It is flexible and powerful within the Gnu Emacs environment. ` There are a few complaints. First, Gnews can be *painfully* slow. `It takes incredibly long to go from newsgroup to newsgroup. I don't `see why it should take so long, but I have not checked the code. I had the same problem when I first used Gnews. After byte-compiling it, it was much faster. We do have a resonably fast machine, however (9*VAX/780). -- Piet van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, University of Utrecht Padualaan 14, P.O.
