Pay heed to the line about "stripinvis" in the Known Problems list. Don't bother with the stdio replacement -- use the stock stuff. Works great. Compiles especially easily (as do most things) if GNU GCC is used. On my 16mhz 386 with MFM drives, an older Cnews unbatched at 7 articles/sec, and the Performance Release took that up to 11. Haapi is now a 50mhz 486 with IDE and SCSI, and unbatches at 21+ -- Clay Haapala "Behold the Holy Pogo Stick" clay@haapi.mn.org
