(archie for it) It runs fine under FreeBSD. A side note: I believe slurp and suck both issue NEWNEWS commands to the server which has LARGE impact on the server (at least INN). I've gone to psl which is a perl slurp and it uses .newsrc type files to retrieve news the same way your reader would (MUCH less overhead). > -Mit > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Will Mitayai Keeso Rowe, mitayai@dreaming.org > http://www.dreaming.org/~mitayai > Toronto, Ontario, Canada ______________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow Powered by FreeBSD rsnow@txdirect.net http://www.freebsd.org
