Hi Folks,

	I presume someone out there knows the answer to this question...
I'm writing a program that needs to read in the records in .newsrc, but
I'm having serious problems doing so.  I'm using fscanf, which I presume
is correct, because it is reading half of it in.

	the format that I am using is fscanf(f1,"%s %d", group, upper), but
it seems to only read in the group, pass through the loop fine and then
read the upper (the numeric component).  I want it to read both in at
once.

	I hope I've been specific enough, so if someone has an idea of
what format I should be using, please help.

Thanks in advance...

Marc
