I was able to install gnus3.10 on a sun 4 and read articles from a remote server. Unfortunately, every time I exit with q, and subsequently fire up gnus once again, the article numbers in the List of Newsgroups buffer do not get updated. This is especially strange since .newsrc and .newsrc.el do get updated. Any ideas? (The server works fine with gnews and rn.) ----- Gerry Wiener (303)497-8790 Email:gerry@toadwar.ucar.edu NCAR P.O.

I had a similar problem when I first subscribed to the new comp.sys.sun. I
had unsubscribed when it first went no-digest, resulting in a line like:
comp.sys.sun! 1-1734
Later, when I subscribed, I got an extra line like:
comp.sys.sun: 1-250
When reading ~/.newsrc, its data structures would be affected last by the
second line, but when writing it would update the first line. It always
thought I hadn't read anything recently. Fix was (of course) to remove the
second line and change the ! to a : in the first.
I don't know if it was an accident on my part that caused the duplicate
lines or a bug in gnus.

I don't know if it was an accident on my part that caused the duplicate lines or a bug in gnus. I suppose it was an accident, but the duplications should be checked by GNUS. The duplications of newsgroups will be checked properly in the next version of GNUS. However, this change will make reading of the raw startup file (.newsrc) slower.
