It's not as clear to me, however, as to Kim Storm that news.software.nn is the correct name. It may be well so, but I don't see an already existing news.software.rn, news.software.vnews, etc. Maybe this is the time to wholeheartedly expand news.software.* into newsreaders as well. Do any of the ancients here remember the original purpose of the news.software heirarchy? Anyway, in summary, YES, THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. nn, BTW, is available from mthvax.cs.miami.edu (129.171.32.5) under ~ftp/pub/nn for anon. ftp. aem -- a.e.mossberg / aem@mthvax.cs.miami.edu / aem@umiami.BITNET / Pahayokee Bioregion Rose is a rose is a rose. - Gertrude Stein
