There's no patch to rn, but it can be easily fixed by a small command file which was posted here a few months ago: --------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # Usage: shrink.newsrc # # Shrink out all the commas in unsubscribed to groups. # (i.e. mark skipped articles as read) cp $HOME/.newsrc o.newsrc sed < $HOME/.newsrc 's/^\([^!]*![^,-]*\).*[,-]\(.*\)/\1-\2/' > /tmp/newsrc$$ && mv /tmp/newsrc$$ $HOME/.newsrc ls -l o.newsrc $HOME/.newsrc --------------------------------------------------- There was also a companion program sort.newsrc which sorts .newsrc into any desirable order. -- Amos Shapir National Semiconductor, 2900 semiconductor Dr. Santa Clara, CA 95052-8090 Mailstop E-280 amos@nsc.nsc.com or amos@taux01.nsc.com
