I don't grab most things, since I tend to not have time recently to play with them. Instead, I read about things from various groups, and if it sounds interesting and useful, I get it from some other route. >It's true that trn has problems, but let's not exaggerate its faults >beyond the truth. The fact that the first posting was *completely* unusable is not exaggeration? Everyone I've talked to or who has posted has said the same thing, that it wouldn't successfully unpack. The "fixed" postings didn't help me. >I don't understand this complaint; my thread selection seems to be in >increasing order by posting date. It's entirely possible that the version I have (which I got from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu, not the net) is older, and this was changed. Note that, once a thread is selected, the messages are presented in the correct order. But the thread selection menu is in reverse order, and, when I quit out of it, I seem to be at the last article, not the first. -- Sean Eric Fagan | "I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; sef@kithrup.COM | I had a bellyache at the time." -----------------+ -- The Turtle (Stephen King, _It_) Any opinions expressed are my own, and generally unpopular with others.
