It worked with A-news format and made assumptions about things arriving in order. "Newsoutput" was almost as bad (although it was more coherent). The new version is much better organized, understands and generates USENET compatible headers, and doesn't through away as much information as it used to. Tw and Lou did a wonderful job of fixing it up. I will probably be posting the current notesfile source & documentation to net.sources in the next month. -- Ray Essick, University of Illinois
