Hi, Here is a transcript of a telnet to the nntp port: 200 foo.bar.net NNTPcache server V1.0.7.1 Jul 21 1997 ready (posting ok). group alt.yoga 211 59 10719 10777 alt.yoga stat 10770 223 10770 <5r23nf$uti@news.aus.world.net> status next 223 10720 <5qer42$e1l$1@gte1.gte.net> Article retrieved; request text separately. It appears that the STAT doesn't set the curent article pointer as it should. Is this a bug? pbd -- Going to church does not make a person religious, nor does going to school make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a person a car.
