This breaks some of the shell scripts, like NEWSBIN/ctl/newgroup. The scripts try to find "ME" in the sys file, but fail to recognize "ME" followed by a slash. This is easy to fix. Anywhere you see egrep "^($me|ME):" replace it with egrep "^($me|ME)[:/]" I think it's only ctl/newgroup and ctl/checkgroups that are affected. -- Felix Lee flee@shire.cs.psu.edu *!psuvax1!flee
