No offense, but I think the patch history of Cnews thus far vindicates Bnews' history and shows some of Henry's more ponderous rhetoric ("We don't subscribe to the patch of the week club.") to be kind of unachievable for big packages of widely distributed code that have to run on a lot of machines under a lot of different environments. I do think Cnews is an important package that advances the technology of news in many ways. -- -- uunet!ficc!karl "The last thing one knows in constructing a work is what to put first." -- Pascal
