Hi again.

Just a little more info on my problem to give you some clues:

cmd:  creat newsgroup alt.* (or *)/server=servername/inqu/proto=decnet

values in newsremclient.c at point of error:
	net_read_status=2
	read_iosb.iostatus=8204
	resp_size=925
	group name: alt.recovery
	return_buf = 512+505= 1017 character spaces.

Error occurs in the sys$qio call in line_read.  Net_read traps the error
and sets the net_read_status to 2.  The program then falls through the
error handling code nicely and reports:
	"Error- Lost link to server" message.

It then goes on to create all groups BUT alt.recovery.

Once again,  thanks in advance
