I'm currently using KA9Q 2.16d as installed by DIS216D.EXE, now I don't
know if there is a later version that fixes these bugs as ftp.demon is
still down, but the problems I'm having are:

Sometimes ka9q will try to access its history file as
/demon\spool\news\history
instead of
\demon\spool\news\history

Once it's done this once, it does it continuously until the program is
quit and restarted. Because it can't find it's history file (and can't
create since its a invalid path) it closes down the news session and
no news is downloaded until you quit and restart the program.

Also, telnet doesn't seem to like KA9Q, I'm trying to telnet into
sunsite.unc.edu, but get no "login:" prompt, just two strange characters,
so I have to rlogin instead, but this does not seem to be successful
every time, some times it ignores the command like you just pressed return
on it's own.

Now, can anyone tell me if I can remove the "News arrived" message after
every news article? When I'm telnetted to a remote site, after a while
KA9Q seems to freeze everything until I press F10 so that it can print out
all the "News arrived (2/1028) etc..." lines then it gets back to normal.
