X-Version: Rodney's UUCP modules 02/11/90 V1.18

After installing the latest version of the Mercury UUCP package (v1.18) as
posted on comp.binaries.atari.st I noticed the following differences from the
previous version (v1.15) :

server.prg - crashes with 2 bombs
showmail.prg - crashes with 2 bombs
rnews.prg    - crashes if there are more than a couple of news files waiting
	       to be processed

so I reverted to the older version.  On a more happy note, expire.prg does work
properly now.  Other than these I couldn't see any differences from the older
version - was there ?

Incidently, does anyone have a better newsreader that is compatible with 
Mercury (eg: supports 'unsubscribe from newsgroup' and 'kill' files) ?

Cheers

Geoffrey

PS: I still think it's a great package rodney !
