Well, I just upgraded to 19.30 (wasn't aware of the new port until yesterday), still no luck. However, I got rid of the find-file-noselect errors. >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). Yes. I got the same error while compiling 0.26, which connects to the nntp-server without problems. >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. Yes, that sounds quite reasonable. And it sounds like this is an OS/2-only problem. Sigh... Anyone have any clue to what's wrong here? > Dan> While I'm here...

However, I would like to have a cleaner interface to my email, where my emailclient polls the email from the server without having to rely on external programs. Apart from that, I'm perfectly happy with poppoll. :-) Regards, Dan Lewi Harkestad -- Dan Lewi Harkestad The National Hospital (Rikshospitalet) Medical Library and Information Center http://rhpc128.uio.no/danlh/home.htm "I ache, therefore I am..." - Marvin, the paranoid android
