-the Supercedes: header.  The latest patch, 2.11 patch #13, has just been
-released and posted to the newsgroup news.software.b.
-Updates will be posted with a Supercedes:
-header.  If you're not using a relatively recent version of netnews, your

-different copies of the same files on your disk.  UPDATE NOW!!!!

Does anyone know whether uuhosts -unbatch will still work?  I'm a bit
worried about jumping up to patch #13 (we're stable at #8) and would
like some breathing time to see if #13 is stable.  If uuhosts will
continue to work, it can deal with the additional articles (I have it
set up to delete the article after extracting the map).  If not, I've
got double trouble...
