Maybe for the time being we can act like this:
ren rmgroup.exe rmgroup!.exe
Make a batch file, called rmgroup.bat
@echo off
rem
rem RMGROUP.BAT
rem For Yarn: rename RMGROUP.EXE to RMGROUP!.EXE
rem Then use this RMGROUP.BAT like you used RMGROUP.EXE
rem
if %1.==. goto USAGE
echo Removing old %1-messages from the news database......
expire -o -d999 %1
echo.
echo Done!
echo.
echo Now removing group: %1 ....
rmgroup! %1
echo.
echo Done!
goto END
:USAGE
echo.
echo PC Yarn
echo Remove newsgroup from active list
echo usage: rmgroup name
:END
--Groeten,
Steef.
