No. I was going to post a followup. That directory is (was) a link to a directory that used to exist before I rearranged all my partitions. It exists now, and I can use the CVS gnus. Which is good because it does several good things that the latest ognus release doesn't. But I'm probably not the only person in the world who rearranges partitions and doesn't fix all the links to the old partitions. And gnus never complained about this before today. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@laymusic.org , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
