Hello,

I've been trying desperately to get NewsGrazer to work via an NNTP connection
over SLIP.  I've tested the connection out using GNUS in GNU Emacs, which
works fine.  Here's what happens:  I launch NewsGrazer, which immediately
says "Locating Active Newsgroups..." at the top of its main window.  The
mouse pointer starts spinning, and the main menu has not yet popped up in the
upper left corner of the screen since the application has not gotten that far.

I can do a 'netstat' and see that NewsGrazer has established an NNTP connection
to the appropriate server, but after the exact same time it takes for GNUS
to read in the active file, NewsGrazer quits.  [Further evidence that
NG is actually doing something:  'alt.something is already in the active file'
or a similar message appears in the console window just as NG quits.]

I thought this might be a permissions-related problem--maybe NG can't write
to a certain file, etc.--but I ran it as root with the same effect.

Does anyone have a working setup for NewsGrazer under release 2.1?

Thanks,

Eric

P.S.  I'm also having a bit of trouble posting--I can't tell if this is really
going out.  Can someone mail me a confirmation if you see this before Sunday?
