I don't think it can but I'm sure somebody will correct me if I am
wrong. If it cannot, it's not gnus's fault; I believe that google
doesn't support nttp access to its groups.
in any case, have you checked out any of the free news servers out
there? I use nntp.aioe.org which is fine for low volume contributions
(I think they impose some reasonable limits). I'm offline so I cannot
check to see if comp.lang.forth is there but I cannot see why it
wouldn't be as many other groups in the comp.lang.* hierarchy are
present.
HTH,
eric
