   What are the factors limiting the number of newsgroups, and how
   hard/easy would it be to increase the limit.  I'm running 2.11 news
   at patch level 14.

In src/defs.h:

#define LINES   512     /* maximum no. of lines in .newsrc              */

Ours was knocked up to 1024 a long, long time ago.  A trivial change,
recompile and re-install.
