Here  is  what happens  to these  names on  my system.   I  am a SysV
machine running notes. All groups with the same truncated name are
in the same notes file. The notesfile thinks its name is the first
of these to hit my system. Notes is a significant portion of the
news community, as is Sys V. This can't be a rare occurance.

Gee,  thanks.    I  get  all  mod.computers.*  in  one  group and all
mod.protocols.* in another.  This is easier?
