I have just gotten over the hump in upgrading yale-comix to 2.10.1,
and I have three things to say:
1. To the writers and maintainers of News, Thank You! News 2.10.1
installed quite nicely, modulo the normal few problems but nothing
earth stopping, and the improvement is staggering (I hesistate
to admit it, but we were running 2.8 . . .)
2. To people on systems not yet upgraded to 2.10.1: do it! I am an
undergraduate, with all the demands on my time that that implies,
and I did it (mostly over the weekend). Even if you aren't the
system maintainer, do it, or push him/her into doing it! News
2.10.1 is a win, especially if you install apollo!rees's article-
searching speedup, and the little sleeping mod to uucp.
3. To everybody who replied to our net.test article, thank you.
We will be posting to net.news.bugs shortly about the problems we had;
anybody who wants to ask me anything please feel free to send mail.

I didn't write the article search speedup code, just fixed the bugs and posted it. It's been a big help here. Will the real author please make yourself known? With all the talk about duplicate old news, is it time to repost the fix for that too?
