I suspect this is associated with the problem on the Internet
yesterday (see demon.announce). All seems normal today.

I think there is a problem my end, using the Ant suite. Tonight after
connecting to demon news, I downloaded no new news sonce yesterday. I
then altered Config to download news since the previous day. After
re-connecting to demon.news, I downlowded my "usual" amount of daily
news.

Will re-send to the inetchat mailing list.

My girlfriend does her nails with white-out. When she's asleep, I go
over there and write misspelled words on them.

No it is my (Ant INS) end. It happened again tonight. Connected to
news. Downloaded new newsgroups and then disconnected from the server.
Reset news collect to yesterday, re-connected to demon.news and
promptly downloaded 600 articles.

I was going to commit suicide the other day, but I must not have been 
serious because I brought a beach towel.

Funny, I had some strange news problems with INS that I sorted out
today. Most groups were OK, but not c.s.a.*  (Never showed me any
new articles, all always marked as read! ... I merely cleaned out my
/nntprc etc. in !Marceldir, and lo and behold all is well again.
Blasted computers, who'd have'em.

Cheers,

This is a fairly well known bug ! Its listed in the FAQ on ANT's web
pages, they suggest a cure that is similar to yours........

Some weeks it does it a couple of times others not at all !

I may have looked in the wrong part of ANT FAQ but I can't find the
above. Could someone give a few more details how to solve it. I have
looked in !Marcel and can't find /nntprc - where is it and what is meant
by  etc (I mean what files not what does it actually mean :)!  )

Thanks

Its in the FAQ under known bugs.....

--------it says !

Summary of fault
      * When reading news downloaded by !InetSuite, some entries in a 
      Group <newsgroup> window are blank and double-clicking on 
      them may result in !Marcel crashing.

Workaround
      * Close the newsgroup window in !Marcel
      
      Make a copy of the 
      !InetSuite.Internet.Spool.News.<affected.news.group> 
      directory so you can email an archived copy of it to ANT Support.
      
      Delete 
      !InetSuite.Internet.Spool.News.<affected.news.group>./overview
      
      Reload !Marcel to re-read the newsgroup.
      
      Send to ANT Support a copy of both 
      !InetSuite.Internet.Spool.News./active and the 
      archived newsgroup.
      
---------ends-------  

deleting the overview file usually works for me !

Try this...

Within the blank window, choose Menu > Select all
Then menu > Selection > Unread
Close the list window and re-open.

Works for me.

I saw a sign: "Rest Area 25 Miles". That's pretty big. Some people must be
really tired.
