I would say that what I'm looking for should be able to cope with 
groups of (say) 5000 articles, and comfortably with groups of (say) 
3000.

Problem with Snews is lack of reference threading, though. It's one of 
those things that once you get used to it, a group like DL whose 
threads tend to go all over the place is near impossible without. (I 
know plenty of people manage withough in DL, but as I say, once you've 
had the luxuary of reference threading it puts a different perspective 
on things...)

Cppnews had reference threading, so if I can port that to DJGPP that 
would be a good starting place.

Mark.
