My system is set up to spool local articles, and I get the "garbled"
message.  It has nothing to do with free space.  As far as system V.0
goes, the new software does not work - I even found a syntax error.
I am interested in getting it to work, but I am not inclined to apply
patches that happen to episodically appear in this news group.  This is
no disrespect to Mr. Van Artsdalen or the other excellent programmers
who might be working on this, but it was my understanding that Rick
Adams was maintaining this software.  Shouldn't we be working with him?
