Newsgroups: news.software.b Subject: Creating newsgroups Keywords: active vs .newsrc Message-ID: <741@mccc.UUCP> Date: 7 May 89 21:13:04 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Mercer County Community College, Trenton, New Jersey 08690 Lines: 9 I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup, so apologies in advance if it isn't. When I try to create a new newsgroup using the command given in the monthly checkgroups posting, it changes the active but not .newsrc nor does it create the directory. Have I got something set in my news s/w that causes that, or is that a feature? Thanks.
