Did something change, or did my administrator do <something wrong, or what? You don't say what program you are using to read the news. So I can only speak from experience with rn. When 2.11 is installed, the DOXREFS line must be defined. Edit the localize.sh script file so that it will remove the comment leader. If using rn, install all patches (40) and rerun from scratch, ie, answer the questionaire again. The make it again. After all that is done, you should start seeing a Xrefs line in each news article that is cross posted. At that point, rn should only show it to you once. <Also, when reading, if I post a followup to a message, that message does <not get marked as read until I go back and reread it. This is annoying. Ya, I have noticed that too. Maybe Larry should consider this a bug and send out a patch for it. For now we are just going to have to look at it again to get it marked. -- harvard-\ ihnp4--\ Mr. Video seismo!uwvax.......!nicmad!brown (How I hate 4 line .sigs!) rutgers-/ decvax--/ terminus-/
