What happens ? Is this a bug of the software (I run version B 2.11.19, which should be the latest version of Bnews, isn't it ?) ??? Or is it a setup problem on our side ? Thanks in advance for any info/help. -- Karl Tombre - INRIA Lorraine / CRIN EMAIL : tombre@loria.crin.fr - POST : BP 239, 54506 VANDOEUVRE CEDEX, France
