Hmmm. This seems more like a gnus problem to me. Do you mean that
NTEmacs, mangles filenames automatically? From what I can see gnus
doesn't seem to use any special code for NTEmacs here.

If Gnus is used under Win32 this is required:
(setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist '((?: . ?_)
(?+ . ?-)))
OTOH this should be the default for theese systems -- so make sure the
variable contain the proper value.
The check is
(string-match "windows-nt\\|os/2\\|emx" (symbol-name system-type))
would that evaluate to true on a Windows 95/98 system, I wonder?

Hmmm, I wonder if this is why gnus would hang for me in certain groups
when using XEmacs/NT? Gnus hanging up under Xemacs/NT is the main
reason I'm not using XEmacs/NT right now. Perhaps its worth another
look....
Cheers, Jody

On Win98 mingw32 build, XEmacs 21.2 b19 (from CVS):
(string-match "windows-nt\\|os/2\\|emx" (symbol-name system-type))
0
(symbol-name system-type)
"windows-nt"

On NT cygwin build, XEmacs 21.0 (From CygWIN 1.0 CD).
(string-match "windows-nt\\|os/2\\|emx" (symbol-name system-type))
==> nil
(symbol-name system-type)
==> "cygwin32"

There is a patch solve SCORE file name problem in CVS (0.99-pre).
