It seemed to work, but when I run 'make update' I get the message "nonstandard newsgroup". Furthermore, it seems that the machines that I feed must also explicitly make this newsgroup if they are to get this group. I thought that the news software makes new groups automatically when articles from new groups come in? There was no mail for news stating that a news group must be created either. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. -- Dominick Samperi, Manhattan College, NYC manhat!samperi@NYU.EDU ihnp4!cmcl2!manhat!samperi (cmcL2) ihnp4!cmcl2!phri!dasys1!samperi
