Duh.  Although there is a minor bug in newgroups.c (which I sent on to
tmc.edu), our particular problem was with a hosed up active.times file.
Once I fixed that, NEWGROUPS works just fine on terminator.

I think I'll try out INN on terminator once we upgrade it to a Sun-4.
It does a lot more news reading than news transferring.
