Your question is too vague (note that I have no access to the sources/binaries group, only comp.sys.amiga.tech), could you elaborate? >2 - Is the rnews of any use on a 1M machine?

News batching is slated for 1.07 or 1.08 (I hope, cross fingers), possibly with a CNews port, otherwise I'll write up something. You can currently create pseudo news groups with an alias (see the manual page for the Aliases file). I.E. create an alias on one machine 'the hub' and simply send mail to that alias. -Matt >--Frank >-- > Frank Ch.
