I still use Dillon UUCP 1.16, it works nicely for me since more than
two years. But now suddenly a few newsgroups, those with the biggest
traffic like csa.advocacy, didn't show up anymore. Closer investigation
showed that the article numbers (the filenames) were in low number
ranges, while the entries in .newsrc had gone beyond 32000. So
obviously UUCICO wrapped around at the 16-bit border.

Is there any way to teach this UUCICO 32-bit arithmetics without
recompiling everything?
