Of course. I'm just wondering whether it's possible to do this whether NNTP or whether some extra-protocol channel has to be used. innd probably doesn't come with glimpse or wais pre-installed, but would it be possible to have a new NNTP command that would hand off a query to an external agent and output the result from that? Like: XSEARCH group:gnus.ding search.*term innd would then do system("/usr/bin/search-program") with the search terms from stdin, and just output what the search-program outputs. It could, for instance, return a list of headers with in valid NNTP format. I could write a proof-of-concept version of "search-program"... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
