	Well, if you can't fix the OS, fix the code. Since Henry and Goeff
don't want to fix it for your special case, that leaves either you fixing
it, or your hiring or otherwise convincing someone else to fix it. Another
alternative is to write a new news-transfer agent that works under your
OS.

	How can something that is almost 2 Megabytes in size be called
a "kernel"? The truth in advertising laws should apply to software. Let's
call it a "gourd" or perhaps a "watermelon".
