Byte-compiling seems to work fine for me(I get the same message about open-network-stream not being known to be defined, but those are pretty common). However, the fact that the TCP.EXE process doesn't even start does seem to imply that the problem may be with some changes to nntp.el. Dan> While I'm here...

What's wrong with using poppoll? It works fine for me. Richard Stanton
