I downloaded the active.zip file from the Demon ftp site and it does indeed list
all the NG's, but if you rename it 'NG' and put it in your /SPOOL/NEWS folder,
Oasis 1.35 ( for me anyway ) only seems to recognise the first 240 newsgroups.It
scrolls down them and stops after 240 groups, but I know the rest of them are
there in the file. Anyone know what we can do to get around this? It's
irritating not being able to browse and click to add a new news group. 

Thanks for any input.
