After using News Grazer since it came out, I must say it's hard to go back to anything else. There are a few problems, however, and I'm wondering if anyone else experiences them too. First, it seems to really mess up the .newsrc file if you want to use a tty-based news reader (unfortunately, it *is* rather difficult to fire up NewsGrazer when you're logged in by modem). This only happens when you actually read something, of course. I have it set to mark the messages as read once I read them, if that makes any difference. Second, it would be nice if it understood the ^l thing. Makes reading messages with possible spoilers easier. Perhaps a ^l would activate some sort of -more- button? Great program, in any event. ------ Mike Matthews, matthews@lewhoosh.umd.edu (NeXT)/matthews@umdd (bitnet) ------ "Matrimony isn't a word, it's a sentence."

Maybe newsgrazer can warn you when you're about to post to more than one newsgroup? For that matter, rn and nn should warn you as well. Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu

Alas, this won't help the poor comp.sys.amiga.advocacy users, seeing as they can't run NewsGrazer... :^) :^) :^) <-just to be perfectly clear Lawrence Miller

A question re NewsGrazer: it will post articles just fine when I'm logged in under "root", but it won't create articles when I'm logged in under the "me" account. Any suggestions? I'm using C-News, if that helps. I noticed that the /usr/spool/news" directories were not writeable by "other", so I changed the profile for "me" to add to the "news" group, but it didn't help. Steve
