In this case, I only received the data to the 'p' in 'heap'. Since I have the source to this reader, I know that the programmer placed an arbitrary limit of 137 or so characters. But I also know (from my own work) that the NNTP server can only process 512byte lines. Could you please press <enter> while typing? Gee, maybe my newsreader is the only one that doesn't work correctly. :) Carl Schelin tcs@mailer.jhuapl.edu "When Cthulu calls, he calls collect"
