I have just upgraded to Acornet 0.19 having been a (relatively) happy user of the old 'acorn starter pak' software for a couple of years. To ensure that I didn't waste a lot of time and money downloading use group messages already read on the old software I copied the relevant directories from the 'old' NewsBase into the 'new' NewsBase and all appeared to be fine - first connection picked up the correct next messages from each group. Today I have noticed that althought I am able to delete messages from Newsgroups, I am unable to change the lock status of any message from within TTFN, however if I change the locked status from a filer window TTFN correctly shows the changed status. HELP! What have I done wrong? How can I fix it? I have tried various combinations of access rights on files and directories without solving the problem. I am (and was) using TTFN v0.36, I am using Newsbase v0.57h (not sure what I *was* using but it was definitely an earlier version). A further, related but less urgent question: is it possible to get Newsbase to 'Show Queues' in Acornet? I don't know if this is a problem with my instalation or just that Newsbase doesn't provide this facility when used with FreeNews and FreeSMTP. -- Tony Spence
