Hi folks!

I grapped UUPC 1.11q and SNEWS/2 2.0 from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu a while ago.
So far I have managed to set up UUPC.  It is the new SNEWS which
makes me wonder....

Every time I try to 'addgroup xxx' I get the following message:

           ADDGROUP: (SNEWS /2 2.0)

           Couldn't read rc info

What's wrong with this?  Addgroup will create the file 'active' to d:\news
and it creates the directory d:\news\newsbase, and it creates all
the normal files there, including '00000000' and '00000000.idx'.

I've mangled through all the documentation -- no help.  Are there some
compatibility problems or something I should know?

I've tried to ftp a newer 1.11t of UUPC from sun.soe.clarkson.edu, but
for some unknown reason I always got bad files. (I tried 4 different
times during two weeks about a month ago.)  Version 1.11q I got
from there was all OK.

*****  Could someone who has set up a _working_ UUPC + SNEWS please
       mail or post any info -- THANK YOU!  *****
