of change and my workload). Each article as an expiration of 90 days on it, and the articles were last posted in early April. They will get posted again in another week or so. -- Gene Spafford NSF/Purdue/U of Florida Software Engineering Research Center, Dept. of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, W.

Gee, an astrology department incorrectly predicts when a piece of news should expire? Hope that'll teach you. Oh what's that? An *astronomy* department. Oh in that case, they ought to be able to make the prediction. Get after your system administrator about that one. -- Norman Diamond, Sony Computer Science Lab (diamond%csl.sony.co.jp@relay.cs.net) The above opinions are my own. | Why are programmers criticized for If they're also your opinions, | re-implementing the wheel, when car you're infringing my copyright. | manufacturers are praised for it?
