Bill,
I think you will get more and/or better answers in a W7 related newsgroup (alt.windows7.general perhaps ?). Regards, Rudy Wieser |

If you know a newsgroup is for sure on your USENET server, you also have the option of hand-editing the .rc file on your end and adding something like this: alt.windows7.general: 1-1 And that will attempt to fetch all headers currently on the server. You would edit the .rc while the USENET client program is exited and is not running. Paul |

John, Paul,
Assuming your usenet client uses a .rc file. Aa I'm still using good-old outlook express such entries are stored in the "folders.dbx" database, which would need knowledge of the DirectDB API to be able to change it. Luckily outlook express checks for new newsgroups itself, and will even mark them - though I realized some time ago I have no idea when such a mark is removed again ... Regards, Rudy Wieser. "J. P.

The first GUI news client I used, used a file with the name ".newsrc", so the rc-ness of the file is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think at the time, that client supported more than one server at a time (that's why the server_name was not part of the filename). And the original view in it was unthreaded. You had to compile that newsreader from scratch, and one of the parameters in there (max_newsgroups) had to be adjusted as your server group list grew. Most of my usage of USENET back then was kibitzing (reading SunManagers for breadcrumbs about Sparc). The usage of .rc files has been around for a while, which is why I suggest that as a first place to look. Thunderbird still uses .rc files. Seamonkey client (being a clone) also uses .rc files. Netscape Communicator suite would also use a .rc file. I would expect a lot of Unix/Linux clients to use them. I bet the very first Mac USENET client I used (which had a large graphic when it started up), had a .rc file. If a person makes it to USENET, without using Google Groups or one of the web leech sites, I have to assume they have half a clue about their newsreader. They wouldn't have got it running without looking around a bit. I even had a devil of a time getting Thunderbird set up the first time. I didn't get that working in the first ten minutes. Probably compiling my first newsreader, was easier than that :-) (rn and trn and xvnews). Some of the early newsreaders used a ****-load of hotkey combos, none of which I'd remember today. We're spoiled by the modern stuff. Paul |

It is best to start learning Windows 10 now before it is too late. When you get old, your brain can't absorb new ways of doing things quickly. start now and by 2020 you'll be expert in Windows 10. A decent Win10 experience requires: 1) A quad core CPU (as much for browser, as for Windows Defender, Search Indexer) 2) An SSD for C: disk storage (trust me). 3) 1GB of RAM is sufficient to start (enough to post to USENET). 4) A modern video card with sufficient WDDM drivers for the job. Your old FX5200 isn't a candidate, nice as it is. The OP will fail on (1), (2), (4), at least. And the Win10 upgrade adviser that runs early in the install, will reject the CPU because it lacks certain instructions. Win7 isn't quite as picky. A dual core would be a reasonably choice for Win7. Even a single core with Hyperthreading, is close enough to run Notepad. Once you start installing bloated drivers (for webcam and printer), the wheels will start to fall off on an underpowered Win7 machine. Turning off Aero in Windows 7, may help a bit. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...gs-change.html And using WinSat, you can get some idea just how decrepit your hardware is. For example, if your graphics receive a slow rating, and you know the card to be fast, you could then run off and check that a driver for graphics was installed in Device Manager. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/...score-matters/ Paul |

VanguardLH,
See replies to your *multi*-posted copy of your message over in the Windows 7 newsgroup. Brush up on your definition of multi-posting please: Check the timestamps, as well as the differing content. If anything, that post in "the Windows 7 newsgroup" could well be a direct response to my suggestion to do that, posted here about 10 minutes before he _re-posted_ his question there*. Or do you want to deny him a chance to actually get his question answered ? *and yes, there are rules/guidelines for reposting too. I don't think he violated those either. Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. Did you maybe step outof bed with the wrong foot first ? Onto a lego block perhaps ? 'Cause you sound grouchy ... |
