The "code" to call '00000000' junk is ~\spool\news\ACTIVE, and I have 
indeed changed this. My point is that Addgroup is not looking at ALIAS, 
but making assumptions which it perhaps should not. Addgroup certainly 
has access to ALIAS in order to do its job, after all.

This is, of-course, unlikely to cause a problem for most peoplem, but it 
makes me wonder if unbatch also makes assumptions (I use cppnews, of-
course, and can't therefore test this).
