This is probably due, in part, to the one file approach of notes. Readnews has to open many files to run through a newsgroup while notes only opens 2 or 3 files. On our system the performance difference is huge (UNIX 5.0). Ed Bradford. (P.S. notesfiles still has its problems. I keep getting "orphaned responses" which have very nasty crt control sequences which puts notefiles into endless loops. Also, I haven't figured out how to automatically add new groups to the notesfiles yet. If someone can answer that question please send mail. whuxlb!egb harpo!egb ) Ed Bradford
