It doesn't work with 2.10.3 (I'm alpha testing it here). The problem is with the routine which reads the active file to generate the default .newsrc file. It mis-reads it (only looks for 2 fields per line) and generates a VERY bogus .newsrc file. The same problem should also appear with 2.10.2. -- --- David Herron --- ARPA-> ukma!david@ANL-MCS.ARPA or ukma!david<@ANL-MCS> --- or david%ukma.uucp@anl-mcs.arpa --- Or even anlams!ukma!david@ucbvax.arpa --- UUCP-> {ucbvax,unmvax,boulder,oddjob}!anlams!ukma!david --- {ihnp4,decvax,ucbvax}!cbosgd!ukma!david "It's *Super*User* to the rescue!"
