Like -- set up a server somewhere that will return the URL of the charter for a given group. That way the Gnus source code won't have to change when these URLs change. The "server" can just be something pretty simple -- say a PHP script that looks up the hierarchy in a list and returns the URL. That way other news readers can use the service, too. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
