That's what I do, as much as I can.

I've been looking. It's not an easy thing to do, especially when you're
not especially sure you can trust what they say. Or when you ask them
if they have UQWK, and they say "Huh? What's that?" *sigh*

I know what you mean.

Yep. That's the one I was talking about. And, I realize that Souper
ignores that file.

Figured as much. Made for a *real* large mail packet when I switched
over the Souper from UQWK. Something I did notice, though...the newsrc
file in the Souper directory on my PC looks *just* like the .newsrc file
in the home directory on my shell account. I wonder if I could upload
the file from the PC, and pull via UQWK that way, to avoid an overly-
large packet...on one of those occasions my provider has PPP problems.

Agreed.

I woulda done this, but I was out of town when I got this, and by the
time I got back into town, you had mailed me to let me know you already
had it up and running. :)
