Au1100s.113 net.news.b utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!harpo!npois!u1100s!dad Thu Jan 14 13:30:11 1982 NOT inconsistent In order to aviod getting news about unix-wizards, I have found it necessary to have two entries on the option line of my .newsrc file: i.e. !all.unix-wizards !all.unix-wizar This seems to stem from the fact that Unix limits file names to 14 characters while many newsgroup names exceed 14 characters. This same problem presumably exists for other newsgroups that exceed 14 characters (e.g. net.digests-people). ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
