I'm not sure.  I'm running the latest patchlevel of Cnews and each
time I get one of those bionet.* checkgroup messages I get a message
telling me to remove all my non-bionet groups.  I asked Mr. Lear about
it and he said my news software was not set up/working correctly.  Is
anyone running the current (jan 18, I believe) version of Cnews and
not having these problems?
