No. As a matter of fact, I have never seen any output like that from
Souper95 since I have been using it. Do I have my kill file set up
incorrectly? Could it be the commands that I use in my DOS batch file
(to run Souper95)? Here is the batch file that I use:

cd\
d:
cd yarn\souper
souper95 shoga.wwa.com <my login ID goes here> <my password goes here>
cd\
cd yarn
import95 -u d:\yarn\souper
cd\
d:
unzip -o d:\upload\wwar.zip -d d:\yarn\souper
del d:\upload\wwar.zip
cd yarn\souper
souper95 -s shoga.wwa.com
cd\

The NNTPSERVER and HOME variables are set in my autoexec.bat file. If
you need any other information, please let me know. I would really
like to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Thanks, in advance, for any and all assistance.
