Being fairly new to the net, our site has AUTONEWNG set. I thought that eventually we would get all the newsgroups that our neighbors would give. It turns out, however, that if a newsgroup like "net.group.subgroup" is received and created before "net.group" has been created, then all later articles in "net.group" will be lost. The tests of the form if ( exists(groupdir) ) ... all say that "net.group" is present, but it is not found in the active file. New sites should watch out for this by examining their active file while the old sites decide on the best fix. How about it, "old sites"? ___________________________________________________ Matt Arpa: Crawford@ANL-MCS.ARPA Crawford UUCP: ihnp4!oddjob!matt
