I use Bnews on a Sun. I have tried to ask one or two questions about Bnews, on one or two different newsgroups, but I have only ever got one reply (thanks whoever it was), and that said I should switch to Cnews (or INN). In fact, I can't even find a newsgroup where Bnews is ever discussed, so if anyone can suggest a better place to ask I would be grateful as I still have some glitches to sort out. In the absence of replies, I periodically think that I really must think seriously about switching to Cnews, so I have the following question: Can anyone give me any advice on switching from Bnews to Cnews? Are there any particular problems or issues I should look out for? Tim Lyons
