Great to hear of a much improved news program, but the changes sound pretty major. Are we going to have a 'flag day' when everybody in the world has to change their netnews, or will the new news be upward compatible? Also, I'd like to see some hack to the current news so that the '.newsrc' file is created magically when a user invokes 'news', so that there is a minimal user-interface change. At a large installation, saying 'everybody do this today' seldom works. I'm not saying the changes aren't good, but don't forget the interface problem. s. mcgeady
