Hi All,
I posted on n.a.technical, but no response, so I hope someone here can
help me.   I'm writing a DOS newsreader client and I have a question
that I haven't been able to answer by RTFRFC.   My question is: What
is the maximum article number within a newsgroup, and what happens
when a group reaches that max?   Do the numbers wrap to 1 or are the
existing articles renumbered?
Thanks for any help,
