Newsgroups: net.news.b Distribution: net Could someone please help me? I am running news version 2.10+some, and readnews is pretty regularly trashing my .newsrc file. It seems to put in the proper stuff at the end of the file, but it is preceded by an absolutely huge number of lines reading (null) plus a bunch of crap that looks like semi-flushed buffers. I am running XENIX v2.something on an altos586. It is a pretty vanilla version 7 system. Also, incidentally, readnews likes to go bye-bye with a Out of space message. Please!
