I've been floundering around with nnkiboze for days and have yet to get anything useful from it. I've concluded, without further coding, it is basically useless and can do harm. Some of this is documented in my postings to this group recently. Have you noticed how after running a kiboze search, the groups searched have all ticked articles unticked [and thereby uncached] and show up as unread, so that the number of unread showing is how ever many are on the server. And of course any ticked articles that were older than the servers expirey are history, if you are running with caching set to 't'. I lost quite a few older articles that way. Nnkiboze should come with a danger sign on it. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
