Often times I am thinking about something about a month or two after it has been discussed, and frankly an nntp server group is easier to search than some mailing list archives. One reason is that a person can use which ever front end reader they prefer, including most of the ones that are part of Un*x to read e-mail. I had been using pine for the group, now I have OE 6.0 which is the one I would rather have. As far as the info to have on the cygwin website, how about the stuff that I had attached in my message, telling people how to get to the newsgroup, Christopher? -- Sincerely, Daniel Adams - dpa3@dana.ucc.nau.edu http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~dpa3 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)- Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
