Hi guys

The newsgroups file in my copy of Oasis 1.35 has become seriously 
corrupt and I was wondering if there is an easily FTP'd copy on Demon 
somewhere that will be current and in a compatible format to be used 
by Oasis. I seem to remember there being a list available somewhere 
but it was "commented" as to moderated groups etc. Will this screw 
things up? and , for that matter does anyone know why the NG file 
corrupts this way as this is not the first time :(

Cheers,,,,,,,,,,,,, greeny

It's called "active" and is on ftp.demon.co.uk, in something like the
pub/news directory.  There are plenty of compressed versions to choose
from.
