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.
