At any rate they seem to get 38 out of 76 rec groups. This is going to change. Recently a checkgroup control message with distribution eunet was received here. I contained ALL rec, soc, alt, and talk groups, plus bit, biz, and pubnet groups which previously did not come to Europe at all. This is a result of the replacement of mcvax by mcsun, which has a much larger CPU and disk capacity. Too bad I still am dependent of an American site for the u3b groups :-( -- Pim Zandbergen internet : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : ..!uunet!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 512837
